Summary
This study tested a new treatment for people with HPV-related cancers that returned or didn't respond to standard care. Researchers took blood from 32 patients, grew special immune cells (HPVST cells) that target HPV-infected cancer cells, and gave them back to patients. The goal was to find a safe dose, see how long the cells last, and check for side effects. Some patients also received the drug Nivolumab to boost the immune response.
