NCT ID NCT04627740

First seen Jan 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This pilot study tested a new type of immune cell therapy called anti-ALPP CAR-T cells in 5 patients with advanced solid tumors that have a specific marker (ALPP). The goal was to see if the treatment is safe and can shrink tumors. Patients first received chemotherapy to prepare their bodies, then the modified immune cells were infused. The study is complete, but results are not yet widely reported.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Anti-ALPP CAR-T cells (a type of immune cell therapy)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for certain advanced solid tumors that express ALPP.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small study with only 5 participants, so results may not apply to larger groups. CAR-T therapy can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome.
