Experimental CAR t therapy targets two cancers at once
NCT ID NCT04162353
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new type of immune cell therapy called BCMA-CD19 cCAR T cells in 12 patients with multiple myeloma or plasmacytoid lymphoma that has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses a patient's own modified immune cells to attack cancer cells. The main goal is to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BCMA-CD19 cCAR T cells
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could point toward a new treatment option for patients with multiple myeloma or plasmacytoid lymphoma who have run out of standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 12 participants, so it is primarily checking safety, not effectiveness. The treatment may cause serious side effects or not work at all.
