Harnessing the Body's own army: new cell therapy trial fights advanced skin cancer
NCT ID NCT00338377
Summary
This study is testing a personalized treatment for people with metastatic melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer that has spread. Doctors take a patient's own immune cells, grow them in large numbers in a lab, and then infuse them back into the patient to attack the cancer. The main goal is to see if adding special 'dendritic' cells to this treatment helps the immune cells last longer and work better against tumors.
