Recruiting studies
- NCT03882840RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T-like NK cell therapy for cancers with low MHC-I
This early-stage trial tests a lab-made immune cell treatment (T-like NK cells) for advanced cancers that have low or missing MHC-I on their cells. Because the treatment aims to “re-activate” the immune system against these cancers, you may be eligible if your cancer matches this feature and you meet safety requirements.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06641648RecruitingPhase 1
Donor NK cells with low-dose IL-2 for AML relapse after stem cell transplant
This trial tests a new treatment for patients whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has come back after a stem cell transplant. It uses immune cells from the original donor, combined with a low dose of a protein called IL-2, to try to fight the leukemia without causing severe side effects.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03719105RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Chemo plus immunotherapy with donor stem cell transplant for NK lymphoma
This early-phase study tests a combination treatment—chemo, immunotherapy, and a donor stem cell transplant—for certain aggressive NK/T-cell lymphomas. It may help patients who have advanced-stage disease by trying to improve long-term control of the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–31 - NCT05978141Recruiting
T-cell lymphoma registry study
This study creates a registry for people with certain T-cell or NK-cell lymphomas. It collects health information and tumor samples to learn more about these diseases and improve future treatments.

Chemoimmunotherapy with NK cells for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and natural killer (NK) cell therapy for children with high-risk neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma that has not responded to initial treatment or has come back after treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can help destroy cancer cells more effectively.

C7R-GD2 CAR-T cells for osteosarcoma or neuroblastoma
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells (called C7R-GD2 CAR-T cells) that are trained to find and kill cancer cells. It's for children and young adults with osteosarcoma or neuroblastoma that has not gotten better with standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 1–24 - NCT04616209RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor immune cell therapy for advanced lung cancer
This early-phase study tests immune cells given from a matched donor to treat advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. It aims to see how safe the treatment is and whether it can help control the cancer.
TaipeiAges 20–70 - NCT06885476Recruiting
NK cell infusion for AML patients with minimal cancer left
This trial tests if giving special immune cells from a donor can clear leftover leukemia cells in patients who are in remission but still have traces of cancer after chemotherapy.
Bologna, BOAges 18 years+ - NCT07480213RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK cell therapy for relapsed small cell lung cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying NK Cells?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 154 recruiting studies that include NK Cells, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a NK Cells trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is NK Cells an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether NK Cells or a specific trial is right for you.
