Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Age over 18 years old • Histologically confirmed primary epithelial ovarian cancer • Not amenable by primary debulking surgery and in need of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval debulking • High-grade serous histology • FIGO stage IIIb, IIIc, IVa or IVb if only lymph nodes
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Recurrent ovarian cancer • History of any second malignancy, with the exception of adequately treated basal cell carcinoma, cervical cancer > 5 years ago or early stage breast cancer >10 years ago. • Any serious clinical condition that may interfere with the safe administration of DC vaccinations or renders patient ineligible for combined carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapies • Active infection of Hepatitis B, C, HIV and syphilis or any other serious active infection • Known allergy to shell fish • Auto immune disease (exception: vitiligo is permitted) • Chronic treatment with systemic immunosuppressive drugs (i.e. more than 10 mg prednisolone equivalent)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint of the study is the immune response enhanced or induced by autologous tumor lysate-loaded XP-DC in epithelial ovarian cancer patients. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints are - the safety and feasibility of tumor lysate-loaded XP-DC vaccinations. Safety will be evaluated by adverse events, WHO/ECOG performance status, physical examinations and laboratory tests. Toxicity will be assessed according to CTCAE version 4.3; - changes in the immunological landscape in tumor material and mutational status after chemotherapy combined with vaccination with DC vaccines; - clinical efficacy (number with pathological response to chemotherapy, number with complete interval debulking, progression free survival, overall survival; | — |
