Engineered immune cells take on Hard-to-Treat lung cancer
NCT ID NCT05620342
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests a new treatment for people with advanced lung cancer that has not responded to standard therapies. The treatment uses a patient's own immune cells (T cells) that are modified in a lab to better recognize and attack cancer cells. The main goal is to find a safe dose and understand side effects. About 24 adults will take part.
