New treatment option for Mesothelioma
Official title Anti-Mesothelin TNaive/SCM hYP218 (TNhYP218) CAR T Cells in Participants With Mesothelin-Expressing Solid Tumors Including Mesothelioma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06885697
What this study is testing
What is TNhYP217 CAR T Cells?
TNhYP217 CAR T Cells is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for mesothelioma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Background: Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that grows in the linings of the body; this can include the membranes that line the heart, lungs, and internal organs. Mesothelin (MSLN) is a protein that appears in high numbers in many tumors, including mesothelioma.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
