Allogeneic Cellular Vaccine 1650-G for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Rationale: Vaccines made from allogeneic tumor cells may help the body build an effective
immune response to kill tumor cells.
The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a lung cancer vaccine in patients
with Stage I or Stage II Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) after completion of initial
definitive therapies.
immune response to kill tumor cells.
The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a lung cancer vaccine in patients
with Stage I or Stage II Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) after completion of initial
definitive therapies.
The study is an open label investigation of the cellular vaccine called 1650-G. Patients
receive 2 vaccine injections intradermally in the thigh given 4 weeks apart. Patients will be
followed weekly after each vaccine injection and then monthly for 4 months. Patient follow-up
continues with evaluations at 6 months and 1 year after receiving the first vaccine
injection. Immunologic responses to the vaccine will be assessed from blood samples obtained
at each visit following immunizations.
