Combination cell-gene therapy for lung cancer to be tested in UK patients

A pioneering new combined cell-gene therapy to treat lung cancer will be tested in NHS patients this year, after receiving 2m of Biomedical Catalyst funding from the Medical Research Council . Researchers led by Professor Sam Janes at UCL/UCLH will carry out the first UK clinical trial of a combined stem cell and gene therapy for the disease which kills around 34,000 people a year in the UK.
