Summary
This study tests a new approach for people with advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. Researchers take a patient's own white blood cells, genetically modify them to recognize a protein called NY-ESO-1 found on cancer cells, and return them to the body after a mild chemotherapy. A vaccine is also given to boost the immune response. The goal is to see if this therapy can shrink tumors or control the disease.
