Engineered immune cells take on tough T-Cell cancers

NCT ID NCT07300683

First seen Dec 29, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing a new type of immunotherapy called CAR T cells, made from a patient's own blood cells, to treat T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma that has relapsed or not responded to standard treatments. The CAR T cells are designed to target a protein called CCR9 found on the cancer cells. The main goals are to see if the treatment can be made safely and to find the right dose, with 24 children and adults participating.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Anti-CCR9 CAR T cells (made from the patient's own blood cells)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with T-cell leukemia or lymphoma that has come back or not responded to standard therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 24 people, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. The treatment may not work, and there are risks of serious side effects from the chemotherapy and the CAR T cells themselves.
