Study Summary

This is a single center Phase I study to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of autologous dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with allogeneic brain tumor stem cells administered as a vaccination in children and adults with recurrent brain tumors. Once the MTD has been determined, we will conduct a phase II study to determine efficacy. Clinical trials that utilize DCs for immunotherapy have demonstrated significant survival benefit for patients who exhibit robust immune responses against tumor cells. Unfortunately, at the present time the majority of tumor patients are unable to mount an adequate immune response and thus succumb to their tumors. We postulate that the inability to generate an appropriate immune response in these patients is due to a lack of sufficient numbers of appropriate T cells due to an inadequate source of tumor antigens.

Primary Outcome

To determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) as a source of tumor antigen for immunotherapy in children and adults with recurrent GBM, ependymoma or medulloblastoma brain tumors. Toxicity is determined using the criteria established by the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events V 4.0 (CTCAE).
