Could your own immune cells fight ALS? early trial begins
NCT ID NCT06671236
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing whether a special type of immune cell, called regulatory T cells (Tregs), is safe for people with ALS. The cells are taken from each patient's own blood, multiplied in a lab, and then injected into the spinal fluid. The study will enroll 12 adults with ALS to check for side effects and find a safe dose.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- regulatory T cells (Tregs) made from the patient's own blood
- What this could lead to
- If safe, this could point toward a new way to slow or manage ALS by calming the immune system.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small safety trial with only 12 people. It may not show any benefit, and side effects from the cell injection or the procedure itself are possible.
