Engineered immune cells take on Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT07704515
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an experimental therapy called GKL-006Allo, made from donor immune cells (iNKT cells), in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goals are to check the therapy's safety and how the body processes it. Up to 27 participants will receive the cell infusion at different doses to find the best and safest approach.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an allogeneic invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell therapy called GKL-006Allo
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 27 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The therapy may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
