Inclusion criteria
. Participants must be 18 years or older.
. Participants must be willing and able to provide informed consent.
. Willing and able to comply with clinical trial instructions and requirements. Individuals lacking the ability, based on reasonable medical judgment, to understand and appreciate the nature and consequences of participation in this study will not be eligible for participation.
. In both the dose escalation and dose expansion cohorts, participants must have documented colorectal cancer (CRC) with MRD following complete disease resection followed by standard-of-care adjuvant treatment. MRD is defined as NO evidence of radiological disease (including patients with undefinable lesion with max diameter \<1 cm or with a short axis \< 1cm for lymph nodes) and presence of circulating ctDNA in the bloodstream.
. Participants must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 (Appendix 3).
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Safety and adverse events (AEs)
Timeframe: Through study completion; an average of 1 year.
. A female patient is eligible to participate if at least one of the following conditions applies:
. Female participants who become pregnant or suspect pregnancy must immediately notify their doctor. Females' participants who become pregnant will be taken off study.
Exclusion criteria
. Participants with known active disease by RECIST v1.1.
. Pregnant, breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive within the projected duration of the study, starting with the screening visit through 6 months post TROP2-CAR-NK cell infusion.
. Has received systemic anticancer therapy within 2 weeks or 3 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to the start of lymphodepleting chemotherapy. For patients treated with monoclonal antibodies, at least 3 weeks must have elapsed prior to the start of lymphodepleting chemotherapy. Participants who have entered the follow-up phase of an investigational study may participate as long as it has been 3 weeks after the last dose of the previous investigational agent.
. Participants must have recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies to . Grade 1 or baseline. Participants with ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy, alopecia, or other non-relevant AEs may be deemed eligible at the discretion of the principal investigator (PI). If a participants received major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to the start of lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
. Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of the start of lymphodepleting chemotherapy. Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis or colitis.
. Has received a live vaccine within 6 weeks prior to TROP2-CAR-NK infusion and for at least 24 months post infusion. Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster (chicken pox), yellow fever, rabies, Bacillus Calmette. Guerin, and typhoid vaccine. Seasonal influenza and COVID-19 vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., FluMistR) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed.
. Prior genetically modified T or NK cell therapy.
. Has diagnosis of immunodeficiency or receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in doses exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent).
