Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an international, open label, randomized phase 3 trial in which patients with surgically removable kidney cancer will be randomly selected post-operatively to receive adjuvant treatment with autologous HSPPC-96 or no adjuvant treatment. All patients will undergo complete surgical removal of their tumors.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an international, open label, randomized Phase 3 trial in which patients with surgically removable kidney cancer will be randomly selected post-operatively to receive adjuvant treatment with HSPPC-96 or no adjuvant treatment. All patients will undergo complete surgical removal of their tumors.

The primary objective of the study is to determine whether patients who receive adjuvant autologous HSPPC-96 (treatment group) after surgical resection of locally advanced renal cell carcinoma have improved recurrence-free survival as compared to patients who are not receiving adjuvant treatment (observation group). Eligible patients will have a 50% chance of receiving adjuvant treatment with HSPPC-96. Patients in the treatment arm of the trial will receive the vaccine once a week for 4 weeks, and then every other week until vaccine depletion or disease recurrence. Both groups of patients will be followed regularly for assessment of their disease status.

HSPPC-96 is an investigational, immunotherapeutic agent made from an individual patient's own tumor, which is collected at the time of surgery. A portion of the tumor tissue is sent to Antigenics' manufacturing facility where it will undergo processing to create a vaccine.
