Brief Title: Dendritic Cell Vaccine Therapy With In Situ Maturation in Pediatric Brain Tumors
Official Title: A Phase I Study of Dendritic Cell Vaccine Therapy With In Situ Maturation for Pediatric Brain Tumors
Study ID: NCT01902771
Brief Summary: DC vaccine manufactured and partially matured using our standard operating procedures, developed in collaboration with the HGG Immuno Group, then administered through imiquimod treated skin will be safe and feasible in children with refractory brain tumors. This will result in anti-tumor immunity that will prolong survival of subjects treated and results will be consistent with the outcomes found for subjects treated by HGG Immuno Group investigators. Study treatment will correlate with laboratory evidence of immune activation. Correlative studies will also reveal targets in the immune system which can be exploited to improve response for patients on successor trials.
