KRAS G12V cancer patients get TCR1188-ABC cell therapy

Official title: Phase I, Open-Label Study of Autologous Mutant KRAS and ILT4-Redirected T-cell Receptor Cells (TCR1188-ABC)

Run by University of Pennsylvania · NCT07594067 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This early-phase trial tests whether TCR1188-ABC cells can safely be given to adults with KRAS G12V-mutated metastatic cancers to see if it can help some types of pancreatic, biliary, colorectal, or lung cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with metastatic pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, or NSCLC that harbor KRAS G12V and HLA-A*11:01, who have received prior standard therapies.

Probably not a fit

Patients without KRAS G12V or HLA-A*11:01, or those who do not meet eligibility criteria or cannot tolerate lymphodepleting chemotherapy, may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study to establish safety and manufacturing feasibility of TCR1188-ABC cells in patients with KRAS G12V-mutated cancers. The study uses a 3+3 design to evaluate up to four dose levels, with a lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen (fludarabine and cyclophosphamide) and tocilizumab support. Participants must have specific histologically confirmed metastatic cancers and be positive for HLA-A*11:01 and KRAS G12V, with priorlines of therapy as defined by cancer type. Primary goals are safety, preliminary efficacy, and manufacturing feasibility of the cell product.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience disease stabilization or tumor response and gain access to a novel cell therapy approach.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies of similar TCR-based therapies have shown signals in KRAS-mutated cancers, but this exact approach with TCR1188-ABC is exploratory and novel.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients ≥ 18 years of age
2. Patients with one of the following diagnoses:

   1. Histologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma or cholangiocarcinoma
   2. Histologically confirmed metastatic colorectal cancer
   3. Histologically confirmed metastatic non-small cell lung cancer
3. HLA-A\*11:01 positive as confirmed by a CLIA certified laboratory.
4. KRAS G12V mutation positive disease as confirmed on tissue, blood, or plasma by next generation sequencing by a CLIA certified laboratory.
5. Received prior treatment for their primary malignancy as follows:

   1. Pancreatic Cancer/Cholangiocarcinoma Patients: At least one prior line of standard of care therapy for advanced stage disease. For pancreatic cancer patients, this must include a gemcitabine or fluorouracil (5 FU)-based regimen.
   2. Colorectal Cancer Patients: At least three prior lines of standard of care therapy for advanced stage disease. Prior treatment must include all of the following unless the patient was ineligible for a specific therapy type: i). a fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy regimen, ii). an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agent, and iii). regorafenib, trifluridine-tipiracil, or fruquintinib. Patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) disease must also have received, or be ineligible for, prior treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
   3. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients: At least one prior line of standard of care therapy for advanced stage disease.
6. Evidence of radiographically detectable disease within 8 weeks of physician-investigator confirmation of eligibility.
7. Adequate organ function within 4 weeks of eligibility confirmation by a physician-investigator defined as:

   1. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dl or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 cc/min per the Cockcroft-Gault Equation; Patient must not be on dialysis.
   2. ALT/AST ≤ 5 x ULN (patients with liver metastases) or ALT/AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN (patients without liver metastases)
   3. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL x ULN, unless the subject has Gilbert's syndrome (if so, direct bilirubin must be ≤ 2.0 mg/dL x ULN)
   4. Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% confirmed by ECHO/MUGA
   5. Must have a minimum level of pulmonary reserve defined as ≤ Grade 1 dyspnea and pulse oxygen \> 92% on room air
8. Patients must have adequate hematologic reserve within 4 weeks of eligibility confirmation by a physician-investigator and must not be dependent on transfusions to maintain these hematologic parameters. Adequate hematologic reserve is defined as:

   1. Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL
   2. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1000/μL
   3. Platelet count ≥ 100,000/μL
9. ECOG Performance Status that is either 0 or 1.
10. Signed, written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection
2. Patients with a severe acquired or inherited immunodeficiency, including HIV positive patients with a CD4 count ≤ 350 cells/μL. In order to qualify, HIV positive patients must also be on an established antiretroviral therapy regimen with a viral load of \<400 copies/mL.
3. Any other active, uncontrolled infection.
4. Class III/IV cardiovascular disability according to the New York Heart Association Classification (see Appendix 5).
5. Severe, active co-morbidity that in the opinion of the physician-investigator would preclude participation in the study.
6. Active invasive cancer, other than the proposed cancer included in the study, within 2 years prior to eligibility confirmation by a physician-investigator. \[Note: non-invasive cancers treated with curative intent (e.g., non-melanoma skin cancer) may still be eligible\].
7. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) patients. Participants of reproductive potential must agree to use acceptable birth control methods, as described in protocol Section 4.3.
8. Patients requiring chronic treatment with systemic steroids or immunosuppressant medications. Low-dose physiologic replacement therapy with corticosteroids equivalent to prednisone 10 mg/day or lower, topical steroids and inhaled steroids are acceptable. For additional details regarding use of steroid and immunosuppressant medications, please see Section 5.6.
9. Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatment equivalent to ≥ 10mg daily of prednisone. Patients with autoimmune neurologic diseases (such as MS) will be excluded.
10. Patients with unstable angina, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, and/or myocardial infarction within 6 months of physician-investigator confirmation of eligibility.
11. Prior history of myocarditis.
12. Patients with pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease requiring steroid treatment.
13. Patients with active/untreated brain metastases. \[Note: History of treated metastases may still be eligible.\]
