Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 75 with confirmed malignant tumors who have failed or are unwilling to undergo third-line treatment.

Probably not a fit

Patients with solid tumors that are not measurable or those who have not met the eligibility criteria may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical investigation aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NKG2D-CAR-NK92 cell infusions in patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors. The study will involve administering genetically modified natural killer (NK) cells that express the NKG2D receptor, which targets and destroys cancer cells. Participants will be monitored for treatment response and any adverse effects throughout the trial. The study is designed for adult patients who have not responded to standard treatments and have measurable disease.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could provide a new treatment option for patients with difficult-to-treat solid tumors.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of CAR-NK cells is a novel approach, similar studies involving CAR-T cell therapies have shown promising results in treating various cancers.
