Details:

There are few options for patients whose cancers have metastasized due to resistance to current therapies. This team is using gene editing technology to modify a patient’s own immune system cells and blood-forming stem cells with the aim of creating a continuous supply of immune cells that can recognize and attack hard-to-treat cancers.

Design:

Single dose. 

Goal:

Primary: Safety and feasibility. Secondary: Persistence of gene-marked anti-cancer immune cells
