NCT ID NCT07380659
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests a new treatment for people in shock after a severe heart attack. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells (CAR-DC) to target a protein found in heart scar tissue, aiming to calm the immune response. The study will enroll 18 patients and primarily check for safety and side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- genetically modified immune cells (CAR-DC) targeting a heart scar protein
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new way to reduce inflammation and improve recovery after a severe heart attack.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small safety trial (18 people). The therapy is new and unproven; it may not help or could cause serious side effects.
