What the film says

Read the transcript

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue cancer in children. Low-risk disease is usually cured; when it comes back, fewer than one in five survive five years.

The idea: every rhabdomyosarcoma cell carries the same surface receptor, so aim engineered T cells at it.

That receptor is FGFR4. NCI researchers showed it sits on essentially all rhabdomyosarcomas and drives the most aggressive form, so it need not even be tested. A patient's T cells are collected, given a receptor for FGFR4, and returned in one infusion after four days of chemotherapy clears space.

A first dose-finding study, ages three to thirty-nine, after at least two prior treatments failed. Srivandana Akshintala leads it at the NIH Clinical Center. Public record; not medical advice.
