Engineered immune cells take aim at stubborn lymphoma

NCT ID NCT07162012

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether a personalized immune cell therapy called anti-EBV TCR-T cells is safe for people with relapsed or refractory EBV-positive lymphoma who have a specific genetic marker (HLA-A11:01). The treatment involves taking a patient's own T cells, engineering them to recognize and attack EBV-infected cancer cells, and infusing them back. The study will enroll 24 participants to find the safest dose and watch for early signs of benefit.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Anti-EBV autologous TCR-T cells (a type of immune cell therapy)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for patients with hard-to-treat EBV-positive lymphomas.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial (24 people) focused on safety and dosing. The treatment may not work or could cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome.
