A phase I/IIa clinical trial in stage IV melanoma of an autologous tumor–dendritic cell fusion (dendritoma) vaccine with low dose interleukin-2
Conclusions
The dendritoma vaccine has minimal toxicity profile with potential clinical benefit. There was OS advantage for NED stage IV patients, those receiving higher number of doses and increased frequency.
Based on these results, we initiated a phase IIb trial utilizing improved dendritoma technology in the adjuvant setting for NED stage III/IV melanoma patients.
