About

This is a single-center, single-arm, prospective clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of Neo-DCVac combined with ICIs in the treatment of advanced lung cancer resistant to ICIs.

Full description

The study screened patients with PD-1 immunochemotherapy in the first-line treatment regimen, and extracted tumor tissues from patients after PD-1 resistance for neoantigen prediction. During neoantigen screening and vaccine preparation, patients received a second-line regimen (docetaxel) as bridging therapy. After completion of bridging therapy and the patient 's vaccine preparation was successful, the patient started receiving the vaccine combined with ICIs. The completion of 5 vaccine injections was followed by an immunization course. Efficacy was assessed 2 weeks after the end of an immunization course, and if effective (tumor response evaluated as SD/PR/CR), the next cycle of immunotherapy was continued, with subsequent treatments administered every 3 weeks until disease progression or severe intolerance occurred or the patient requested withdrawal, whichever came first.

(Neo-DCVac) combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)

Experimental group

Description:

DC cell injection ,1.5 × 10 7/time, subcutaneous multi-point injection in axilla and groin or lymph node injection guided by color Doppler ultrasound in axilla and groin, continuous injection at 0W, 1W, 3W, 5W and 7W for five times as the first immunization cycle. Tumor response was evaluated 2 weeks after the completion of the first immunotherapy cycle, and treatment was continued if the response was evaluated as effective (SD/PR/CR), and every 3 weeks until disease progression or intolerable toxicity or active withdrawal of the patient, whichever came first.ICIs are PD1/PD-L1 inhibitors and continue to be pre-enrollment ICIs of any brand
