NCT ID NCT07333677

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

Summary

This early-phase trial tests HN2301, a new type of CAR-T therapy given directly into the blood, for people with refractory Graves' disease—a thyroid condition that doesn't respond well to standard treatments. The therapy reprograms the body's own immune cells to target and calm the overactive immune response. Five participants will receive several doses and be monitored for safety and signs of remission over 12 months.
