First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tested a new treatment for cancers caused by HPV-16, such as cervical, throat, and anal cancers. Researchers took patients' own white blood cells, added genes to help them recognize and attack cancer cells with the HPV E7 protein, and infused them back. The goal was to find a safe dose and see if the therapy could shrink tumors. The trial included 224 adults who had already tried standard treatments.
