Safety Modified Retroviruses During Therapy for Ovarian Cancer

Abstract

The investigators proposed to use safety-modified retroviruses to carry chemotherapy resistance genes into bone marrow precursor cells of patients with ovarian cancer. If these cells are rendered resistant to the toxic effects of chemotherapy, it would permit the safe delivery of sufficient doses of chemotherapy to eradicate neoplasms which are resistant to low doses of these agents. Two patients participated in this project on the CRC. Although Dr. Deisseroth left the University of Texas in 1996, he will continue to keep us informed on the results of the study as data is analyzed and published.
