Supercharged immune cells take on kidney cancer in new trial

NCT ID NCT07551349

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a one-time infusion of specially engineered immune cells (CAR-NK cells) that target two proteins, CD70 and CAIX, found on kidney cancer cells. The study includes 36 adults with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma that has worsened after standard treatments. Participants also receive chemotherapy beforehand to help the cells work. The goal is to check safety and see if the treatment shrinks tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
engineered immune cells (CAR-NK cells) targeting CD70 and CAIX, plus chemotherapy (fludarabine) to prepare the body
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for advanced kidney cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply broadly. There are risks from the chemotherapy and the immune cells, including potential liver side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Written informed consent and willingness to comply with protocol procedures. * Age \>= 18 years at the time of consent. * Histologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic clear cell RCC, or RCC with a clear-cell component, with radiographic progression after standard therapy. * Prior exposure to at least one PD-1 / PD-L1-based regimen and at least one VEGF-pathway targeted regimen, or documented intolerance / unsuitability for available standard systemic options. * At least one measurable lesion by RECIST 1.1. * Available archival tumor tissue or willingness to undergo fresh biopsy for central biomarker testing; protocoldefined tumor positivity for CD70 and/or CAIX is required. Dual-positive cases are preferred for the biomarkerexpansion portion. * ECOG performance status 0-1. * Adequate marrow, liver, cardiac, pulmonary, and renal function as defined by the protocol (for example, ANC, platelets, bilirubin, AST/ALT, creatinine clearance, oxygen saturation, and left ventricular function within protocoldefined limits). * Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. * Negative pregnancy test for participants of childbearing potential and agreement to highly effective contraception during protocol-defined risk windows. * Previously treated brain metastases are allowed if clinically stable and off escalating corticosteroids for at least 14 days before lymphodepletion. Exclusion Criteria: * Active, untreated, or symptomatic central nervous system metastases, leptomeningeal disease, or uncontrolled seizure disorder. * Prior gene-modified cellular therapy (including prior CAR-T, CAR-NK, CAR-NKT, or TCR-engineered therapy) within the protocol-defined washout window. * Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant or solid organ transplant with ongoing clinically significant immunosuppression. * Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatment; physiologic replacement doses are permitted. * Active uncontrolled infection, including uncontrolled hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, tuberculosis, or sepsis. * Clinically significant hepatobiliary disease that could increase risk from CAIX-directed therapy, such as active cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, biliary obstruction, Child-Pugh B/C cirrhosis, or prior hepatic venoocclusive disease. * Clinically significant cardiovascular disease (for example, unstable angina, recent myocardial infarction, uncontrolled arrhythmia, or clinically meaningful heart failure). * Systemic corticosteroid use greater than 10 mg prednisone equivalent daily within 7 days before lymphodepletion, unless required as physiologic replacement. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Another active invasive malignancy requiring systemic treatment, except for protocol-defined low-risk exceptions. * Known hypersensitivity to fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, or a critical study-product excipient.
