New CAR-NK cell therapy takes on colorectal cancer
NCT ID NCT07462650
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new treatment made from donated cord blood cells that are engineered to recognize and attack colorectal cancer cells. It is for people with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The trial will check safety and early signs of effectiveness in 48 adults.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Allogeneic dual-target CAR-NK cells (engineered immune cells from donated cord blood) targeting CEA and/or GUCY2C, with an IL-15 support element and a safety switch
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1/2 trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment involves genetically modified cells, which could cause unexpected side effects or fail to control the cancer.
