Can a Patient's own immune cells fight tough cancers?
NCT ID NCT05098197
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing a treatment called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in 50 people with advanced liver or pancreatic cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. Doctors take immune cells from a patient's tumor, grow them in a lab, and then infuse them back into the patient after a short course of chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced liver and pancreatic cancers that have not responded to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment involves strong chemotherapy beforehand, which can cause serious side effects.
