Summary

This study tests a new treatment for people with advanced cancers of the digestive tract, breast, ovary, or other organs. Doctors take immune cells from a patient's tumor, grow them in a lab, and give them back along with a drug called pembrolizumab. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and how safe it is. About 332 adults aged 18-72 who have not responded to standard treatments will take part.
