New treatment option for Malignancy, Hematologic
Official title Autologous T Cells Transduced With Retroviral Vectors Expressing TCRs for Participant-specific Neoantigens in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06904066
What this study is testing
What is aldesleukin?
aldesleukin is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for malignancy, hematologic.
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
- Background: Blood cancers (such as leukemias) can be hard to treat, especially if they have mutations in the TP53 or RAS genes. These mutations can cause the cancer cells to create substances called neoepitopes.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
