Experimental virus and CAR t combo takes on Hard-to-Treat GI cancers
NCT ID NCT07544589
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new treatment called DISP-10 for people with advanced gastrointestinal cancers, including colorectal and stomach cancers. The treatment combines a virus (DV-10) with specially engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) to attack cancer. The study aims to find a safe dose and see if it shrinks tumors, but it is still very experimental and involves significant risks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DISP-10 (a combination of an adenovirus called DV-10 and BCMA-directed CAR T cells called ide-cel)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced gastrointestinal cancers that are hard to treat.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 66 participants, so it may not work or could have serious side effects. The combination therapy is complex and carries risks like severe immune reactions.
