Engineered immune cells take on advanced kidney cancer in new trial
NCT ID NCT06245915
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests a new treatment called AB-2100 for people with advanced or metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma that has come back after standard treatments. AB-2100 is made from the patient's own immune cells, which are modified in the lab to better recognize and attack cancer cells. The study aims to see if this therapy is safe and whether it can shrink tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AB-2100 (a type of modified immune cell therapy called Integrated Circuit T cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced kidney cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 37 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy may cause serious side effects or fail to shrink tumors.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Advanced or metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma * Must have received an immune checkpoint inhibitor and a VEGF-targeted therapy in the advanced or metastatic setting. Must have evidence of progression on or after the last treatment regimen or discontinued treatment for unacceptable toxicity. * Adequate organ function as per protocol definitions. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score 0 or 1. * Measurable disease at time of enrollment as per protocol definitions. * Female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects must agree to use acceptable method(s) of contraception from enrollment through at least 12 months after AB-2100 infusion. Exclusion Criteria: * Any prior systemic RCC therapy within 14 days of time of cell collection (interval of 28 days will be required if the last immediate treatment contained an antibody-based agent). * Systemic anti-cancer therapy within 14 days of starting of conditioning chemotherapy (interval of 28 days will be required if the last immediate treatment contained an antibody-based agent) * Investigational cellular therapies within 8 weeks prior to start of conditioning chemotherapy * Prior treatment with anti-CA9 therapies * Myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months prior to screening * Pleural effusion that requires drainage for symptom management within 28 days of screening. * Active autoimmune disease requiring immunosuppressive therapy or uncontrolled with treatment. * Untreated brain metastasis. * Subjects unwilling to participate in an extended safety monitoring period.
