Scientists re-engineer Patient's own cells to hunt down blood cancers

NCT ID NCT02153580

Summary

This early-stage study is testing a new type of cellular immunotherapy for adults whose B-cell lymphoma or leukemia has come back. Doctors collect a patient's own immune cells, genetically modify them in a lab to better recognize and attack cancer cells, and then infuse them back after a short course of chemotherapy. The main goals are to find a safe dose and understand the side effects of this personalized treatment approach.
