Study Overview

CAR-NK Cells (CL-NK-001) in Pancreatic Cancer

This is a single-center, open-label, first-in-human, dose-escalation study in patients with pancreatic cancer.

A dose-escalation study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of CAR-NK cells (CL-NK-001) in patients with locally advanced, metastatic, or recurrent pancreatic cancer.
