Brief description/objective

MVX-ONCO-1 is a form of active specific immunotherapy, a process by which the patient’s immune response to tumor cells is stimulated and/or augmented. MVX-ONCO-1 is a patient specific, cell-based, immunotherapy composed of: a. An immune-modulator (GM-CSF: granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor) released from an immuno-protected, encapsulated, allogeneic, genetically modified cell line (MVX-1), and b. Irradiated, autologous tumor cells as source of antigen. The IMP (MVX-ONCO-1) is a medication without marketing authorization in Switzer-land or any other market. MVX-ONCO-1 is an ex-vivo gene therapy (GMO), a transplantation product regulated by the Transplantation Act (Art. 49) in accordance to the Therapeutic Products Act (TPA), the Human Research Act (HRA) and the Clinical Trials Ordinance (ClinO); this trial is classified into clinical trial as a category C.
