Second shot of smart cells aims to rescue failing hearts

NCT ID NCT07516288

First seen Apr 12, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a second infusion of a patient's own modified immune cells (CAR-DC) can safely improve heart function in people with end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition where the heart is enlarged and weak. The cells target a protein called FAP to calm harmful inflammation. Only 5 adults who previously received one dose but later worsened will be enrolled. The main goal is to check safety and see if a second dose can help the heart pump better.
