Investigational personalized cellular therapy tolerated well by patients

(University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) Genetically modified versions of patients' own immune cells successfully traveled to tumors they were designed to attack in an early-stage trial for mesothelioma and pancreatic and ovarian cancers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The data adds to a growing body of research showing the promise of CAR T cell technology. The interim results will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting 2015, April 18-22.
