Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug, CYAD-101, given with standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy drugs, to see if it is safe and works well against colorectal cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic colorectal cancer that's not been surgically removed and doesn't respond to standard treatments. Participants must have had FOLFOX chemotherapy, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1), and have tumors measurable by RECIST criteria. They can't join if they've used certain growth factors, had major surgery, uncontrolled illnesses, live vaccines, anticancer agents or radiotherapy recently; or if they've ever received drugs like Pembrolizumab before.
What is being tested?
The study tests CYAD-101 cells given with FOLFOX chemo followed by Pembrolizumab immunotherapy in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. It aims to see how safe this combination is and whether it works against the cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions from the immune system attacking normal organs (like lung inflammation), infusion-related reactions from treatment administration, fatigue, nausea from chemo, nerve damage symptoms remaining from previous treatments but not worsening.
