Vinmec 国际医院自体免疫增强疗法（AIET）治疗结直肠癌患者的安全性与生活质量评估

(1) Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an increasingly prevalent disease with a high mortality rate in recent years. Immune cell-based therapies have received massive attention among scientists, as they have been proven effective as low-toxicity treatments.

This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of autologous immune enhancement therapy (AIET) for CRC. (2) An open-label, single-group study, including twelve patients diagnosed with stages III and IV CRC, was conducted from January 2016 to December 2021. Twelve CRC patients received one to seven infusions of natural killer (NK)-cell and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL).

Multivariate modelling was used to identify factors associated with health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) scores. (3) After 20 21 days of culture, the NK cells increased 3535-fold, accounting for 85% of the cultured cell population. Likewise, CTLs accounted for 62. 4% of the cultured cell population, which was a 1220-fold increase.

Furthermore, the QoL improved with increased EORTC QLQ-C30 scores, decreased symptom severity, and reduced impairment in daily living caused by these symptoms (MDASI-GI report).

Finally, a 14. 3 14. 1-month increase in mean survival time was observed at study completion. (4) AIET demonstrated safety and improved survival time and HRQoL for CRC patients in Vietnam.
