AbelZeta_CTIL051 (Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer)
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to find out if the combination of 2 experimental drugs called C-TIL051 and NKTR-255 when they are given along with pembrolizumab is a safe and effective option for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). C-TIL051 is custom-made for each participant from their own tumor tissue. Immune cells are isolated from your tumor tissue, regrown in a lab, and then formulated to be returned to your bloodstream. We want to know if C-TIL051 can help people's immune systems target and destroy cancer cells. NKTR-255 is designed to help C-TIL051 work better.
