Vaccine treatment for colorectal cancer liver metastases

Tumor Antigen-sensitized DC Vaccine as an Adjuvant Therapy for R0 Resection of Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases

Phase 1 Interventional West China Hospital · NCT06545630

This study tests a new vaccine to see if it can help patients who have had surgery for colorectal cancer spread to the liver by boosting their immune system to fight any leftover cancer cells.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the safety and effectiveness of a tumor antigen-sensitized dendritic cell vaccine as an adjuvant treatment for patients who have undergone surgery for colorectal cancer liver metastases. The trial focuses on patients who have had a complete resection of their tumors and are at high risk for recurrence. Participants will receive the vaccine postoperatively to potentially enhance their immune response against any remaining cancer cells. The study aims to determine if this innovative approach can improve patient outcomes compared to standard care.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients with pathologically confirmed colorectal cancer who have undergone R0 resection and are at high risk for recurrence.

Not a fit: Patients with active tumor emergencies, abnormal coagulation function, or other serious health conditions may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly reduce the risk of cancer recurrence in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases.

How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches using dendritic cell vaccines have shown promise in other cancers, this specific application in colorectal cancer liver metastases is relatively novel.
