GREENVILLE, S.C. (WLOS) — An individualized treatment for cancer?

King is one of three patients participating in a basket trial designated for solid tumor cancers. The FDA defines a basket trial as a drug studied across multiple cancer populations. [[ King is being treated for Ovarian ]]

The other patients, from Wisconsin and California, have brain and breast cancer, respectively.

King's involvement in the basket trial is one of happenstance.

Riley Polk is president of Orbis Health Solutions, the biotechnology company behind the vaccine King is receiving.

THE NEXT BIG ADVANCE IN CANCER TREATMENT COULD BE A VACCINE

In 2017, Polk's 18-year-old daughter Carson and King were being treated at the same cancer facility.

Orbis founder Dr. Tom Wagner had spent the previous two decades developing cancer immunotherapies specifically for melanoma, but they were getting ready to expand the study.

“At the time, they were thinking we’re just going to get into ovarian cancer vaccines, and that’s when we all just went, 'Please keep Catie in mind when you get to that point.' And so now it’s great that it’s not just ovarian, it’s any kind,” Catie's mom Leslie Green said. “It’s any solid tissue.”
