First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study tested a new treatment for children with high-risk neuroblastoma, a type of cancer. Researchers took the children's own immune cells (T cells) and modified them to better recognize and attack cancer cells. Some of these cells were also trained to fight a common virus to help them last longer in the body. The main goal was to check if the treatment was safe and to see how long the modified cells survived.
