Early trial tests engineered immune cells against tough pancreatic cancer

NCT ID NCT03323944

Summary

This early-phase study tested the safety of a new cell therapy called huCART-meso cells in adults with advanced pancreatic cancer that could not be removed by surgery. The therapy involves collecting a patient's own immune cells (T-cells), modifying them in a lab to better target cancer, and then infusing them back into the body. The main goal was to see if this approach was safe and feasible when given through different methods, including into a vein or directly into the liver or abdomen.
