Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Heat Shock Protein Peptide Complex-96 (HSPPC-96) Vaccine is an feasible and safe treatment for pediatric patients with newly-diagnosed High-Grade Gliomas or recurrent, resectable High-Grade Gliomas and Ependymomas.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (2)
- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Newly Diagnosed High Grade Glioma (HGG)
- description
- Heat Shock Protein Peptide Complex-96 (HSPPC-96) therapy will be given between 0-28 days after the completion of radiation therapy (XRT) AND no more than 60 days from completion of XRT. Vaccine will be given once weekly for 4 weeks. The 4 weeks (28 days) of vaccine administration will be followed by an observation visit. In patients with sufficient vaccine (on both Arms A and B), a maintenance therapy will be instituted. It will be administered at the same dose the patient was enrolled at and given every 2 weeks until vaccine is exhausted or there is evidence of tumor progression. The first dose of maintenance vaccine should be administered 7 days after completion of the observation visit.

- description
- On Arm B, Heat Shock Protein Peptide Complex-96 (HSPPC-96) will be given as soon as possible after tumor resection post-operative recovery and sufficient time for vaccine preparation (typically 0-28 days post-operatively) AND no more than 60 days post-operatively. Vaccine will be given once weekly for 4 weeks. These 4 weeks (28 days) of vaccines will be followed by an observation visit. In patients with sufficient vaccine, a maintenance therapy will be given. It will be given at the same dose the patient was enrolled at and given every 2 weeks until vaccine is exhausted or there is evidence of tumor progression. The first dose of maintenance vaccine should be given 7 days after completion of the observation visit.
