Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study, whole blood is drawn from the patient to be used to grow Immune Killer Cells (IKC). After proliferation, the IKC will be infused back into the patient to treat the cancer for a total of 24 weekly treatments.

Possible adverse reaction can include slight fever and headache.
