NCT ID NCT03645928

First seen May 22, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tested a treatment that uses a patient's own immune cells (called TIL) taken from their tumor, grown in a lab, and then given back to fight the cancer. It included 225 adults with advanced melanoma, head and neck cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer. The goal was to see if this approach could shrink tumors and how safe it was.
