Recruiting studies
- NCT07366658RecruitingPhase 1
Experimental therapy for neuroendocrine tumors that did not respond to treatment
This trial tests an experimental therapy (NEUK203-13) for people with neuroendocrine tumors, including small cell lung cancer, that have not responded to or stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and to look for early signs that it might shrink tumors, especially in people whose tumors have a specific marker called DLL3.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT02859402RecruitingPhase 2
Donor stem cell transplant for relapsed T or NK lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests an allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplant for people with T-cell or NK-cell lymphomas that came back or did not respond to prior treatment. It may help by giving you new, healthy immune cells that can attack the cancer.
BusanAges 19–65 - NCT05410717RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-NK cell therapy for certain solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests a lab-made immune cell treatment for advanced solid tumors that show specific targets (including Claudin 6, GPC3, Mesothelin, or AXL). It may help the immune system better recognize and kill tumor cells, but eligibility depends on test results and your overall health.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07256210RecruitingPhase 2
Donor NK cells to prevent leukemia return after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether giving donor natural killer (NK) cells after a stem cell transplant can help prevent leukemia from coming back. It is for people aged 14-25 with certain hard-to-treat leukemias who are already getting a stem cell transplant from a related donor.
MoscowAges 1 month–25 years - NCT06716658RecruitingPhase 2
New targeted drug for certain T/NK-cell lymphomas
This trial tests an oral JAK1 inhibitor called golidocitnib for people with T/NK-cell lymphoma that came back after treatment or didn't respond. The drug works by blocking a signal that helps cancer cells grow.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07101432RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation plus engineered NK cells for advanced head and neck cancer
This early-phase trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy combined with radiation for advanced head and neck cancer. The cells are engineered to target the TROP2 marker on cancer cells and are given after a short course of radiation to help them work better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07510828RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK cells for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests whether specially engineered NK cells can find and attack your type of cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard treatments.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03011814RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Durvalumab plus lenalidomide for relapsed T-cell lymphoma
This study tests a combination of two drugs—durvalumab (an immunotherapy) and lenalidomide (a targeted therapy)—to see if they are safe and effective for people with T-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to harness your immune system to fight the cancer while also attacking the cancer cells directly.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07510815RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune cell therapy for advanced mesothelioma
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy made from donor cells that are trained to target two specific proteins found on mesothelioma tumors. The goal is to see if these cells can safely shrink tumors or slow the disease when given directly into the chest or belly area.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04211675RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test NK cell infusions with irinotecan, temozolomide, and dinutuximab
This early-phase study tests whether giving donated NK cells with three medicines can shrink neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded well to prior treatment. It’s designed for people who have limited options, and the goal is to see safety and whether the combination works.
Columbus, OhioAges Up to 29 years - NCT05334693RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor immune cells to help prevent AML return after treatment
This study tests an “immune cell therapy” made from a family donor to help children and young adults with AML stay in remission after chemotherapy. It may help reduce the chance that AML comes back, but eligibility depends on remission status, donor suitability, and avoiding certain infections or liver issues.
Minsk, Minsk OblastAges 6 months–21 years - NCT06687681RecruitingPhase 2
Natural killer cell therapy for brain tumors
This trial tests a new treatment using donated natural killer (NK) cells injected into the body to fight high-grade brain tumors. It might help people with certain types of aggressive gliomas that are newly diagnosed.
TehranAges 3–70 - NCT06478459RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-NK cell injection for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new treatment where CAR-NK cells are injected directly into the pancreatic tumor using an endoscope. It is designed for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has come back or cannot be removed by surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06773091RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational NK cell therapy (NK042) for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The aim is to see if this cellular therapy is safe and potentially effective.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT07551362RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK Cell Therapy for Advanced Gastric Cancer
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (CAR-NK cells) designed to attack gastric and esophageal junction cancers that have specific markers on their surface. The cells are engineered to recognize two targets on your cancer cells, which may help your immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07613723RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ZI-MA4-1 immunotherapy for advanced solid cancers
This early-stage trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called ZI-MA4-1 in patients with advanced cancers (ovarian, lung, synovial sarcoma, or head and neck) that have stopped responding to standard treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying NK Cells?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 152 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.
