Summary

This early-stage trial tested a new treatment for a type of throat cancer linked to the Epstein-Barr virus. Researchers took patients' own immune cells, engineered them to recognize and attack the virus-infected cancer cells, and also added a feature to boost their cancer-killing power. The study involved 9 people with advanced or returning cancer to find the safest dose and see if the approach could work.
