研究概览
简要总结
To determine if a vaccine made from the 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
To study the toxicity, safety and DTH response of DNP-modified autologous ovarian tumor cell vaccine and the DTH response to unmodified ovarian tumor cells in patients with relapsed ovarian cancer:
- To determine the tolerability and toxicity of the treatment regimen
- To determine whether O-Vax induces a DTH response to autologous, DNP-modified ovarian cancer cells
- To determine whether O-Vax induces a DTH response to autologous, unmodified ovarian cancer cells
Study Population: Patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer whose therapeutic tumor surgery provides a mass which yields adequate tumor cells for vaccine preparation and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) testing
Study Design: A Phase I/IIa double-blind, three-dose, multi-center study
Investigational Product: O-Vax: DNP-modified autologous ovarian tumor cell vaccine
