Safety Evaluation of Autologous Dendritic Cell Anticancer Immune Cell Therapy (Cellgram-DC-PC)

An Open Label, Single-center, Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety of Cancer Immunotherapy With Autologous Dendritic Cells in Patients With Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)

This Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety of cancer immunotherapy with autologous dendritic cells(DC) in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)

To evaluate the safety of an autologous dendritic cell anticancer immune cell therapy (Cellgram-DC-PC) for the treatment of prostate cancer in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
