DC Vaccine Combined With CIK Cells in Patients With Esophagus Cancer

Clinical Research of Genetically Modified Dendritic Cells in Combination With Cytokine-induced Killer Cell Treatment in Middle and Advanced Esophagus Cancer Patients

The aim of this Phase I/II study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dendritic cells(DC) combined with cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells in patients with advanced esophagus cancer. Experimental recombinant adenovirus coded mRNA including MUC1 and Survivin that transfected DC, which are used for DC-based immunotherapy. Based on the results of our previously performed preclinical study with DC vaccine combined with CIK cells, the researcher plan to perform the clinical trial.
