NCT ID NCT01697527

First seen Nov 26, 2025 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study tests a new approach for people with advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. Doctors take a patient's own white blood cells, genetically reprogram them to recognize a protein called NY-ESO-1 found on cancer cells, and give them back along with a vaccine and stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this helps the immune system shrink or control the cancer.
