Scientists supercharge Patients' own cells to battle deadly skin cancer

NCT ID NCT01955460

Summary

This early-stage study is testing the safety of a new personalized treatment for advanced melanoma. Doctors take a patient's own immune cells, genetically modify them in a lab to better recognize and attack cancer, and then infuse them back into the body. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can help control the disease in patients with stage III or IV melanoma.
