About this study

Official title: A Prospective, One Arm Clinical Study on the Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of KRAS Mutant Antigen Specific TCR-T Cells in the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors.

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of KRAS mutant antigen specific TCR-T cells in the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors.

The secondary aim is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of TCR-T cell therapy in patients with advanced solid tumors and the survival of TCR-T cells.

The investigators will evaluate the changes of tumor microenvironment after treatment of advanced solid tumors with KRAS mutant antigen specific TCR-T cells; Evaluating the correlation between cytokines and the occurrence of CRS and neurotoxicity

Read the detailed description

1.This study is a prospective and single arm clinical study. In this trial, 18 patients with advanced solid tumors with KRAS G12V or G12D mutations and matching HLA-A subtypes are recruited for autologous Tumor-T Cell Receptor (TCR) -Mediated T Cells therapy(TCR-T) therapy.Within 3 - 5 days after pretreatment, subjects will receive a single TCR-T infusion with an infusion dose of about 1 × 10⁹~1 × 10¹⁰. Once every 12 hours within 24 hours after TCR-T cell infusion, recombinant human interleukin-2 will be injected intravenously for 5 days .

After 3 months of treatment, the patient's condition was evaluated. If the subject did not occur tumor progression and did not occur adverse events (AEs) of level 3 or higher, a second TCR-T cell reinfusion can be performed based on researcher's judgment (informed consent form needs to be signed again).

The study will evaluate the safety of TCR-T treatment by observing adverse events after cell therapy; evaluate the effectiveness of TCR-T compared to the results or historical data of the subject's own previous standard treatment regimen;and collect blood before and after cell infusion, measure the number and activity of TCR-T cells, and evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of TCR-T.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. objective response rate(ORR)

    The objective response rate is calculated based on the patient population with measurable lesions at baseline, with efficacy determined by comparing tumor burden before and after treatment. According to RECIST 1.1 criteria,Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions with no new lesions. Partial Response (PR): ≥30% reduction in the sum of diameters of target lesions. Progressive Disease (PD): ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions or appearance of new lesions. Stable Disease (SD): Changes not meeting any of the above thresholds.

    Measured: At 12months after the TCR-T cell infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing TCR-T therapy in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: In light of the impending acquisition of the project partner, Shanghai Bintie Biotechnology Co., Ltd., the company has resolved to close all IT centers and discontinue the clinical research project.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

objective response rate(ORR) (time frame: At 12months after the TCR-T cell infusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05438667, which also lists 8 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Sep 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
