Scientists Re-Engineer Patient's own cells to hunt down HPV cancers

NCT ID NCT02858310

Summary

This trial tested a new type of treatment for cancers caused by HPV-16, including cervical, throat, and anal cancers. Doctors took a patient's own immune cells, genetically modified them in a lab to better recognize and attack cancer cells, and then infused them back into the patient. The goal was to find a safe dose and see if this personalized cell therapy could shrink tumors in people with advanced HPV-related cancers.
