Scientists reprogram Patient's own cells to hunt blood cancer
NCT ID NCT00586391
Summary
This is an early-stage safety study testing a new type of treatment for patients whose B-cell lymphoma or leukemia has returned or not responded to standard therapies. Doctors take a patient's own immune cells (T cells), genetically modify them in a lab to better recognize and attack cancer cells, and then infuse them back into the patient. The main goals are to find a safe dose, see how long the modified cells last, and check for any side effects.
