Scientists reprogram Patients' own cells to hunt lung cancer

NCT ID NCT02592577

Summary

This early-stage trial tested a new treatment for advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies. Doctors collected immune cells from 28 patients, genetically modified them in a lab to target cancer, and then infused them back into the patients. The main goals were to find a safe dose and see if these 'reprogrammed' cells could shrink tumors in people with specific genetic markers.
