Engineered immune cells take aim at a common cancer target in Hard-to-Treat tumors
NCT ID NCT07680257
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a new treatment called SUV2208A, which uses a patient's own immune cells (T cells) that have been modified in a lab to recognize and attack cancer cells carrying a protein called CLDN18.2. The trial enrolls up to 18 adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. Researchers are primarily looking at safety and the right dose, while also checking how long the cells last in the body and whether they have any effect on the tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SUV2208A (CLDN18.2-targeted CAR T cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that express CLDN18.2 and have not responded to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study (18 people) focused on safety and dosing. CAR T cell therapies can cause serious side effects, and it is unknown if this approach will shrink tumors or improve survival.

Inclusion Criteria: * Willing to sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF) and comply with predefined visits and related procedures; * Age 18 to 75, male or female; * Cytology or histology confirmed advanced malignant solid tumors, with moderate to high expression of CLDN18.2; * Locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that are failed of, or refractory to, or contraindicated for standard of care; * ECOG PS 0-1; * The life expectency ≥ 3 months; * Has sufficient organ and bone marrow function. Exclusion Criteria: * Have active central nervous system metastases or infiltration; * Has previously received a bone marrow or organ transplant (including, but not limited to, a liver transplant) or is awaiting a transplant; * History of or concurrent other malignancies (cured cervical carcinoma in situ with no recurrence within at least 2 years prior to screening, non-invasive basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, locally advanced prostate cancer treated with radical surgery, or post-radical surgery ductal carcinoma in situ may be eligible for the study). * Infectious disease; * Adverse events caused by prior anti-tumor therapy that have not resolved to grade 1 or baseline, except for alopecia, grade 2 peripheral neuropathy, and stable hypothyroidism with hormone replacement therapy; * Have received live attenuated vaccine within one month before screening, or plan to receive live attenuated vaccine during the study; * Have major surgery (except liver space-occupying biopsy) within one month before screening, or have planned major surgery during the study.
