New cell therapy targets common cancer mutation in early trial

NCT ID NCT07594067

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new type of cell therapy called TCR1188-ABC for people with certain advanced cancers (pancreatic, colorectal, lung, or bile duct) that have a specific KRAS G12V mutation. The treatment involves taking a patient's own immune cells, engineering them to better recognize and attack cancer cells, and infusing them back. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see if the cells can be made successfully.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
TCR1188-ABC cells (engineered immune cells) plus chemotherapy (fludarabine and cyclophosphamide)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for several hard-to-treat cancers with a specific KRAS mutation.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 30 participants, focused on safety and dosing. It is too soon to know if it will work, and there are risks of serious side effects from the cell therapy and chemotherapy.
