Cancer-Fighting T-Cell therapy trial for GI cancers withdrawn before start

NCT ID NCT06690281

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

Summary

This study aimed to test whether a person's own immune cells, modified in a lab to target specific cancer-related mutations (KRAS or TP53), could prevent advanced gastrointestinal cancers from coming back after standard treatment. Participants would have been randomly assigned to receive the cell therapy plus chemotherapy or to receive no treatment. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data were collected.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

modified T-cells (KRAS or TP53-targeting T-cell receptor transduced peripheral blood lymphocytes)

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could help prevent gastrointestinal cancers from returning after standard treatment in people with specific genetic mutations.

What could go wrong

This trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. The therapy involves intensive chemotherapy and hospitalization, with risks of severe side effects from the cell infusion and chemotherapy.
