About this study

Official title: Study of Autologous Dendritic Cells (DC) Loaded With Autologous Tumor Lysate (DC-Vaccine) in Combination With Cytokine-Induced Killer Cell (CIK) in Patients With Renal Cell Cancer

The purpose of this study is to show if vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with tumor lysate in combination with Cytokine-Induced Killer Cell (CIK) can induce a measurable immune response in patients with renal cell carcinoma, and to evaluate the clinical effect of the regimen.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to show if vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with tumor lysate in combination with Cytokine-Induced Killer Cell (CIK) can induce a measurable immune response in patients with renal cell carcinoma, and to evaluate the clinical effect of the regime.

Primary

  1. Determine the clinical responses(objective response, progression-free survival, and overall survival) in patients with renal cell carcinoma treated with autologous dendritic cells (DC) loaded with autologous tumor lysate (DC vaccine) in combination with Cytokine-Induced Killer Cell (CIK).

Secondary

  1. Determine cellular immune response response in terms of immuknow assay, and correlate immune response with objective clinical response in patients treated with this regimen.
  2. Determine safety of multiple administrations of this regimens in these patients.
Being tested
DC-CIK, IL-2/IFN-α
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DC-CIKBiological

    Also called 1

    Patients receive autologous dendritic cells (DC) loaded with autologous tumor lysate (DC vaccine) by endermic injection and infusion of CIK cells.

  • IL-2/IFN-αDrug

    Also called 2

    Patients receive treatment of IL-2 or IFN-α.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective tumor response (complete and partial response), Time to recurrence (TTR), Progression-free(PFS) and overall survival(OS) as measured by RECIST criteria.

    Measured: every 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immunity as measured by T-cell functionality (immuknow assay )to the tumor. Safety as measured by NCI common toxicity table (CTC) at completion of study.

    Measured: at screening, baseline, weeks 4 , 12 and years 1 after first vaccination, and at completion of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing DC-CIK and IL-2/IFN-α in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Fuzhou General Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Mar 2011. 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jianming Tan, Professor (008613375918000, TANJM156@YAHOO.COM.CN), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective tumor response (complete and partial response), Time to recurrence (TTR), Progression-free(PFS) and overall survival(OS) as measured by RECIST criteria. (time frame: every 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 8 Mar 2011.
