Engineered immune cells take aim at multiple cancers in early trial

NCT ID NCT03132922

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase study tests a personalized cell therapy for people with certain cancers (bladder, melanoma, head/neck, ovarian, lung, esophageal, stomach, or sarcoma) whose tumors have a specific marker called MAGE-A4. The treatment involves taking a patient's own immune cells, engineering them to better recognize and attack the cancer, and infusing them back. The main goals are to check safety and see if the therapy shrinks tumors.
