Vaccine Therapy and Interleukin-2 in Treating Young Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Ewing's Sarcoma or Neuroblastoma

NCT00101309

Phase 1 Unknown 10 enrolled Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
Treatment

Summary

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's tumor cells and white blood cells may make the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) may stimulate the white blood cells to kill tumor cells. Biological therapies, such as cellular adoptive immunotherapy, stimulate the immune system and stop tumor cells from growing. Giving vaccine therapy with IL-2 may be a more effective treatment for Ewing's sarcoma or neuroblastoma. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of vaccine therapy when given with IL-2 in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory Ewing's sarcoma or neuroblastoma.
