Engineered immune cells take aim at Hard-to-Treat ovarian cancer
NCT ID NCT07589543
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new treatment called EB-DUALNK for adults with ovarian cancer that has come back or not responded to standard therapies. The treatment uses specially designed natural killer (NK) cells that target two markers on cancer cells. After a short course of chemotherapy, patients receive an infusion of these cells. The study aims to find the safest dose and check if the treatment can shrink tumors.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18-75 years; able to provide written informed consent. * Histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma that is recurrent or refractory after standard therapy (at least 2 prior systemic regimens), with measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 and ECOG performance status 0-1. * Tumor tissue available for antigen assessment. Participant must meet protocol-defined positivity for the selected dual-target pair (example: 1 target expressed in \>=50% of tumor cells by IHC and the second target in \>=20%). * Adequate organ function per protocol-specified labs; negative pregnancy test nd agrees to use effective contraception for a protocol-defined period after infusion. Exclusion Criteria: * Active CNS metastases or carcinomatous meningitis (unless treated and stable for a protocol-defined period). * Prior gene-modified cell therapy targeting any of the study antigens (GD2, MUC1, PSMA, mesothelin) within 6 months. * Uncontrolled active infection (including uncontrolled HIV, HBV, or HCV) or active systemic fungal infection. * Clinically significant cardiovascular disease (e.g., recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, uncontrolled arrhythmia) or LVEF \<50% . * Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppression within 14 days prior to lymphodepletion (physiologic steroid replacement permitted). * History of organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. * Pregnant or breastfeeding. * Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would compromise participant safety or compliance.
