Answer:
There are no approved gene therapy treatments for cancer. Research experiments are being done on animals and in vitro (cell cultures) with engineered virus and plasmid vectors to deliver genes to override the oncogenes in cancer cells.
There are problems including how to target the cancer cells, how to prevent an immune response against the virus/plasmid vectors, integration of the new gene into the proper location in the genome and, overcoming a dominant oncogene.
I am not aware of any being available yet. Do you know of a human research trial? Or are you talking about the monoclonal antibody study drug?
