About this study

Official title: A Phase I Pilot Trial of a Multi-Antigen Loaded Dendritic Cell Vaccine for the Treatment of Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

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 advanced kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the safety of multiantigen loaded dendritic cells (DC) vaccine in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. II. Evaluate the immunologic response to this regimen in this patient population. III. Evaluate the clinical response to this regimen in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a sequential cohort study. All patients undergo total nephrectomy to harvest primary tumor for vaccine preparation. Patients without primary tumor undergo surgical resection of the accessible metastatic site for vaccine preparation. Patients are assigned to 1 of 4 treatment arms. Arm I: Patients receive vaccination with irradiated autologous tumor lysate (TuLy) intradermally (ID) on day 0 followed by vaccination with multiantigen liposome loaded dendritic cells (DC) ID on days 7, 14, and 21. Arm II: Patients receive vaccinations as in arm I, except DC are pulsed with tumor cells. Arm III: Patients receive vaccination with irradiated autologous tumor lysate (TuLy) IV on day 0 followed by vaccination with multiantigen liposome loaded DC IV on days 7, 14, and 21. Arm IV: Patients receive vaccinations as in arm III, except DC are treated as in arm II. Patients are followed on days 28, 42, 70, and 112.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 24 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing dendritic cell vaccine therapy and conventional surgery in people with Kidney Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Aug 2020.
