Can a Patient's own immune cells fight advanced cancer?
NCT ID NCT05087745
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) — immune cells taken from a patient's own tumor — can be expanded in the lab and infused back to attack cancer. It enrolls adults aged 18 to 75 with advanced solid tumors who have failed standard treatments. The study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of this cell therapy, including how well it shrinks tumors and how long any response lasts.
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 approach could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with a small number of participants, so results may not apply broadly. TIL therapy can cause significant side effects, including immune-related reactions.
