Dendritic Cell Vaccination With Standard Postoperative Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Adult Ovarian Cancer

Effective treatments are desperately needed for ovarian cancer patients. This phase I clinical trial assesses the safety of a novel personalized dendritic-cell vaccine administered to ovarian cancer patients. Secondary outcomes will be evaluated such as patient pharmacodynamics， progression-free survival and overall survival.
