Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment to see if it is safe and effective for people with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced pancreatic cancer who've had first-line chemo. They should have stable or progressing disease after treatment, good performance status (able to carry out daily activities), and adequate organ function. Pregnant women can't join, nor those breastfeeding or with certain medical conditions that could affect compliance.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests EGFR-BATs (anti-EGFR-bispecific antibody armed activated T-cells) in patients to determine the safest dose and side effects. Participants must have previously received standard chemotherapy for their condition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune system activation, such as inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions, fatigue, increased risk of infection due to immune response alteration, and possible allergic reactions if sensitive to components like cetuximab.
