NCT ID NCT07234110

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This early study is testing a new treatment called CD5CART for people with relapsed or refractory CD5-positive blood cancers. The treatment involves taking a patient's own immune cells, modifying them in a lab to better recognize and attack cancer cells, and then infusing them back. The main goals are to check the treatment's safety and find the best dose, while also seeing if it can shrink tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

CD5CART (a type of CAR-T cell therapy that targets the CD5 protein on cancer cells)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with certain blood cancers that have not responded to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial (18 people) focused on safety and finding the right dose. It may not work for everyone, and CAR-T therapies can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome.
