Scientists arm immune cells to fight Virus-Linked cancer

NCT ID NCT04139057

Summary

This trial tested a new immunotherapy approach for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive head and neck cancers that have returned or spread. Researchers collected patients' own immune cells, engineered them to recognize EBV proteins on cancer cells, and added a component to block cancer's immune-suppressing signals. The study aimed to find the safest and most effective dose of these modified cells for 10 patients with advanced disease.
