Clinical Trial Summary

This study is carried out to find out the safety and recommended dose of CD137L-DC-EBV-VAX in nasopharyngeal cancer. CD137L-DC-EBV-VAX is a product made from one of our own immune system cells (dendritic cell, DC). Dendritic cells are immune cells that help to stimulate our body's T lymphocytes to fight cancer by presenting specific proteins from the cancer cells. The investigators have developed in the laboratory a highly effective dendritic cell which is primed to activate T cells with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) proteins. It is hoped that this will stir an immune response to recognize NPC cells and kill them as part of body's immune surveillance system.


Clinical Trial Description

This study will involve two cohorts of patients, A and B. Patients are invited because they have either (A) locally recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer; or (B) stage 4 locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (N2 or N3 disease and/or T4) and is known to be associated with a high risk of distant relapse.
