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.
