Gene therapy trial targets tough T-Cell cancers
Disease control Recruiting nowThis early-stage trial tests a new gene therapy for certain T-cell lymphomas that have come back or not responded to treatment. The therapy uses a patient's own white blood cells, modified to attack cancer cells that carry a protein called CCR4. Up to 60 adults will receive the m…
