First test of 'Reinforced' immune cells for Kids' tough cancers

NCT ID NCT01875601

Summary

This early-stage study tested a new immune therapy for children and young adults whose solid tumors did not respond to standard treatments. Doctors collected and grew a patient's own 'natural killer' (NK) immune cells, then gave them back to the patient to fight the cancer. The main goals were to see if this process was safe and possible, and to test if adding a drug called rhIL15 could make the cells work better.
