Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Gastric Cancer, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Prostate, or Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for certified medical advice, travels to or treatment with a real dr.. We aren't doctors. Always consult your mD on Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Gastric Cancer, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Prostate, or Ovarian Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Gastric Cancer, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Prostate, or Ovarian Cancer Clinical research trials and Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Gastric Cancer, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Prostate, or Ovarian Cancer medical trials occur in many of places across the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectiveness of new does drugs. The role of the studies / undertakings is to figure out certain human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to locate treatments for all forms of circumstances, including Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Gastric Cancer, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Prostate, or Ovarian Cancer. Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Gastric Cancer, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Prostate, or Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to get medical treatment options before they are available to the masses. Most times the human subjects acquire treatment for free of charge, and sometimes they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Gastric Cancer, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Prostate, or Ovarian Cancer clinical trial. Participants oftentimes recieve the finest healthcare available for their Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Gastric Cancer, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Prostate, or Ovarian Cancer condition. Dangers are a reality, nonetheless, and might include extra or frequent physician calls, health hazards (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Gastric Cancer, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Prostate, or Ovarian Cancer



Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Gastric Cancer, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Prostate, or Ovarian Cancer

For Condition: Non-small cell lung cancer,adult brain tumor,Prostate Cancer,Gastric Cancer,ovarian epithelial cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Southwest Oncology Group , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a peptide may make the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to compare two different vaccines in treating patients who have gastric cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate, or ovarian cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the toxicity of EGFRvIII peptide vaccine with sargramostim (GM-CSF) or keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) as adjuvant in patients with EGFRvIII-expressing cancer. - Determine the preexisting antibody and T-cell responses to EGFRvIII in these patients. - Determine the antibody and T-cell responses to EGFRvIII peptide after immunization with this vaccine with GM-CSF or KLH as adjuvant. OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to one of two treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients receive a vaccine containing EGFRvIII peptide admixed with sargramostim (GM-CSF) intradermally monthly. - Patients receive a vaccine containing EGFRvIII peptide admixed with keyhole limpet hemocyanin subcutaneously monthly. Treatment in both arms continues for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients (15 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.
