Phase III Trial of Antigen Pulsed Dendritic Cells (APDC) Combined With Chemotherapy in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of modified FOLFOX6 [mFOLFOX6, a specific chemotherapy regimen of Oxaliplatin ,5-Fluorouracil and Leucovorin] chemotherapy plus Antigen Pulsed Dendritic Cells (APDC，a kind of autologous tumor lysates pulsed human dendritic cells vaccine) with modified chemotherapy alone in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients will be randomly assigned (3:1) to receive either modified FOLFOX6 [mFOLFOX6] chemotherapy combined with Antigen Pulsed Dendritic Cells (Arm APDC + Chemotherapy), or chemotherapy alone (Arm Chemotherapy). Each patient recruited in the study will receive maximum 12 cycles of (14 days/cycle) mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy. Patients in Arm APDC + Chemotherapy will receive APDC vaccination in addition to chemotherapy in the cycle 1-3 and 7-9, and in cycle 4-6 and 10-12 receive only chemotherapy. APDC + Chemotherapy or Chemotherapy will be stopped in case of disease progression, intolerable toxicities, or patient withdrawal with the consent. After 12 cycles, patients in Arm APDC + Chemotherapy will receive 5-Fluorouracil treatment plus every 3 months APDC therapy and patients in Arm Chemotherapy will receive only 5-Fluorouracil treatment. PFS, ORR and OS will be assessed, and toxicity and immunologic effects will be monitored.
