Experimental CAR-T therapy targets Hard-to-Treat HER2 cancers
NCT ID NCT07593820
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing a new type of cell therapy called p95HER2.CAR-TECH2Me for people with advanced HER2-positive breast, gastric, or endometrial cancers that have spread. The treatment uses a patient's own immune cells, which are modified in a lab to better recognize and attack cancer cells. About 15 participants will receive a single infusion after a short course of chemotherapy, and researchers will closely monitor safety and any signs of tumor shrinkage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- p95HER2.CAR-TECH2Me cells (a type of immune cell therapy made from the patient's own blood)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced HER2-positive cancers that have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 15 people, focused mainly on safety. The treatment may not shrink tumors, and there are risks of serious 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. Patients must understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent document before any study-related assessments/procedures being conducted. 2. Age ≥ 18 and years at the time of signing the ICF 3. Patients must be able and willing to comply with the study visit schedule and protocol requirements. 4. Patients must have a clinical performance of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 0 or 1. 5. Life expectancy ≥12 weeks. 6. Patients must have histologically or cytologically proven unresectable or metastatic tumors. The disease must be refractory to standard therapy or in the first line if they are unable to receive standard therapy or no standard therapy exists for a particular disease. a) Select tumor types: breast, gastric, and endometrial tumors. Other selected solid tumors may be included per investigator discretion if the potential benefit is considered based on the literature updates in HER2/p95HER2 expression. 7. Positivity for HER2 expression according to international society guidelines (score in a ISO-certified clinical or equivalent laboratory). To meet study entry eligibility, tumors are required to have at least an intensity score 3+ for HER2 staining following the manufacturer's recommendations 8. Measurable disease by the RECIST v. 1.1 criteria (See Section 7.2 for details). Note: Lesions previously irradiated should not be selected as target lesions unless there has been demonstrated progression in those lesions; 9. Patients are considered medically fit enough to undergo all study procedures and interventions and adequate hematological, renal, and hepatic functions defined by: 1. Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL. 2.

Patients must be seronegative for HIV antibody. 11. Patients must be seronegative for active hepatitis B (defined as having a negative hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] test), and seronegative for hepatitis C antibody. Patients with a history of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and having a negative HBsAg test and a positive antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) are eligible. Patients with the hepatitis C antibody test positive are eligible only if tested for the presence of antigen by RT-PCR and be HCV RNA negative. 12.

Patients who are of childbearing potential (postmenarcheal who has not reached a postmenopausal state and has not undergone surgical sterilization) or have partners of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during the study and for at least 12 months after the infusion of the p95HER2.CAR-TECH2Me product . 16. Female participants: a female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: 1.
