Where did you receive this study from? Interesting as I've had 3 lines of chemotherapy and have active peritoneal cancer and my oncologist is Dr. Seery and this study was never mentioned to me. I wonder which mutations it works on. I was referred to Dr in charge of clinical studies, but there were none for KRAS, TP53, ATM (VUS), or for my new mutation SMAD4.

I found it on-line. A friend had pointed my in the direction of Anktiva and ImmunityBio.
The founder and developer is Dr. Patrick Soon-Schiong. He was a pancreatic surgeon early in his career. Later he developed Abraxane which many of us are familiar with. So he's no fly-by-night.
He's given some recent interviews and so you can find them on Youtube.
My medical team was also unaware of this until last week.
