Trial Information

A Randomized Phase II Study Investigating the Route of Administration of Oncophage (HSPPC-96) in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma


The goal of this trial is to determine the safety of HSPPC-96 and which route of
administration achieves a better response with the vaccine. HSPPC-96 is an immunotherapeutic
agent made from an individual patient's tumor. The study is being conducted in Houston,
Texas with patients enrolled into one of two treatment arms. The two treatment arms are
either subcutaneous injection or intradermal injection, both with HSPPC-96. To be treated
with HSPPC-96 patients must undergo surgery to remove the kidney tumor and a portion of this
tissue will be sent to Antigenics' manufacturing facility for processing.
