Engineered immune cells take on stubborn blood disorder

NCT ID NCT07416032

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

Summary

This early-phase trial will test a new type of CAR T-cell therapy, called QT-019C, in 27 adults with refractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition where the immune system destroys platelets, causing bleeding. The therapy uses donor-derived immune cells engineered to target two proteins (CD19 and BCMA) on the cells driving the disease. The main goals are to check safety and see if it can raise platelet counts.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Universal allogeneic CAR T-cells targeting CD19 and BCMA (QT-019C)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for patients with hard-to-treat immune thrombocytopenia, potentially reducing bleeding risk.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial (27 people) focused on safety. The therapy may not work, and side effects like cytokine release syndrome or neurological issues are possible.
