Engineered immune cells take aim at Hard-to-Treat T-Cell cancers
NCT ID NCT07678307
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new treatment called nano CD5-CAR T cells for people with relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or T-cell lymphoma. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells, modified in a lab to recognize and attack cancer cells that carry the CD5 protein. The trial has two phases: the first checks safety and the best dose, and the second looks at how well the treatment works. Participants receive chemotherapy before a single infusion of the modified cells.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- autologous nano CD5-CAR T cells
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat T-cell cancers that have not responded to standard therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 18 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Risks include fever, low blood pressure, and infection, and the therapy may not work for everyone.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 3 to 70 years old * Diagnosed with CD5-positive relapsed/refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) * ECOG performance status 0-2 * Adequate organ function (renal, hepatic, cardiac, pulmonary) * Able to understand and sign informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Active severe infection or uncontrolled sepsis * History of allogeneic stem cell transplantation within 3 months * Severe autoimmune disease or immunodeficiency * Prior CD5-targeted therapy * Pregnant or breastfeeding women * Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would compromise safety or compliance with the protocol
