Scientists test supercharged immune cells against tough cancers

NCT ID NCT02948426

Summary

This early-stage study tested a new treatment for women with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has returned or stopped responding to standard therapies. Researchers collected a patient's own immune cells (monocytes), activated them with two drugs (Sylatron and Actimmune), and then infused them back into the abdomen. The main goal was to find the safest dose and see if this approach could help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
