Vaccination using immune cells to treat solid tumors

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase 1 clinical trial evaluates the safety and preliminary efficacy of a dendritic cell (DC) vaccine derived from heat shock protein gp96 to treat patients with advanced solid tumors. The process involves collecting DC cells from the patient's blood, co-culturing them with gp96, and then injecting the activated DC cells back into the patient. The study aims to assess the anti-cancer function of this immunotherapy approach while monitoring for safety and tolerance. Additionally, patients may receive adjuvants or immune checkpoint inhibitors to enhance the vaccine's effectiveness.
