Methods and compositions for liquidation of tumors

摘要

This invention relates to compositions and methods for immunotherapy of cancer. Specifically, a method of cancer immunotherapy is described which results in the systemic liquidation of both solid and metastatic tumors whereever they reside in the body. The compositions include activated allogeneic Th1 cells that when administered appropriately lead to liquidation of tumors. The method includes administering priming doses of the therapeutic composition, ablation of a selected tumor lesion along with intratumoral injection of the composition and then infusion of the therapeutic composition. These steps enable the systemic liquidation of tumors secondary to immune cell infiltration and leads to immune-mediated tumor eradication.
