Recruiting PHASE1 Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer

New treatment option for Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer

Official title Intraperitoneal Cytokine-Induced Memory Like (CIML) Natural Killer (NK) Cells in Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06321484

What this study is testing

What is Cytokine-Induced Memory-like Natural Killer Cells?

Cytokine-Induced Memory-like Natural Killer Cells is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Also referred to as CIML NK Cells.

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 goal of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the use of cytokine-induced memory-like (CIML) natural killer (NK) cell therapy in recurrent, high grade ovarian cancer (HGOC). Names of the study therapies involved in this study are: CIML NK (cellular therapy) Interleukin-2 (IL-2)
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study

  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • The effects of CIML NK cells and IL-2 on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because CIML NK cells and IL-2 may be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate...
What rules you out
