What this trial is trying to do
The researchers are testing DISP-10, which combines DV-10 (an adenovirus) with idecabtagene vicleucel, or ide-cel, a CAR-T treatment that directs immune cells against BCMA, a target on cancer cells. The first part will increase the dose to find a dose suitable for further testing; the second will examine that dose’s safety and early signs of activity.
The idea is that combining the adenovirus with BCMA-directed CAR-T cells could produce a useful treatment for advanced gastrointestinal cancers, but this trial is mainly measuring treatment-emergent side effects and safety, with efficacy assessed only in the expansion part. There is no usual-treatment comparison, so it cannot yet show whether the approach helps people live longer or delays cancer growth.
Worth knowing: This is a small, open-label, non-randomised Phase 1 trial, designed primarily to establish safety and dosing rather than demonstrate benefit.
Written from the trial's own registry entry to explain what the researchers are testing and why. Nothing here is a result — this trial has not reported one — and it is not a view on whether the treatment works or on whether it would suit you.

What is being tested
- Biological DISP-10
What it is measuring
Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
This is the trial's main question — the one it is designed and sized to answer. Anything else it reports is a secondary finding, and secondary findings are far more likely to be chance.
Phase 1. Tests safety and dose in a small group. Some people do benefit, but that is not what the trial is designed to find out.
How the researchers describe it
This is a Phase 1, multicenter, open-label study of DISP-10, a combination therapy consisting of DV-10 (adenovirus) and idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel, BCMA-directed chimeric antigen receptor [CAR] T), in adult participants with advanced gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.
The study will consist of 2 parts: dose-escalation (Part 1) and dose-expansion (Part 2). Part 1 of the study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of increasing dose levels of DISP-10 to establish the recommended dose for expansion (RDE); Part 2 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of DISP-10 in participants treated at the RDE.

Where it is running
Running at 5 sites. Listed in: United States.
Individual hospitals, and whether each is currently open, are listed on the registry record. Sites open and close throughout a trial.
Worth asking your oncology team
Being listed here is not a recommendation, and no one page can tell you whether a trial is right for you. These are the questions it raises.
- Is this trial open at a hospital I could realistically travel to?
- Given my stage, my previous treatment and my tumour's molecular profile, would I be eligible?
- What would I be giving up by joining — is the comparison arm the treatment I would otherwise be having?
- What is already known about the safety of what is being tested?
