Experimental immune cell combo targets Drug-Resistant lung cancer

NCT ID NCT07330050

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase II trial is testing whether a new immune cell treatment called WAST cells, combined with the chemotherapy drug docetaxel, can shrink tumors or slow disease in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to PD-1 inhibitors. The study plans to enroll 31 participants and will measure how many patients respond to the treatment, as well as how long they live without the cancer getting worse. The goal is to find a new option for patients who have run out of effective therapies.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

WAST cells (a type of immune cell) and docetaxel (chemotherapy)

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard immunotherapy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 31 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment involves chemotherapy, which has known side effects like fatigue and infection risk.
