Trial Information

Peritumoral Injection of Immature Dendritic Cels to Irradiated Metastases of Solid Tumors


Inclusion Criteria:

with at least one tumor deposit that is easily accessible to peri-tumoral DC
injection. The preferred location is subcutaneous or intradermal. Patients with

2. Serum creatinine of 2.0 mg/dl or less.

3. Total bilirubin 1.6 mg/dl or less, except for patients with Gilbert's Syndrome who
must have a total bilirubin less than 3.0 mg/dl.

4. WBC 3000/mm3 or greater.

5. Platelet count 90,000 mm3 or greater.

6. Serum AST/ALT less then two times normal.

7. ECOG performance status of 0, 1 or 2.
