Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include patients with advanced lung tumors or other solid tumors who have a biopsy obtainable and express KK-LC-1 or have identifiable neoantigens.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a history of gene therapy, severe viral infections, or other significant health issues may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This clinical trial focuses on developing TCR-T cell immunotherapy for patients with advanced lung cancer and other solid tumors. It involves obtaining fresh tumor tissue to create organoids and culture tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) or peripheral T cells. The study aims to identify and expand tumor-responsive T cells, which will be genetically engineered to target specific tumor antigens. The safety, tolerance, and preliminary efficacy of this therapy will be assessed through various administration methods, including systemic and local injections.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could provide a novel and effective treatment option for patients with advanced lung cancer and other solid tumors.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with TCR-T cell therapies, indicating potential for success in this novel approach.
