Scientists train Patients' own cells to fight deadly skin cancer
NCT ID NCT01005745
Summary
This study tested a personalized treatment for advanced melanoma that had spread. Doctors took a patient's own cancer-fighting immune cells from a tumor, grew billions of them in a lab, and then infused them back into the patient. Before the infusion, patients received chemotherapy to make space for the new cells and a drug called IL-2 to help them work. The main goal was to see if this complex process was possible and safe, and to check if it could shrink tumors.
