Personalized Tumor Vaccine Strategy and PD-1 Blockade in Patients With Follicular Lymphoma

Summary

Follicular lymphoma (FL) has a number of effective standard of care therapies; however, FL is not currently considered curable. Therefore, designing well tolerated therapies without cumulative and long-term toxicity is critical. This is a pilot safety and feasibility study that combines a personalized tumor vaccine with nivolumab for the treatment of FL. Patients who demonstrate progression on this study may be treated with rituximab (or another monoclonal antibody against CD20) in addition to vaccine therapy with nivolumab at the discretion of treating physician if clinically indicated.
