DEND/TIA: Dendritic Cell-based Immunotherapy for Advanced Solid Tumours of Children and Young Adults
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Phase I/II, open, prospective clinical trial, historically controlled. The objective is to evaluate the safety and, as a secondary measure, the efficacy of an experimental treatment based on a cellular therapy (vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with tumor lysate) in patients affected of metastatic or relapsed sarcomas or (Central Nervous System) CNS tumors.

Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Phase I/II, open, prospective clinical trial, historically controlled. Patients affected of metastatic or relapsed sarcomas or (Central Nervous System) CNS tumors will be included. The patients will receive standard treatment and experimental treatment based on a cellular therapy with vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with tumor lysate. The immunization schedule includes 4 monthly vaccines, 4 bimonthly and quarterly remaining vaccines. The vaccines will be administered intradermally in combination with standard treatment for each type of tumor.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number and type of adverse events detected in the follow up as a measure of safety and tolerability [24 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Event free progression, overall survival, time to progression and number and size of existent tumoral lesions as measures of clinical efficacy [36 months]
- Humoral and cellular immune response as a measure of the immunogenicity of the vaccine. [2 weeks to 24 months]
- Quality of life measured with QLQ-C30, QLQ-BN20 questionnaires. [36 months]
