Vaccination With Autologous Dendritic Cells Pulsed With Tumor Antigens for Treatment of Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma.A Phase I/II Study.
Eligible patients receive vaccination with tumor antigen pulsed autologous monocyte-derived
mature dendritic cells with a fixed interval. The dendritic cells are generated from
leukapheresis products and frozen after antigen loading.
HLA A2 positive patients are treated with PADRE and oncopeptide pulsed DC; survivin and
telomerase peptides. HLA A2 negative patients are treated with KLH and tumorlysate pulsed
DC; autologous or allogeneic. Each patient is given 6 immunizations with at least 5x106
peptide/lysate pulsed autologous DC. Vaccination 1-4 is given weekly and 4-6 at 2-week
intervals. Those patients who exhibit stable disease, partial response or complete response
after 6 injections will be given 4 more vaccinations at 2-week interval. The vaccine is
applied by intradermal injection near the inguinal region. IL-2 2 MIU s.c. day 2-6 and
Thymosin alpha 1 (Zadaxin®, SciClone) 1,6 mg s.c. twice a week are used for adjuvants. Scans
and re-staging tests are performed at scheduled intervals throughout the study.
