Summary

This early-phase study tests whether a new cell therapy called KSQ-001EX is safe for people with advanced solid tumors, including melanoma, lung cancer, and head & neck cancers. The treatment uses a patient's own immune cells (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes) that are genetically modified to boost their cancer-fighting ability. The study involves 15 participants and focuses on tracking side effects and safety.
