Re-MATCH Trial Summary

This trial will use immunotherapy to treat brain tumors in children.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults up to 30 years old with a first recurrence of medulloblastoma or primitive neuroectodermal tumors after radiotherapy. Participants need stable neurological function, adequate blood counts, normal kidney and liver function, and must agree to use birth control. Those with genetic risks for radiation-induced cancers are also eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests tumor-specific immune cells (TTRNA-xALT) and dendritic cell vaccines (TTRNA-DCs) on about 35 patients with recurrent brain tumors. It aims to see how these immunotherapies affect the tumor's progression based on prior success in adult cancer treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, immunotherapy can generally cause flu-like symptoms, fatigue, rash, fever, chills, weakness or dizziness. More serious reactions might include changes in blood pressure or heart rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this research endeavor recruiting participants at the present time?

"Unfortunately, clinicaltrials.gov does not indicate that this investigation is actively recruiting at this juncture. This trial was initially posted on September 7th 2010 and last modified on the 1st of July 2022; however, 87 other trials are still seeking participants right now."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA validated TTRNA-DCs for therapeutic application?

"Since this is a Phase 2 trial, and there is no current data attesting to its efficacy but some evidence of safety, our team at Power has assigned TTRNA-DCs a score of 2 on the 1 - 3 scale."
