简要总结
The overall objective of this pilot study is to collect immunological and safety data following administration of vaccinations with HLA-A2. This data will be used to decide whether a larger study of clinical efficacy is warranted.

排除标准
- •Patients living outside of North America are not eligible.
- •Presence of metastatic disease for patients in Stratum A, B, D and E. Patients with low grade gliomas (stratum C) may have tumor spread within the CNS.
- •Patients in Stratum F must have tumor spread within the CNS.
- •Patients enrolled in Strata A and B may not have received any prior chemotherapy or anti-glioma therapy of any type other than radiation therapy. Patients enrolled on stratum C must have received at least two prior chemotherapy or biologic therapy regimens and may not have received radiation to the index lesion within 1 year of enrollment. Patients on Strata A, B, E, and F can not have received chemotherapy after radiation therapy was completed.
- •Concurrent treatment or medications (must be off for at least 1 week) including:
- •Interferon (e.g. Intron-A®)
- •Allergy desensitization injections
- •Growth factors (e.g. Procrit®, Aranesp®, Neulasta®)
- •Interleukins (e.g. Proleukin®)
- •Any investigational therapeutic medication
- •Patients must not have a history of, or currently active autoimmune disorders.
- •Use of immunosuppressives within four weeks prior to study entry. Dexamethasone, or other corticosteroid medications, if used in the peri-operative period and/or during radiotherapy, must be tapered (no more than 0.1 mg/kg/day, max 4 mg/day dexamethasone) for at least one week before study registration. Topical corticosteroids are acceptable.
- •Patients with known addiction to alcohol or illicit drugs.
