E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this exploratory study is to show immunologic efficacy of tumor-peptide-loaded natural DC in mEC patients. The immune-monitoring will include: a) functional response and dextramer analysis of DTH infiltrating lymphocytes against tumor peptides, b) type I IFN gene expression in PBMC shortly after vaccination, and c) proliferative, effector cytokine- and humoral responses to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), an immunogenic protein providing T cell help. |
Het primaire doel van dit verkennende onderzoek is het aantonen van immunologische werkzaamheid van tumor-peptide-geladen natuurlijke DC in mEC-patiënten die chemotherapie ondergaan. De immuunbewaking omvat: a) functionele respons en dextramer-analyse van DTH-infiltrerende lymfocyten tegen tumorpeptiden, b) type I IFN-genexpressie in PBMC kort na vaccinatie, en c) proliferatieve, effector cytokine- en humorale responsen op hemodonine met sleutelgatzeeslak (KLH), een immunogeen eiwit dat hulp biedt aan T-cellen.

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives are the safety, feasibility and quality of life of natural DC vaccinations in combination with chemotherapy. |
De secundaire doelstellingen zijn de veiligheid, haalbaarheid en kwaliteit van leven van natuurlijke DC-vaccinaties in combinatie met chemotherapie. |
