Study Summary

This trial will study the safety and activity of a new treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The treatment involves taking T cells from the patient, modifying them to recognize and attack cancer cells, and then giving them back to the patient intravenously.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced NSCLC related to smoking, who are medically fit for the treatment procedures and have a life expectancy of at least 6 months. They must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, have untreated brain metastases, major organ dysfunction, certain viral infections (like hepatitis B/C or HIV), history of severe immune reactions or other cancers in the past 3 years. Contraception is required.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing ATL001 (clonal neoantigen reactive T cells) combined with Pembrolizumab in patients with advanced NSCLC. It's an early-phase study assessing safety and how well these treatments work when given intravenously.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical immune therapy-related issues such as inflammation in various organs, infusion reactions like fever or chills, fatigue, possible worsening of underlying diseases due to immune system activation.
