A Phase I and Feasibility Trial of Heat Shock Protein Peptide Complex-96 (HSPPC-96) Vaccine for Pediatric Patients With Newly Diagnosed Intracranial High Grade Glioma and Recurrent Resectable Intracranial High Grade Glioma and Ependymoma
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Heat Shock Protein Peptide Complex-96 (HSPPC-96) Vaccine is an feasible and safe treatment for pediatric patients with newly-diagnosed High-Grade Gliomas or recurrent, resectable High-Grade Gliomas and Ependymomas.
• Arm A: Newly Diagnosed High Grade Glioma Tumor
• Arm B: Recurrent, resectable High Grade Glioma or Ependymoma
• Stable Neurologic Status
• Lanksy/Karnofsky score greater than or equal to 50.
• Adequate Bone Marrow Function (ANC≥ 1000/μL, platelets≥ 100,000/μL transfusion independent, Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 gm/dL with or without transfusion support)
• Adequate Liver Function (Bilirubin ≤ 2x institutional normal for age, Alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 5x institutional normal for age, Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 5x institutional normal for age)
• Adequate Renal Function (Normal creatinine for age and/or glomerular filtration rate ≥ 70 mls/min/1.73 m2)
• Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test
