Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) with histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic unresectable solid tumors harboring a KRAS/HRAS/NRAS G12D mutation and positive HLA-A*11:01, measurable disease, good performance status, and prior progression after standard therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose tumors do not express the target mutation or who cannot tolerate the treatment may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1 interventional trial evaluating the safety of MSK-TCR5 in adults with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors that harbor KRAS, HRAS, or NRAS G12D mutations. Eligible participants must have measurable disease, an ECOG score of 0 or 1, and have progressed after at least one standard therapy or have no curative options remaining. The study involves selecting patients who meet genetic and performance criteria, followed by administration of MSK-TCR5 and safety monitoring. Primary goals focus on safety and tolerability, with exploratory assessments of preliminary signals of clinical activity. The trial is conducted at Memorial Sloan Kettering sites in New Jersey with limited protocol activities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience disease stabilization or clinical benefit from MSK-TCR5, though benefits are not guaranteed in this early phase.
How similar studies have gone: Prior immune-cell therapies in similar genetic contexts have shown safety and early activity signals in early-phase trials, but this exact approach is novel for this mutation-HLA combination.

Inclusion Criteria: Part A: Prior to cell collection all of the following inclusion criteria must be met: * Age ≥18 years. * Histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic, unresectable solid tumor * Positive for RAS G12D mutation and HLA-A\*11:01 allele * Subject has advanced solid cancer, defined as unresectable, advanced, and/or metastatic disease after at least 1 line of systemic standard of care (SOC) treatment regimen and for which there are no available curative treatment options. Subjects with stable disease (SD), or that present lack of clinical benefit from previous therapy (including treatment suspension due to toxicity) may be considered eligible for enrollment. : Part B: Prior to treatment with MSK-TCR5 all of the following inclusion criteria must be met: * Measurable disease per RECIST version 1.1. Note: a previously irradiated or locoregionally treated lesion can be considered a target lesion if it progressed post-treatment. * ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 * Adequate organ and bone marrow function based on the following laboratory values: 1. ANC ≥1000/mm3 without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support (filgrastim within 7 days or peg-filgrastim within 14 days of screening) 2. Platelets ≥75,000/mm3 without transfusion within the preceding 7 days of screening. 3. Hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dL (≥80 g/L); blood transfusion permitted within 7 days of screening. 4. AST, ALT, and ALP ≤ 3x ULN, or ≤ 5x ULN if liver or bone metastases present. 5. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x ULN or ≤ 3x ULN in the presence of documented Gilbert's Syndrome 6. CrCl ≥50 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gualt equation Exclusion Criteria: Part A: Participant Exclusion Criteria prior to cell collection * Previous allogeneic stem cell transplantation or prior organ transplantation * History of primary immunodeficiency, autoimmune, or inflammatory disease including inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, myasthenia gravis, or Grave's disease that in the past year has required systemic treatment with corticosteroids \> 10mg/day of prednisone or equivalent doses of other corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs. Note: Replacement therapy (e.g. thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal/pituitary insufficiency is not considered a form of systemic treatment and allowed) * Primary brain tumor * Untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastatic disease, leptomeningeal disease, or cord compression. Patients previously treated for CNS metastases that are radiographically and neurologically stable and off steroids for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment are eligible. * Surgery or catheter-based interventions such as transarterial chemoembolization or percutaneous coronary intervention within 2 weeks. * Uncontrolled significant intercurrent or recent illness including, but not limited to the following conditions: a. Significant cardiovascular abnormalities as defined by any one of the following: uncontrolled congestive heart failure or hypertension, clinically significant hypotension, symptomatic coronary artery disease, or a documented ejection fraction (EF) of \< 50% as assessed by echocardiogram or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA). * Uncontrolled active bacterial, viral, fungal, or mycobacterial infection not responding to antibiotics, antimycotics, or antifungal agents, as well as long-term oral treatment with any of these agents. * Subject has had radiotherapy or systemic anti-cancer therapy within at least 2 weeks or 3 half-lives, whichever is shorter. * Pregnant or lactating women; women of childbearing age, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using effective methods of contraception while receiving study treatment and for at least 12 months after all treatment is finished. Sexually active males, unless they are willing to use a condom during intercourse while receiving study treatment and for at least 12 months after all treatment is finished. * Previously identified allergy, hypersensitivity, or known contraindication to cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, or any other agent associated with LDC or MSK-TCR5. * Positive serologic test results for HIV. * Acute or chronic HBV infection as assessed by serologic (HBVsAg) or PCR results, defined as HBVsAg+, HBVcAb+, HBV PCR+. * Acute or chronic HCV infection as assessed by serologic (HCV ab) or PCR results, defined as HCV Ab+ with reflex to positive HCV PCR * Patient/parent/LAR unable to give informed consent Part B: Participant Exclusion Criteria prior to MSK-TCR5 infusion * Any exclusion criterion listed in Part A.
