NCT ID NCT05922930

First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated Apr 20, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing a new type of cell therapy for people with advanced ovarian or pancreatic cancer that has stopped responding to standard platinum-based chemotherapy. Doctors will collect immune cells from donated umbilical cord blood, genetically engineer them to better target cancer, and then infuse them directly into the patient's abdomen. The main goals are to find a safe dose and see if this approach can help control these difficult-to-treat cancers.
