CAR-NK Cells for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CAR-NK cells (CL-NK-001) for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific marker (eGR1). The goal is to see if these specially grown natural killer cells can attack the cancer after standard treatments have stopped working.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 70 years old.
- Your pancreatic cancer is advanced (spread to nearby tissues or other organs), has come back, and has a specific marker called eGR1 that is strongly positive on at least 40% of cancer cells.
- You have tried standard treatments and they no longer work, you cannot tolerate them, or you choose not to take them.
- You have at least one tumor that can be measured on a scan.
- You have not had any cancer treatment in the last 4 weeks.
- Your general health is good enough for daily activities (ECOG 0-2) and your doctor expects you to live more than 3 months.
- Your blood counts and organ function (kidney, liver) are within safe ranges.
- You do not have active infections, serious heart or lung disease, autoimmune disease, or a history of other cell therapy.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you agree to use effective birth control if needed.

This trial tests a new treatment using immune cells (CAR-NK cells) to fight pancreatic cancer that has spread or come back. It may be an option if standard treatments have stopped working, were not tolerated, or were refused.
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (CAR-T) that targets two markers on pancreatic cancer cells. It's for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have already tried standard chemotherapy.
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy called KD-496, which is a CAR T-cell designed to attack tumors that have NKG2DL or CLDN18.2 markers. It may be an option for people with advanced solid tumors (commonly stomach or pancreatic cancer) who have tried at least two prior treatments.
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy called iNKT cells for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The cells are from a healthy donor and may help your immune system fight the cancer.
This trial tests a new treatment where CAR-NK cells are injected directly into the pancreatic tumor using an endoscope. It is designed for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has come back or cannot be removed by surgery.
This trial tests a new therapy using your own immune cells (NK cells) that are specially trained to find and attack cancer cells. It is for people with pancreatic cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.
