Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18-70 with histologically confirmed metastatic or recurrent solid tumors who progressed after prior therapy and have at least one measurable lesion.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with uncontrolled infections, autoimmune disease, major cardiovascular issues, or those who have received prior cell therapy may not benefit and could be at higher risk of adverse events.

What this trial studies
This is a single-arm Phase 1 trial evaluating the safety and tolerability of IL-15 enhanced engineered natural killer (NK) cells in patients with refractory solid tumors. Participants receive the cell therapy after meeting eligibility criteria, including measurable disease and adequate organ function. The study will monitor adverse events and preliminary anti-tumor activity to inform future development. It is sponsored by Genovn Therapeutics (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. and conducted at Xinqiao Hospital in Chongqing.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the therapy could offer a new cellular treatment option for patients with metastatic solid tumors who have exhausted standard therapies.
How similar studies have gone: Similar NK cell–based approaches have shown safety in early studies, with limited but encouraging signals of activity in some solid tumors.
