New CAR-T therapy targets Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT07181720
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CD70-targeted CAR-T cells in people with advanced solid tumors, including kidney, lung, ovarian, and thyroid cancers. The treatment involves taking a patient's own immune cells, engineering them to recognize and attack cancer cells that have a protein called CD70, and infusing them back into the body. The main goals are to check safety and find the right dose.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CD70-targeted CAR-T cells
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 90 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. CAR-T therapy can cause severe side effects like cytokine release syndrome.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years, regardless of gender; 2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced/metastatic solid tumors (tumors with positive CD70 expression, confirmed histopathological ly with IHC 3+ score); 3. Failed or intolerant to standard second-line treatments (at least one of the following: tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi), anti-angiogenic therapy; disease progression or inability to tolerate surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or targeted therapy); 4. At least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 criteria, with measurable lesions defined as: 1. Extranodal lesions with a long axis ≥10mm on CT scan; 2. Lymph node lesions with a short axis ≥15mm on CT scan; 3. CT slice thickness ≤5mm. 5. ECOG performance status of 0-2 ; 6. Expected survival ≥12 weeks; 7. No history of severe psychiatric disorders; 8. Adequate organ function as defined by the following: 1. Hematology: White blood cell count \>2.0×10⁹/L, neutrophils \>0.8×10⁹/L, lymphocytes \>0.5×10⁹/L, platelets \>50×10⁹/L, hemoglobin \>90g/L; 2. Cardiac: Echocardiogram showing left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%, and ECG with no significant abnormalities; 3. Renal: Serum creatinine ≤2.0×ULN; 4. Hepatic: ALT and AST ≤3.0×ULN (may be relaxed to ≤5.0×ULN in cases with liver tumor infiltration); total bilirubin ≤2.0×ULN (may be relaxed to ≤3.0×ULN in cases with Gilbert's syndrome or liver tumor infiltration); 5. Oxygen saturation ≥92% without supplemental oxygen; 9. Ability to undergo single or venous blood collection, with no contraindications to cellular collection; 10. Female subjects must agree to use reliable contraception (excluding fertility awareness methods) from the time of informed consent until 1 year after CAR-T cell infusion; 11. Subject or authorized guardian agrees to participate in the trial and signs the informed consent form (ICF), indicating understanding of the trial's purpose and procedures and willingness to participate. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior treatment with anti-CD70 therapies; 2. Active/symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastasis or meningeal metastasis: Subjects with treated brain metastases are eligible if treatment was completed ≥4 weeks prior to screening and there is no evidence of progression on imaging; 3. Prior treatments within specified time frames: 1. Participation in other interventional clinical trials within 3 months before cell infusion (for unapproved drugs, the last dose must be ≥3 months prior; for approved drugs, ≥5 half-lives prior to cell infusion); 2. Received chemotherapy or targeted therapy within 2 weeks prior to blood collection or within 5 half-lives of the drug (whichever is shorter); 3. Received \>10mg/day prednisone (or equivalent) within 2 weeks prior to blood collection, unless for adrenal replacement or inhaled/local steroids (except for active autoimmune disease); 4. Received live attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks prior to screening; 4. Active infection requiring systemic treatment or uncontrolled infection within 1 week before screening; 5. History of any other malignancy within the past 3 years, except for treated and stable non-melanoma skin cancer or malignancies treated with curative intent and no evidence of active disease for ≥3 years; 6. Cardiovascular conditions: 1. NYHA Class III or IV heart failure; 2. Myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) within 6 months prior to screening; 3. Clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias or unexplained syncope (excluding vasovagal or dehydration); 4. Severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy; 7. Active or uncontrolled autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic vasculitis, etc.; 8. Positive for HBsAg or HBcAb with elevated HBV DNA in peripheral blood; positive for HCV antibodies with detectable HCV RNA levels; positive for HIV antibodies; positive syphilis test; 9. Toxicity from prior anti-tumor treatments has not resolved to baseline or ≤grade 1, except for alopecia or peripheral neuropathy; 10. History of venous thromboembolism (e.g., pulmonary embolism) requiring ongoing anticoagulation treatment, or meeting one of the following criteria: 1. Severe bleeding (grade 3 or 4) lasting for ≥30 days; 2. Post-thrombotic sequelae (e.g., persistent dyspnea and hypoxia) due to venous thromboembolism; 11. Pregnant or breastfeeding women; 12. Other conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, make the subject unsuitable for participation in the trial.
