About this trial

This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation clinical study to evaluate the safety and anti-tumor efficacy of intratumoral NKG2D CAR-NK cell injection guided by endoscopic ultrasound in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

18~75 years old (including boundary value), both male and female.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma or IPMN carcinogenesis.

Recurrent or unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Patients with technically resectable tumors but are considered as unable to undergo surgical treatment due to medical comorbidities or the patient's refusal of surgery are also eligible for enrollment.

ECOG PS score of 0-1.

Disqualifiers

Pregnant and lactating females.

Received any anti-tumor therapy (including but not limited to radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy) for pancreatic cancer within 28 days prior to enrollment.

In the opinion of the investigator, the EUS technique poses undue risks to the subject, including but not limited to: - Previous EUS-FNA was technically deemed too difficult to perform; - Imaging showing multiple collateral vessels around or near the target tumor within the pancreas; - Presence of varicose veins near the target tumor. - If any of the above risk profiles become apparent after subject screening and/or enrollment, consideration should be given to withdrawal from the study prior to treatment.

History of malignancy within 5 years, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
