Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to show if vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with tumor lysate in combination with Cytokine-Induced Killer Cell (CIK) can induce a measurable immune response in patients with renal cell carcinoma, and to evaluate the clinical effect of the regimen.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Renal Cell Carcinoma Biological: DC-CIK Drug: IL-2/IFN-α Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The purpose of this study is to show if vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with tumor lysate in combination with Cytokine-Induced Killer Cell (CIK) can induce a measurable immune response in patients with renal cell carcinoma, and to evaluate the clinical effect of the regime.

Primary

1. Determine the clinical responses(objective response, progression-free survival, and overall survival) in patients with renal cell carcinoma treated with autologous dendritic cells (DC) loaded with autologous tumor lysate (DC vaccine) in combination with Cytokine-Induced Killer Cell (CIK).

Secondary

  1. Determine cellular immune response response in terms of immuknow assay, and correlate immune response with objective clinical response in patients treated with this regimen.
  2. Determine safety of multiple administrations of this regimens in these patients.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective tumor response (complete and partial response), Time to recurrence (TTR), Progression-free(PFS) and overall survival(OS) as measured by RECIST criteria. [ Time Frame: every 3 months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Immunity as measured by T-cell functionality (immuknow assay )to the tumor. Safety as measured by NCI common toxicity table （CTC） at completion of study. [ Time Frame: at screening, baseline, weeks 4 , 12 and years 1 after first vaccination, and at completion of study treatment ]
