Immune cell attack on melanoma: new combo shows promise

NCT ID NCT00338377

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study tests a treatment that uses a patient's own immune cells (T-cells) to fight advanced melanoma. Some patients also receive a dendritic cell vaccine to boost the immune response. The goal is to see if the combination helps T-cells last longer and shrink tumors better than T-cells alone. The study includes several groups exploring different approaches, including treating brain metastases and using a faster way to grow T-cells.
