Program Overview
This study is exploring a new immunotherapy treatment called AlloStim for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have not responded to two previous chemotherapy treatments. AlloStim is a living immune cell product made from the blood of healthy donors. It is designed to help the patient's immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. The treatment is not genetically modified and is intended to be safe and non-toxic, being naturally eliminated by the body within 24 hours. The goal is to train the immune system to fight cancer more effectively and prevent its growth and spread.
Description
This clinical trial is testing a new immunotherapy called AlloStim for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have already tried two different chemotherapy treatments. AlloStim is made from immune cells taken from healthy donors and is designed to help the patient's immune system fight cancer. Unlike other immune therapies that directly attack cancer cells, AlloStim works by training the patient's immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells on its own. The treatment is safe and is naturally removed from the body within a day. The study aims to see if AlloStim can improve the body's ability to fight cancer and prevent it from spreading.
