Eligibility Criteria

RAS mutations can be in NRAS, KRAS or HRAS as these oncogenes have the same amino acid sequence at the location of the targeted neoepitopes. A variant allele frequency (VAF) of at least 5% is required for a mutation to be eligible. This criterion can be met at any time within 60 days prior to apheresis regardless of treatment history during this 60-day period. DNA for sequencing comes from bone marrow.
