HSPPC-96 Vaccine With Temozolomide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed GBM

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors

In brief

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well HSPPC-96 (vitespen) and temozolomide work in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme. Vaccines made from a person's tumor cells and heat shock protein peptide may help the body to build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving HSPPC-96 (vitespen) together with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells.
