The primary objective of this study was to determine the safety of RMBs in advanced, treatment-resistant metastatic cancers, and then its efficacy (survival), which is the secondary objective %K solid tumors %K cell-based therapeutics %K cancer system biology %K gastrointestinal cancer %K cancer clinical trial %K colorectal cancer treatment %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4972125/
