First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This early-phase study tested a new treatment called CAR-DC in 8 adults with end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition where the heart becomes enlarged and weak. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target a protein (FAP) found in scar tissue, aiming to reduce inflammation and improve heart function. The main goal was to check safety and side effects, not to cure the disease.
