简要总结
RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who have stage IV head and neck cancer.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxic effects of recombinant fowlpox-TRICOM vaccine in patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity or oropharynx or nodal or dermal metastases.
- Determine the safety profile of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine the clinical activity of this regimen, in terms of inflammation at injection site(s) and disease regression or stabilization, in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive recombinant fowlpox-TRICOM vaccine (rF-TRI) intralesionally once on weeks 0, 3, and 8. Beginning on week 16, patients may receive additional rF-TRI once every 8 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of rF-TRI until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
