Decitabine Followed by a Cancer Antigen Vaccine for Patients With Neuroblastoma and Sarcoma
A Phase I Trial Combining Decitabine and Vaccine Therapy for Patients With Relapsed Neuroblastoma and Sarcoma.

This treatment study for relapsed high-risk neuroblastoma, Ewings sarcoma, osteogenic sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma or synovial sarcoma involves an autologous cancer testis (CT) antigen specific dendritic cell (DC) vaccine preceded by decitabine as a demethylating chemotherapy.

For vaccine production, mature DC will be pulsed with overlapping peptides mixes derived from full-length NY-ESO-1, MAGE-A1, and MAGE-A3.
