Trial Notes:
Purpose
The use of adjuvant vaccination with autologous dendritic cells (DC) matured in situ after being loaded with tumor lysates derived from autologous refractory sarcoma tissue will be safe, feasible and potentially beneficial for patients diagnosed with sarcoma. This vaccination will result in evidence of immune stimulation against tumor antigens. In addition, combining myeloid derived supressor cells (MDSC) inhibition using gemcitabine with DC vaccination in this method will be safe and feasible and show improved immune parameters over DC vaccination without MDSC inhibition.
