genetic engineered t-cells

by 732719berk on Sat Aug 11, 2012 12:07 am

I am presently in a clinical trial with a gentically engineered t-cells.
1 am 73 years old and have had second stem cell transplant,
i am not currently receiving any chemo and bone marrow aspiration show decreses in my myeloma cells. my oncoligist is very happy with results. i think he feels that this targeted therapy is going tobe very sucessful, as a side note i have found that accupunture is great for some patients nuropathy it really worked well for meand i found it by being treated for back pain, still have back pain but nuropathy is gone.

Hi, Marty:

Can you tell us more about your clinical trial with genetically engineered T cells? It would be great if you have the name of the trial or how I can find it on clinicaltrials.gov. Thanks!
