Dendritic cell immunotherapy for solid tumors: evaluation of the DCVax® platform in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme

CNS Oncology
Alia Hdeib, Andrew Edward Sloan

Abstract

DCVax(®) (Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc., MD, USA) is a platform technology for delivering dendritic cell based therapeutic vaccines for a variety of cancers, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). DCVax(®)-L, one of the implementations of the DCVax platform, provides personalized active immunotherapy composed of autologous dendritic cells pulsed with autologous whole tumor lysate. Clinical trials with DCVax-L for GBM included previous Phase I/II clinical trials and an ongoing Phase III trial. Preliminary reports of patient outcomes after administration of the DCVax-L vaccine provide a promising therapeutic paradigm for patients with both initially diagnosed and recurrent GBM. Here we evaluate the current literature and clinical experience with the DCVax platform, with a particular focus on GBM treatment.

Cancer Stem Cells in Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of brain tumor. It contains a population of tumor initiating stem cell-like cells known as cancer stem cells. Investigations are ongoing into these cancer stem cells found in these solid tumors which are highly resistance to treatment. Here is the latest research on cancer stem cells in glioblastoma.

Cancer Vaccines

Cancer vaccines are vaccines that either treat existing cancer or prevent development of a cancer.
