Super DC cell injections to prevent tumor recurrence after surgery.

Official title: Exploratory Study of Super DC Cell Injection in Preventing Recurrence After Radical Surgery for Tumors

Run by Shanghai Cell Therapy Group Co.,Ltd · NCT07146672 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will test whether injections of a Super DC vaccine can help prevent solid tumors from coming back in adults who have had their tumors completely removed.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18–80 with resected malignant solid tumors, no residual or metastatic disease on recent imaging, ECOG 0–1, adequate blood and organ function, and (for the safety stage) tumor IHC positive for Survivin, P53, or MUC1 are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with residual tumor, distant or brain metastases, ECOG >1, inadequate blood counts or organ function, or who cannot undergo PBMC collection are unlikely to benefit from this trial.

What this trial studies

This is an open-label, controlled Phase 1/2 exploratory trial testing perioperative injections of a Super dendritic cell (Super DC) vaccine in patients who have undergone radical resection of malignant solid tumors. Eligible adults (18–80 years) with no evidence of disease on imaging and ECOG 0–1 will have peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected and receive one or more Super DC injections, with safety and recurrence monitored over time. A safety verification stage requires tumor immunohistochemistry positive for Survivin, P53, or MUC1, and patients will be followed with serial imaging and clinical assessments to compare recurrence rates to a control arm receiving standard follow-up. The trial is sponsored by Shanghai Cell Therapy Group and conducted at Shanghai Mengchao Tumor Hospital.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the vaccine could lower the risk of cancer coming back after surgery and extend disease-free survival.

How similar studies have gone: Dendritic cell vaccines have shown mixed results historically—sipuleucel-T showed a survival benefit in prostate cancer but many other DC vaccine trials have had limited or variable success—so this approach is partly tested but not broadly proven.
