Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment involving TCR-T cells. Participants will receive infusions of the cells, as well as aldesleukin, and doctors will monitor for safety and effectiveness.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with metastatic gastric, breast, cervical, or lung cancer that tests positive for KK-LC-1. They must have tried standard treatments without success and be in good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1). Participants need functioning organs/marrow and no active infections like HIV or hepatitis. Pregnant women can't join, and those who can bear children must use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and maximum dose of KK-LC-1 TCR-T cells combined with aldesleukin in treating certain cancers. It's a phase I study to see how patients tolerate this treatment and what their clinical response will be after receiving a conditioning regimen followed by the therapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include reactions related to immune cell infusion such as fever, fatigue, chills; organ inflammation due to immune response; issues from high-dose aldesleukin including low blood pressure, fluid buildup; plus general risks associated with cancer immunotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has the FDA sanctioned KK-LC-1 TCR-T cells for clinical usage?

"As this is an initial phase 1 trial, the KK-LC-1 TCR-T cells are deemed to have a safety score of 1 due to the limited amount of clinical data supporting its efficacy and security."

Answered by AI

Is there still capacity available for participants in this medical trial?

"Evidenced by the most recent update (dated September 26th 2022) on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical trial is seeking participants who meet its criteria. It was first posted to the site on that same date."

Answered by AI

What is the enrollment maximum for this experiment?

"Yes, the evidence on clinicaltrials.gov affirms that this medical study is actively searching for participants. It was first uploaded on September 26th 2022 and updated recently with a goal of recruiting 42 patients from one site."
