Phase I/IIa clinical study of autologous dendritic cell therapy
... Cellular immunotherapy using dendritic cells is emerging as a useful immunotherapeutic modality to treat multiple myeloma (MM). We have developed potent immunotherapeutic agent (VAXDC/MM) generated by dendritic cells loaded with the ultraviolet B-irradiated autologous myeloma cells. In this study, w ...
