PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cytheris SA, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on research and development of new therapies for immune modulation, today announced the publication of data from a phase 1 dose escalation study evaluating the effects of IL-7 therapy on human lymphocytes in subjects with non-hematologic, non-lymphoid cancer refractory to standard therapy. The results of this study, performed in collaboration with U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) investigators lead by Claude Sportès, Crystal Mackall and Ronald Gress, support the potential of the IL-7 investigational product as an immunotherapy for the treatment of patients with impaired immunity due to physiologic (age), iatrogenic (chemotherapy or transplantation) or pathologic (HIV) lymphodepletion.
