Anti-cancer DC Cell Vaccination to Treat Solid Tumors

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
DC
Solid Tumor, Adult
Registration Number
NCT06477614
Lead Sponsor
Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University
Brief Summary

Placental or tumor-derived heat shock protein gp96 is collected, purified, and stored. The DC cells are isolated from the patient's blood and then cocultured with the gp96 to obtain the activated DC cell product. The manufactured DC cells are subcutaneously or intra-tumor injected into the patient. Clinical studies will be performed to test anti-cancer function of the DC vaccination for immunotherapy of cancer patients. In this phase I study, the safety, tolerance, and preliminary efficacy of the DC vaccine immunotherapy on advanced cancers will firstly be evaluated.

Detailed Description

1. Choose appropriate patients with advanced solid cancers, with written consent for this study;

2. Perform biopsy to get fresh sample for generation gp96 protein; Collect DC cells from the cancer patient;

3. Produce appropriate DC cell vaccine and deliver the vaccine into selected patients via local injections, and follow up closely to collect related results as required;

4. To enhance the killing capability, cotreatment the patients with vaccine aduvants or PD1/PDL1/CTLA4 antibodies may be applied;

5. Evaluate the clinical results as needed.

PARALLEL
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Patients with Dose Limiting ToxicitySix months

A dose limiting toxicity is defined as any toxicity that is considered to be primarily related to the vaccine, which is irreversible, or life threatening or hematologic or non-hematologic Grade 3-5.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent of Patients with best response as either complete remission or partial remission.Six months

Response rates will be estimated as the percent of patients whose best response is either complete remission or partial remission by combining the data from the patients. To compare with historical data, a 95% confidence interval will be calculated for the response rate.
