What this study is testing
What is aldesleukin?
an investigational medicine being studied as a potential treatment for blood cancers. is designed to support the immune system by boosting the activity of T 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
- This study aims to see if changing a person's own immune cells to target specific cancer markers is safe and effective.
- Who it's for
- Adults aged 18 and older who have one of nine types of blood cancer.
- What's involved
- Participants will have bone marrow and skin biopsies, blood drawn to collect and modify immune cells, and receive the modified cells through a vein after taking preparation drugs.
- Time commitment
- The study involves a 7-day hospital stay after treatment, 14 follow-up visits over five years, and long-term monitoring for 10 more years.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
