New CAR t cell therapy takes on Hard-to-Treat ovarian cancer
NCT ID NCT06305299
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing a new treatment for ovarian cancer that has returned after standard therapy. The treatment uses a patient's own immune cells, which are modified in a lab to recognize and attack cancer cells. The main goal is to find a safe dose and see what side effects occur.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cells (a type of immune cell therapy)
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could point toward a new treatment option for ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to standard chemotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early phase 1 trial with only 27 participants, so it is primarily testing safety, not effectiveness. There are risks of serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome and nerve toxicity.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Unless otherwise noted, subjects must meet all of the following criteria to participate in all phases of the study: 2. Written informed consent and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization for release of personal health information explained to, understood by and signed by the subject. 3. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent. 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) of 0-2. 5. The subject must have histologically or cytologically confirmed epithelial ovarian, peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer and must have a histological diagnosis of a high-grade serous histology based on local histopathological findings. 6. Subject must have recurrent platinum-resistant or platinum-refractory disease defined as: A disease that has progressed by imagining while receiving platinum OR Disease that has recurred within 6 months of the last receipt of platinum-based chemotherapy. Rising CA-125 only is not considered as platinum-resistant or refractory disease. 7. Having received at least 2 prior regimens (including front-line therapy). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial. 2. The subject is not willing and not able to comply with study procedures based on the judgment of the investigator or protocol designee. 10\. The subject is not willing to undergo a biopsy prior to treatment, after infusion, and at the time of disease progression ), and the tumor is determined to be safe by the treating investigator for biopsy collection.
