Scientists reprogram cancer cells to fight back against leukemia

NCT ID NCT02483312

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether modifying a patient's own leukemia cells to produce an immune-stimulating protein (IL-12) and returning them to the body is safe. It involves 9 adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia who cannot receive bone marrow transplants. Researchers will monitor side effects and track how long the modified cells remain active in the body.
