Purpose

This treatment study for relapsed high-risk neuroblastoma, Ewings sarcoma, osteogenic sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma or synovial sarcoma involves an autologous cancer testis (CT) antigen specific dendritic cell (DC) vaccine preceded by decitabine as a demethylating chemotherapy.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Tolerance of study treatment [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Tolerance to DAC, at at least 50% dosing, and 3 of the 4 planned vaccinations during the first two cycles.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Tumor Response [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Assessment of tumor responses--complete or partial remission, stable disease, and disease progression--by CT/PET/MIBG or MRI after cycles 2 and 4.
Immune Response [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Assessment of post-vaccination T cell responses to MAGE-A1, MAGE-A3, and NY-ESO-1 by immunoassays.


Estimated Enrollment:	15
Study Start Date:	August 2010
Estimated Study Completion Date:	December 2015
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	August 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Single arm study Biological/Vaccine: Autologous dendritic cell vaccine with adjuvant	Biological: Autologous dendritic cell vaccine with adjuvant Week 1: Decitabine (DAC): 10 mg/m2/day IV (Mon-Fri) Weeks 2 and 3: Vaccine: 3-5 E6 peptide pulsed DC (Mon) Hiltonol applied topically to vaccine site before and after vaccination Other Names: Decitabine (trade name Dacogen or 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine/DAC Hiltonol

Detailed Description:

For vaccine production, mature DC will be pulsed with overlapping peptides mixes derived from full-length NY-ESO-1, MAGE-A1, and MAGE-A3.
