Brief Summary

Monocentric, phase I study for advanced sarcoma with adoptive immunotherapy with Cytokine-Induced Killer (CIK).

In the first part of the study Patient's' peripheral blood will be collected and CIK cell expansion and storage will occur at the Regina Margherita Children's Hospital Cell Factory.

In the second part of the study the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) will be determined in order to find the Recommended Dose for Phase II (RP2D)
