Engineered immune cells take on Hard-to-Treat KRAS cancers

NCT ID NCT05389514

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests a new approach for people with advanced cancers that have a specific genetic change called KRAS G12V. Patients receive their own immune cells that have been genetically modified to recognize and attack the cancer. They also get chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug to help the cells work. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors in people who have run out of standard options.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
gene-engineered T cells (KRAS G12V-reactive) plus cyclophosphamide, gemcitabine, and pembrolizumab
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced cancers that have a specific KRAS mutation, potentially shrinking tumors and extending life.
What could go wrong
This is an early, small trial with only a few participants. The treatment involves strong chemotherapy and immunotherapy, which can cause serious side effects. It may not work for everyone.
