What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

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.
