About this study

Official title: Phase I, Open-Label Study of Autologous Mutant KRAS-redirected T-cell Receptor Cells (TCR1020-CD8)

This is a Phase I, open-label dose finding study to assess the safety, manufacturing feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of TCR1020-CD8 T cells in patients with KRAS-mutated cancers. Initially, patients with KRAS G12V mutation positive metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma or colorectal cancer will be targeted for participation. Up to 4 total dose levels will be evaluated using a 3+3 dose escalation design.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, open-label dose finding study to assess the safety, manufacturing feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of TCR1020-CD8 T cells in patients with KRAS-mutated cancers.

Initially, patients with KRAS G12V mutation positive metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma or colorectal cancer will be targeted for participation. Up to 4 total dose levels will be evaluated using a 3+3 dose escalation design as described in protocol Section 3.1.

In order to allow for appropriate monitoring/assessment of toxicities, the TCR1020-CD8 T cell infusions will be staggered as follows:

  • The TCR1020-CD8 T cell infusions for the first two subjects treated at each dose level must be staggered by at least 28 days.
  • If there are no emergent safety concerns identified in the first subject treated at each dose level, infusions of the 2ⁿᵈ and 3ʳᵈ subjects at that dose level may occur in parallel.
  • A stagger will occur after every 3ʳᵈ subject is infused to allow for formal DLT assessments to be performed and the dose level assignment for the next subject to be confirmed.
  • In the event 1 DLT is identified at a dose level (e.g., 1 DLT/3 evaluable subjects), formal DLT evaluations must be completed after each additional TCR1020-CD8 T cell infusion to evaluate potential dose de-escalation rules. As such, subsequent TCR1020-CD8 T cell infusions within that same dose level must be staggered by a minimum of 28 days.
  • If emergent safety concerns are identified, an ad hoc DLT evaluation may be triggered at the request of the Safety Review Committee (SRC). The purpose, scope and composition of the SRC is further defined in protocol Section 3.3.

The DLT observation period is 28 days post-TCR1020-CD8 T cell infusion (Day 0). Formal DLT evaluations will be performed after the 3ʳᵈ DLT-evaluable subject at each dose level completes this 28-day DLT monitoring window. These assessments will be performed by the Safety Review Committee (SRC), comprised of the Clinical PI and Sponsor Medical Director, in accordance with the definitions/requirements in protocol Section 8.1.6. The SRC will trigger a decision regarding dose level advancement, expansion, or dose de-escalation. The highest dose at which 0 or 1 DLT occurs in 6 DLT-evaluable subjects will be declared the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Subjects must receive the dose of TCR1020-CD8 T cells as per their dose level assignment in order to be considered DLT-evaluable for dose escalation decisions and MTD determination. Subjects who do not receive the dose of TCR1020-CD8 T cells as per their dose level assignment will not be considered DLT-evaluable for this purpose and will be replaced at that dose level. However, these subjects will still be followed per protocol and included in the overall safety analysis, as wellas the analyses of secondary and exploratory endpoints.

Retreatment Infusions:

The Retreatment Phase will remain closed until sufficient safety data is available in initial subjects, and DSMB and FDA approval to open Retreatment has been received.

Subjects who have demonstrated clinical benefit after their initial TCR1020-CD8 T cell infusion(e.g., minimum disease response of stable disease, etc.) may also be eligible to receiveretreatment with TCR1020-CD8 cells at the physician-investigator's discretion. The TCR1020-CD8retreatment dose administered must either be a). the T cell dose that the subject previouslyreceived without DLTs, or b). a T cell dose that is less than or equal to a dose level that has beenevaluated for safety in ≥ 3 other subjects without evidence of DLTs. As retreatment infusions willnot be used for formal DLT assessments/MTD determination, there are no protocol-definedstaggering requirements.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TCR1020-CD8 T cellsDrug

    TCR1020-CD8 T cells are autologous mKRAS-redirected CD8+ T cells engineered using a lentiviral vector to express a TCR with specificity for HLA-restricted mKRAS G12V epitopes restricted to the HLA-A*11:01 molecule.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TCR1020-CD8 T cells in people with Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma and Colorectal Cancer, run by University of Pennsylvania.

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 23 inclusion and 9 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Number of Subjects with dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: 28 days after TCR1020-CD8 T cells). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Jun 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
