Scientists test 'Supercharged' immune cells against blood cancers

NCT ID NCT00709033

Summary

This early-phase study tested a new gene therapy approach for patients whose non-Hodgkin lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia had returned or didn't respond to standard treatments. Researchers modified patients' own immune T-cells in the lab to better recognize and attack their cancer cells, then infused them back into the patients. The main goals were to find a safe dose, see how long the modified cells lasted in the body, and check for any side effects.
