Study summary

The trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of MUC-1/WT-1 peptide and/or tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cell Immunotherapy for the patients with pancreatic cancer

Read the detailed description

The trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of dendritic cell Immunotherapy for the patients with pancreatic cancer. Dendritic cells are obtained from blood monocytes using standard protocol.

Two options for dendritic cell priming are used: MUC-1/WT-1 peptides for the patients with unresectable tumor and/or tumor lysates for the patients undergoing tumor resection.

The dendritic cells are them matured and injected subcutaneous (all patients) and intratumorally (when possible).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • refuse of patient to participate in the trial;

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
