Brief summary

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

Detailed description

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.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALCL-NK-001

Dose level 1 (5 × 10\^8 cells); dose level 2 (15 × 10\^8 cells); dose level 3 (30 × 10\^8 cells); additional dose levels (investigator's discretion).
