NCT ID NCT05394714

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new treatment called Magicell-NK for people with stage I or IIa colon cancer who have already had surgery to remove the tumor. The treatment uses a patient's own natural killer (NK) cells, which are grown and activated in a lab and then infused back into the body. The main goal is to check safety and find the best dose, with 18 participants receiving one of three dose levels.
