Immune cells take on ovarian cancer in early trial

NCT ID NCT03362606

First seen Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing whether specially engineered immune cells (OC-CTLs) can safely fight ovarian cancer. Twenty women with advanced-stage disease will receive 2 to 4 infusions of these cells. Researchers will monitor side effects and check if tumors shrink or stabilize.
