Combination Immunotherapy for Lung Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Vaccine Treatment, Cyclophosphamide, and 1 other intervention for Lung Cancer. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and/or bad) a tumor vaccine used in combination with two drugs (ATRA and cytoxan) have on the patient and their cancer. We also want to find out if the vaccine and the drugs can boost the patient's immune system and how their immune system reacts, both before and after the vaccine treatment.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
We created a vaccine in which irradiated allogeneic lung adenocarcinoma cells are combined with a bystander K562 cell line transfected with hCD40L and hGM-CSF. By recruiting and activating dendritic cells, we hypothesized the vaccine would induce tumor regression in metastatic lung adenocarcinoma. Intradermal vaccine was given every 14 days x3, followed by monthly x3.
Cyclophosphamide (300 mg/m\^2 IV) was administered before 1st and 4th vaccines to deplete regulatory T-cells.
All-trans retinoic acid was given (150/mg/m\^2/day) after 1st and 4th vaccines to enhance dendritic differentiation.
