Scientists test 'Living Drug' with emergency off switch for tough childhood cancers

NCT ID NCT03721068

Summary

This early-stage study is testing a new type of personalized cell therapy for children and young adults whose neuroblastoma or osteosarcoma has come back or hasn't responded to standard treatments. Doctors take a patient's own immune cells (T cells), modify them in a lab to better find and attack cancer cells, and then infuse them back into the patient. The modified cells include a built-in 'off switch' to stop treatment if severe side effects occur.
