CAR-NK cell therapy for severe autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy using modified natural killer cells (CAR-NK) that target a protein called CD19 and produce helpful signals (IL-10 and IL-15). It is for people with certain autoimmune diseases that have not improved with standard treatments or have come back after getting better.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT06066359RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cord blood NK cells for NY-ESO-1 positive myeloma
This trial tests a new treatment using cord blood immune cells (NK cells) that are specially designed to target a protein called NY-ESO-1 found on myeloma cells. It is for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to at least two previous treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07411599RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK cell therapy plus cetuximab for belly-spread colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy (CAR-NK cells given directly into your belly and a vein) combined with a targeted drug (cetuximab) for colorectal cancer that has spread mainly to the lining of your belly. It aims to see if this treatment can shrink tumors and help people who have run out of standard chemotherapy options.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04558931RecruitingPhase 2
NK cell therapy to help control multiple myeloma after initial treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests using your own immune cells (NK cells) alone or with isatuximab as “maintenance” treatment to help multiple myeloma stay under control after initial therapy. It may help lengthen the time until the disease grows again by boosting your immune response and targeting myeloma cells.

Genetic study for hepatitis B patients to find new treatment pathways
This study looks at the genes of people with chronic hepatitis B (HBV) to find why some people's immune cells (B cells and NK cells) stop working properly. The goal is to discover new ways to treat the disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying NK Cells?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 148 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.
