Scientists weaponize measles virus to fight ovarian cancer

NCT ID NCT02068794

Summary

This study is testing a new treatment for ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back after standard therapy. Doctors are using a specially engineered measles virus, which is carried directly to the cancer by the patient's own fat-derived stem cells, to try to kill the cancer cells. The main goals are to find the safest dose and to see if this approach helps patients live longer.
