This intermediate-size IND will treat participants with incurable, advanced or metastatic cancer, harboring KRAS G12V mutation and appropriate HLA class II match (HLA-DRB1\*07:01).
This study will treat two identified patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma and metastatic pancreatic cancer who have both been treated with standard of care therapies and found to have disease progression. Both of these patients have KRAS G12V mutations in their cancers and express the HLA-DRB1\*07:01 HLA class II molecule. As such, they are candidates for adoptive cell therapy with autologous gene-engineered T cells expressing HLA-DRB1\*07:01-restricted KRAS G12V reactive T-cell receptors (TCR). Adoptive T-cell therapy is a type of immunotherapy which involves isolation of T cells from a patient, followed by an amplification of those T cells in the lab to large numbers, and reinfusion of the T cells back to the patient. In addition to the two identified patients, the protocol will remain open for additional participants with incurable, advanced or metastatic cancer, harboring KRAS G12V mutation, and appropriate HLA class II match (DRB1\*07:01).

Patient's T cells will be administered at a dose of between 1 x 10\^9 to 5.0 x 10\^10 TCR-transduced lymphocytes, which is a dose of genetically modified T cells that can be safely administered and is capable of mediating tumor regression in some patients with metastatic cancers. The cells are to be infused intravenously over approximately 30 minutes via non-filtered tubing, gently agitating the bag during infusion to prevent cell clumping.
