Treating High Risk Leukemia With CD40 Ligand & IL-2 Gene Modified Tumor Vaccine
Bu çalışma, yüksek riskli lösemi (leukemia) olan hastalarda, CD40 ligand ve IL-2 ile genetik olarak değiştirilmiş bir tümör aşısını incelemiştir. Çalışmaya, 75 yaş ve altında, lenfoid veya akut miyeloid lösemi ya da miyelodisplastik sendrom tanısı olan ve nüks açısından yüksek riskli hastalar katılabilmiştir. Çalışma Faz 1 aşamasında yürütülmüş ve tamamlanmıştır.
