Growing immune cells outside the body to fight cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to take blood from patients with solid tumors or healthy volunteers, grow immune cells in a lab, and then give them back to potentially treat cancer. It may help people whose standard options have run out.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a solid tumor cancer or you are a healthy person.
- You are willing to give a blood sample or have your blood filtered through a machine (apheresis).
- Your blood counts (hemoglobin, white cells, platelets) are above certain levels.
- You haven't had IV antibiotics in the last 2 weeks or major surgery in the last 4 weeks.
- You don't have HIV, active hepatitis B or C, or active tuberculosis.
- You aren't taking high-dose steroids or other drugs for an autoimmune disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This early-phase study tests a treatment made from your own tumor-fighting immune cells (TIL cells) for advanced solid cancers that have worsened or no longer respond to standard therapy. The main goal is to learn whether it is safe and whether it can shrink tumors for people who have limited options.
This trial studies how changing your immune system (with earlier treatments) affects cancer by collecting immune cells from your blood using a process called lymphapheresis. It may help researchers find better ways to monitor immune-related responses and side effects.
This study collects and stores blood/tissue samples (called biospecimens) to support immunotherapy research at the cancer center. If you may qualify, your samples help researchers test new immune-based cancer treatments.
This study is looking at a specific type of immune cell (called TLR4+ cells) in the blood of people with solid tumors. By studying these cells, researchers hope to learn more about how the immune system reacts to cancer and to treatments.
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy for people with advanced solid tumors (lung, liver, colorectal, or breast cancer). It aims to use your own immune cells to fight the cancer, and might help if standard treatments have stopped working.
This study collects blood cells using a special blood-draw procedure called leukapheresis (for some participants) and other samples. It aims to better understand cancer and immune-related cells, which may help researchers design or improve future treatments.
