Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) [Cycle 1 (Up to 21 days)]
The following toxicities graded for severity using NCI Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 4.0 will be considered a DLT if judged by the investigator to be possibly related to study investigational products: 1) Grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity (ie. not a laboratory finding). 2) Grade 4 hematologic toxicity lasting ≥ 7 days, except thrombocytopenia: 3) Grade 4 thrombocytopenia of any duration 4) Grade 3 thrombocytopenia associated with clinically significant bleeding 5) Any nonhematologic AE ≥ Grade 3 in severity, with some exceptions 6) Any Grade 3 or Grade 4 nonhematologic laboratory value that meets one of the study criteria 7) Febrile neutropenia Grade 3 or Grade 4 8) Prolonged delay (> 2 weeks) in initiating Cycle 2 due to treatment-related toxicity. 9) Any treatment-related toxicity that causes the participant to discontinue treatment during Cycle 1. 10) Grade 5 toxicity 11) Any other clinically significant toxicity judged to be a DLT by the investigator.
- Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE) [Up to approximately 25 months]
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study. The number of participants who experienced an AE will be reported.
- Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AE [Up to approximately 24 months]
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study. The number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE will be reported.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [Up to approximately 24 months]
ORR is assessed by the investigator based on Response Rate Assessed by Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) and RECIST for immune-based therapeutics (iRECIST) following administration of V941 in combination with pembrolizumab. Objective response is a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).
- Mutant KRAS Specific T cells [Up to approximately 24 months]
Presence of and changes in the quantity of mutant KRAS specific T cells in the blood.
Other Outcome Measures
- T-cell receptor (TCR) [Up to approximately 24 months]
T-cell receptor (TCR) clonality and diversity in the periphery and tumor.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Part 2 Only
- Has a histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), non-mismatch repair deficient/microsatellite instability-high tumors colorectal cancers (non-MSI-H CRC), or pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and confirmed HLA types HLA-A11:01 and/or HLA C08:02 (and/or potentially other additional HLA types to be specified).
NSCLC: Participants must have been tested for mutations affecting EGFR and/or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Participants with ALK or epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-positive NSCLC must have had recurrent or progressive disease (PD) after treatment with the corresponding inhibitor and current standard of care, in any sequence.
Non-MSI-H CRC: Participant tumors must have been locally tested for MSI and have been found to be non-MSI-H.
All
-
Has a histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic KRAS 4MUT+ (G12D, G12V, G13D or G12C) (4 prevalent KRAS mutant antigens in solid tumors) solid tumor identified by local laboratory testing, and who have received, or been intolerant to, or ineligible for all treatment known to confer clinical benefit.
-
A male participant must agree to use study-approved contraception during the treatment period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study intervention and refrain from donating sperm during this period.
-

-
Have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the local site investigator/radiology. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
-
For Part 1 only: Cutaneous lesions can be considered in addition to imaging, but measurable disease should be defined by radiologic assessment.

-
Has an active infection requiring therapy.

-

Surgeries that required general anesthesia must be completed at least 2 weeks before first study treatment administration. Surgery requiring regional/epidural anesthesia must be completed at least 72 hours before first study treatment administration and participants should be recovered.
-
Has had chemotherapy, definitive radiation, or biological cancer therapy within 4 weeks (2 weeks for palliative radiation) prior to the first dose of study therapy, non-cytotoxic small molecule therapeutics within 5 half-lives (or 2 weeks, whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study treatment, or has not recovered to Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 1 or better from any adverse events that were due to cancer therapeutics administered more than 4 weeks earlier (this includes participants with previous immunomodulatory therapy with residual immune-related adverse events).

-
Discontinued from therapy with an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1), anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (TCR; eg, cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), CD137 (4-1BB, Tumor necrosis factor-receptor superfamily 9 [TNFSF9]), and OX 40 (TNFRSF4), due to a Grade 3 or higher immune-related adverse event (irAE).
