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.
