Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Primary Outcomes The primary objective of this trial is to test the safety of formulations containing dendritic cells (DCs) and natural killer (NK) cells cultured in vitro. By evaluating the reactions following the administration of autologous dendritic cells via axillary lymph node injection and natural killer cells via intravenous injection, the study aims to determine the safety profile of these trial products for human use. Secondary Outcomes To verify the success rate of the cultured cell formulations and assess the cytotoxic capacity of natural killer cells in targeting and killing tumor cells. The evaluation of these secondary objectives involves analyzing specific subcategories, which can be divided into two major components: 1. Validation of Cultured Cell Preparation Success: Assessing the proliferation rate, recovery rate, survival rate, and tumor-killing capacity of the cultured autologous dendritic cells and natural killer cells. 2. Validation of Antitumor Effectiveness: Evaluating the antitumor efficacy of the trial products administered via axillary lymph node injection of autologous dendritic cells and intravenous infusion of autologous natural killer cells.

- description
- The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety profile of in vitro-cultured dendritic cells (DCs) and natural killer (NK) cells. Specifically, the study will assess adverse reactions, including incidence, type, and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events, following administration of autologous DCs via axillary lymph node injection and NK cells via intravenous injection.
