New treatment option for Bladder Cancer
Official title Dual-Target Nectin-4/HER2 CAR-NK Cells in Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07492628
What this study is testing
What is EB-DT-NK-UC101?
EB-DT-NK-UC101 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for bladder cancer.
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
- 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.
