Trial Information

Phase I Study of Chemokine and Cytokine Gene Modified Allogeneic Neuroblastoma Cells For Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Neuroblastoma Using a Retroviral Vector


Secondary objectives for this protocol included the following:

- To determine whether major histocompatibility complex (MHC) restricted or unrestricted
antitumor immune responses are induced by injection of modified allogeneic neuroblasts
and the cell doses required to produce these effects.

- To obtain preliminary data on the antitumor effects of this treatment regimen.

Inclusion Criteria


- Diagnosis of recurrent advanced stage neuroblastoma.

- Must have a life expectancy of at least 8 weeks.

- Must have recovered from the toxic effects of all prior chemotherapy before entering
this study, and have an absolute neutrophil count of >500/mm3.

- Not be currently receiving any investigational agents or have not received any tumor
vaccines within the previous six months.

- Bilirubin <1.5 mg/dl.

- Creatinine <1.5 mg/dl.

- ECOG performance status of 0-2 as below:

- Does not have rapidly progressive disease.

- Not pregnant or lactating.

Type of Study:
