Summary

The goal of this study is to apply allogeneic tumor cell vaccination for immunotherapy in patients with micro-metastatic disease and/or in patients at high risk disease progression. The present study will use allogeneic tumor cell lines for tumor cell vaccines that share MHC determinants with the patient aiming to overcome possible restriction of antigen presentation.

Clinical Details

Official title: Allogeneic Tumor Cell Vaccination in Patients With Solid Tumors

Study design: Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Investigate the feasibility of anti-tumor immune response by allogeneic tumor cell vaccine using tumor cells that share MHC determinants with the patient.

Secondary outcome: Investigate the feasibility of immune responses against cancer cells by combining allogeneic TCV with indomethacin, cimetidine, tetanus and rIL-2.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients with measurable metastatic disease or disease resistant to chemotherapy or

with minimal residual disease at high risk to relapse.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Karnofsky less than 60%. Unrelated condition requiring the use of any cytotoxic

agents or immunosuppressive agents which may interfere with optimal immune response.
