Lung cancer immune cell trial halted after just 2 patients
NCT ID NCT06235242
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early trial tested a treatment that takes immune cells from a patient's own tumor, grows them in a lab, and gives them back along with an immune-boosting drug called teraplizumab. The goal was to see if this combination is safe and tolerable for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Only 2 patients were enrolled before the study was terminated, so we have very limited information.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (GT201) plus teraplizumab
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced non-small cell lung cancer using a patient's own immune cells.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small, early safety trial with only 2 participants and has already been terminated, so results are limited and may not apply to others. Risks include severe immune reactions.
