CHESAT Trial Summary

This trial will test the safety of a new combination vaccine for patients with high risk neuroblastoma, as well as its ability to elicit an immune response and shrink tumors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals under 21 years old with high-risk neuroblastoma, who are about to have stem cell rescue after intense chemotherapy. They must not be pregnant, HIV positive, or have received other vaccines or investigational agents in the past six months. Participants should agree to effective birth control during and for six months post-trial.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of two allogeneic neuroblastoma tumor cell line vaccines combined with IL-2/Lptn secretion on patients with high-risk neuroblastoma undergoing chemotherapy and autologous stem cell rescue as consolidation therapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune response due to the vaccine components (IL-2/Lptn), such as inflammation at injection site, fever, fatigue, allergic reactions, and possibly autoimmune-like symptoms.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Evaluate the safety of repeated immunization with gene-modified, IL-2/lymphotactin secreting SJNB-JF-IL2 and SJNB-JF-Lptn cells co-administered with the unmodified SKNLP neuroblastoma cell line.
Secondary outcome measures
Evaluate the immune response to these immunizations.
