Clinical trials

This is a two-part, biomarker-guided Phase 1/2 study evaluating the safety, feasibility, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of off-the-shelf dual-target CAR-NK cells in participants with advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose tumors co-express at least two of the following antigens: Mesothelin (MSLN), EGFR, and HER2/ERBB2. Participants will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by infusion of the CAR-NK product matched to their tumor antigen profile. A data-driven interim assessment will be used to select the most suitable construct for expansion.

The study uses a dose-escalation followed by dose-expansion design to define a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and to estimate response rates in each cohort.

This Phase 1/2 study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of dual-targeting chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cells in participants with recurrent or refractory epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. At screening, each participant's tumor is assessed for expression of Mesothelin (MSLN), Folate Receptor alpha (FRalpha/FOLR1), and MUC16 (CA 125). Participants are assigned to the dual-target CAR-NK product that best matches their tumor antigen profile to reduce the risk of antigen escape.

This example Phase 1/2 protocol evaluates allogeneic EGFR/HER2 dual-target CAR-NK cells in adults with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC whose tumors meet protocol-defined co-expression criteria for EGFR and HER2/ERBB2. The study is designed as a biomarker-enriched, open-label, non-randomized trial with a dose-escalation safety lead-in followed by an expansion cohort at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).

This Phase 1/2 study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of target-selected CAR-natural killer (CAR-NK) cells in adults with relapsed or refractory B2 thymoma or thymic carcinoma. Participants undergo centralized tumor antigen assessment (CD30, CD5, and mesothelin). Based on the dominant and clinically actionable antigen expression profile, each participant is assigned to one of three parallel cohorts (CD30-CAR-NK, CD5-CAR-NK, or mesothelin-CAR-NK). All cohorts use the same lymphodepleting conditioning regimen followed by CAR-NK infusion(s).

This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of EB-DUALNK, a dual-target chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapy, in adults with recurrent or refractory epithelial ovarian cancer. Candidates for targeting include GD2, MUC1, PSMA, and mesothelin.

CLDN18.2 is selected as the anchor antigen because it has the more disease-specific gastric/GEJ cell-therapy development footprint, while HER2 is retained as the complementary second antigen to address co-expressing or heterogeneous disease. Phase 1 uses a 3+3 dose-escalation design after fludarabine/cyclophosphamide lymphodepletion followed by three intravenous CAR-NK infusions on Days 0, 3, and 7. Phase 2 expansion evaluates the recommended phase 2 dose and preliminary antitumor activity

This is a draft, ClinicalTrials.gov-style example record for a first-in-human Phase 1 study evaluating locoregional administration of dual-targeting chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cells in adults with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma (GBM) or other high-grade glioma (HGG). Participants will undergo tumor antigen profiling for IL13Rα2, EGFR/EGFRvIII, and B7-H3 (CD276). Based on this assessment, each participant will receive the most suitable dual-target CAR construct to reduce antigen-escape risk.

Phase 1/2 study evaluates the safety, feasibility, and preliminary antitumor activity of allogeneic dual-target CD70/CAIX CAR-NK cells after fludarabine/cyclophosphamide lymphodepletion in adults with advanced or metastatic clear cell RCC that has progressed after standard therapy. The study is designed to determine a recommended dose and schedule, characterize hepatobiliary safety, and explore whether CD70-high, CAIX-high, or dual-high tumors derive the greatest benefit. Biomarker-defined activity signals will be used to guide whether later development should prioritize CD70, CAIX/CA9, or continued dual-targeting.

Phase 1/2 umbrella study evaluates biomarker-selected dual-target CAR-T cell modules for adults with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies. After central antigen co-expression screening, participants are assigned to the most appropriate active dual-target module: CD19/CD22, CD19/CD20, BCMA/CD19, BCMA/CD38, BCMA/GPRC5D, CD33/CD123, CD33/CLL1, or CD5/CD7. Phase 1 determines safety, dose-limiting toxicities, and the recommended phase 2 dose for each module; phase 2 estimates preliminary antitumor activity, including overall response rate and MRD-negative response. Lymphodepletion with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide precedes infusion. The design is intended to reduce antigen escape by matching disease biology and target co-expression to a rational dual-target strategy.

study evaluates a biomarker-guided strategy to assign adults with refractory SLE to autologous CAR-T therapy targeting either CD19 or BCMA. Participants undergo centralized screening immunophenotyping to determine whether their disease appears B-cell-dominant (CD19-preferred) or plasma-cell-dominant (BCMA-preferred), followed by leukapheresis, lymphodepletion, and a single CAR-T infusion. The main goals are to assess safety, determine a recommended Phase 2 dose within each arm, and estimate remission rates by Week 24.

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2 master protocol evaluating autologous dual-target CAR-T cell therapy in adults with advanced solid cancers. After central biomarker screening, each participant is assigned the best-matched dual-target construct from a predefined target-pair library. The trial is designed to test whether biomarkerguided dual targeting can improve tumor control, reduce antigenescape risk, and preserve safety in solid tumors.

This example study evaluates locoregional allogeneic dual-target mesothelin/FAP CAR-NK cells in adults with unresectable, recurrent, or refractory pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma. Eligible participants must have central confirmation of MSLN-positive tumor cells and FAP-positive tumorassociated stroma. The phase 1 portion defines the recommended phase 2 dose and schedule, and the phase 2 expansion explores preliminary antitumor activity, persistence, and biomarker response in pleural and peritoneal disease cohorts.

This study tests the safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity of an investigational dual-target chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapy in adults with advanced breast cancer.

This Phase 1/2, open-label, biomarker-guided platform study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of banked allogeneic donor-derived chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cells in adults with advanced solid tumors. During screening, tumor antigen profiling is performed using tissue biopsy and/or liquid biopsy (circulating tumor DNA and/or circulating tumor cells). Participants are assigned to receive either a single-target CAR-NK product (matched to the dominant tumor antigen) or a dual-target CAR-NK product (matched to two co-expressed antigens) to reduce the risk of antigen escape.

This illustrative Phase 1/Phase 2 study tests allogeneic dual-target GD2/B7-H3 (CD276) CAR-NK cells in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma. After lymphodepletion, participants receive IV CAR-NK cells;Part A defines the RP2D and Part B estimates preliminary activity

open-label trial of an allogeneic dual-target CAR-NK product directed against GPC3 and B7-H3 for adults with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The design intentionally uses GPC3 as the primary target anchor because GPC3 is the dominant HCC cell-therapy antigen in current clinical development, while adding B7-H3 to reduce antigen escape and to broaden coverage across tumor and tumor-microenvironment compartments. The study first evaluates safety and dose-limiting toxicities, then expands at the recommended phase 2 dose.

This hypothetical first-in-human study is designed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of an allogeneic dual-target Nectin-4/HER2 CAR-NK cell product in adults with relapsed/refractory locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Based on public urothelial-cancer evidence, Nectin-4 was selected as the lead antigen because it has the strongest disease-specific clinical validation; HER2/ERBB2 was chosen as the secondary co-target to broaden tumor coverage and reduce antigen-escape risk. EpCAM is not selected as a therapeutic co-target in this example because of broader normal epithelial expression and weaker tumor specificity in urothelial carcinoma.

This study tests the safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity of an investigational dual-target chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapy in adults with advanced breast cancer. After a tumor antigen assessment (HER2/ERBB2, MUC1, ROR1, and in some TNBC cases mesothelin), each participant will receive the most suitable dual-target CAR-NK product for their tumor profile, following short-course lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
