Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Cancer

New treatment option for Cancer

Official title Immunotherapy Treating GI Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03614650

What this study is testing

What is engineered immune cells?

engineered immune cells is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for cancer.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of infusion of autologous gastro-intestinal (GI) cancer antigen-specific engineered immune effector cells (EIE).
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works

A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
