First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new combination treatment for people with colorectal cancer who have minimal residual disease (MRD) — tiny amounts of cancer left after standard therapy. The treatment uses specially engineered natural killer (NK) cells from donated cord blood, designed to target a protein called TROP2 on cancer cells, plus a drug called cetuximab. The main goal is to find the safest dose and check for side effects in about 42 adults.
