简要总结
To determine if a vaccine made from patient's own tumor tissue can stimulate an immune response against the patient's tumor cells. To determine the safety of the vaccine
详细描述
Study Objectives: To study the toxicity, safety and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses of DNP-modified autologous tumor cell vaccine (L-Vax) in patients with resectable NSCLC:
- To determine the tolerability and toxicity of L-Vax
- To determine whether L-Vax induces a DTH response to autologous, DNP-modified NSCLC cells of similar magnitude to responses observed with melanoma
- Determine whether L-Vax induces a DTH response to autologous unmodified NSCLC cells
- To determine whether the DTH responses to autologous, unmodified NSCLC cells that have been fixed with ethanol correlate with DTH responses to autologous, unmodified NSCLC cells that are not fixed
Study Population: Patients with resectable NSCLC whose therapeutic tumor surgery provides a mass, which yields adequate tumor, cells for vaccine preparation and DTH testing
Study Design: A Phase I/IIa double-blind, three-dose, single center study
Investigational Product: L-Vax: DNP-modified autologous NSCLC cell vaccine
