New cell therapy trial targets Hard-to-Treat heart amyloidosis

NCT ID NCT07504289

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new treatment for people with a rare disease called light-chain cardiac amyloidosis that has come back or not responded to other treatments. The treatment uses specially engineered immune cells (CAR-NK cells) from donated umbilical cord blood to target and attack the harmful proteins in the heart. The trial will enroll 36 adults aged 18-75 and will check for safety and how well the therapy works over 28 days.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

CAR-NK cells (immune cells engineered to target BCMA and CD19 proteins)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a safer, faster-to-make cell therapy option for patients with this rare and serious heart condition.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 1/2 trial with only 36 participants, so results are preliminary. There are risks of serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome or nerve toxicity.
