NCT ID NCT04995003

First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether giving specially engineered immune cells (HER2-CAR T cells) together with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) is safe and can help people with advanced sarcoma. About 25 participants will receive chemotherapy to prepare their bodies, then the CAR T cells, followed by the checkpoint drug. Researchers will also study stool bacteria to see if they affect treatment response.
