Summary
This early-phase study tested a personalized therapy where immune cells are taken from a patient's own tumor, grown in large numbers in a lab, and then infused back into the patient. The goal was to see if this treatment is safe and can shrink advanced solid tumors like melanoma, cervical cancer, and lung cancer. The trial enrolled 43 adults and also gave them a drug called sintilimab to boost the immune response.
