Immune cells trained to fight advanced throat cancer in new trial
NCT ID NCT05261750
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests whether a personalized immune cell therapy (dendritic cells) is safe and can help control advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. The treatment uses the patient's own immune cells and donor cell secretions to boost the body's cancer fight. The study involves 15 adults whose cancer did not fully respond to standard treatments.
