The purpose of this phase I study is to test the safety of different dose levels of specially prepared cells collected from the patient called "modified T cells". The investigators want to find a safe dose of modified T cells for patients with this type of cancer that has progressed after standard therapy. The investigators also want to find out what effects these modified T cells have on the patient and the cancer. For patients who were treated, had progression of disease and were removed from study, duplicate enrollment is permitted if it is determined the patients could receive a benefit. If the patients meet all eligibility criteria, they can be enrolled onto study a second time as a new accrual, and receive treatment in a higher dose level cohort.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients will be infused with escalating doses of EGFRt/19-28z/4-1BBL CAR T cells to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). There are 4 planned dose levels: 1 x 10\^5, 3 x 10\^5, 1 x 10\^6, and 3 x 10\^6 CAR T cells/kg.

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)
Cohorts of 3-6 patients each will be treated with escalating doses of modified T cell. At least 3 patients will be treated at each dose level with an accrual of no more than 2 patients per month within each dose level. At least two weeks will elapse from the first patient's T cell infusions before the second patient is treated (on dose level 1) to allow for toxicity and safely assessment. All patients treated at the preceding dose level will be observed a minimum of 4 weeks before dose escalation occurs.
Time frame: occurring within 30 days from the last infusion
