pubmed:abstractText
In recent years, we have initiated two clinical studies, to evaluate the usefulness of ex-vivo expanded cells in patients with breast cancer who receive sequential high-dose chemotherapy. Ex-vivo expanded cells were produced from autologous cryopreserved bone marrow nucleated cells, using a biomedical device. The Aastrom Replicell system cultures cells in animal serum-replete medium, with a combination of flt3-L, PIXY321 and Epo, for 12 days. The initial pilot trial was set up to establish the feasibility and safety of the technique: 6 patients completed the study. An ongoing randomized study searches to establish whether ex-vivo expanded cells provide a clinical benefit.
