Experimental immune therapy aims to reduce deaths in severe pneumonia

NCT ID NCT07615010

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether a single dose of an experimental immune cell therapy called agenT-797, given alongside standard care, can lower the risk of death in adults with severe pneumonia and breathing failure. About 90 people in intensive care will receive either agenT-797 or a placebo, plus usual treatments like antibiotics and steroids. The main goal is to see if more people survive with the added therapy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

agenT-797 (an experimental immune cell therapy given as a single intravenous infusion)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment to reduce deaths from severe pneumonia with respiratory failure.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early Phase 2 trial with only 90 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment is experimental and may not improve survival or could cause side effects.
