What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The purpose of this study is to estimate the probability of immune response for the combination treatment of dendritic cell vaccine with oral cabozantinib and characterize the safety profile of interventional therapy.

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically proven clear cell renal cancer that is non-metastatic and amenable to surgical resection with no evidence of metastatic disease or lesions outside of the kidney. 2. 18 years or older (male or female) with an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. 3. Have serotype HLA-A2+ if receiving vaccine. 4. Capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements and have signed the informed consent document. 5. Adequate organ and marrow function, based upon meeting all of the following laboratory criteria within 14 days before first dose of study treatment: 1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/µL without granulocyte colony- stimulating factor support. 2. White blood cell count ≥ 2500/µL. 3. Platelets ≥ 100,000/µL without transfusion. 4. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (≥ 90 g/L). 5. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 3x upper limit of normal (ULN). ALP ≤ 5x ULN with documented bone metastases. 6. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x ULN (for subjects with Gilbert's disease ≤ 3x ULN). 7. Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dl 8. (PT)/INR or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test \< 1.3x the laboratory ULN 9. Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 ULN or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min (≥ 0.5 mL/sec) using the Cockcroft-Gault equation: Males: (140 - age) x weight (kg)/(serum creatinine \[mg/dL\] × 72) Females: \[(140 - age) x weight (kg)/(serum creatinine \[mg/dL\] × 72)\] × 0.85 10. Urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≤ 1 mg/mg (≤ 113.2 mg/mmol), or 24-h urine protein ≤ 1 6. Sexually active fertile subjects and their partners must agree to use medically accepted methods of contraception (e.g., barrier methods, including male condom, female condom, or diaphragm with spermicidal gel) during the course of the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study treatment. 7. Female subjects of childbearing potential must not be pregnant at screening. Female subjects are considered to be of childbearing potential unless one of the following criteria are met: documented permanent sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) or documented postmenopausal status (defined as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman \> 45 years-of-age in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. In addition, females \< 55 years-of-age must have a serum follicle stimulating (FSH) level \> 40 mIU/mL to confirm menopause). Note: Documentation may include review of medical records, medical examinations, or medical history interview by study site. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Current (within the preceding 6 weeks) treatment with systemic immunosuppressive agents including steroids except when they are administered as replacement therapy for endocrine dysfunction and do not exceed 10 mg prednisone or equivalent daily. 2. Known or suspected metastatic disease. 3. Active Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C infection or any other active infection requiring intravenous therapy. 4. Blood transfusion within two weeks prior to leukapheresis. 5. Prior treatment with cabozantinib. 6. Receipt of any type of small molecule kinase inhibitor (including investigational kinase inhibitor) within two weeks before first dose of study treatment. 7. Receipt of any type of cytotoxic, biologic or other systemic anticancer therapy (including investigational) within four weeks before first dose of study treatment. 8. Radiation therapy for bone metastasis within 2 weeks or any other radiation therapy within 4 weeks before first dose of study treatment. Systemic treatment with radionuclides within 6 weeks before first dose of study treatment. Subjects with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior radiation therapy are not eligible. 9. Concomitant anticoagulation with coumarin agents (e.g., warfarin), direct thrombin inhibitors (e.g., dabigatran), direct factor Xa inhibitor betrixaban, or platelet inhibitors (e.g., clopidogrel). Allowed anticoagulants are the following: 1. Prophylactic use of low-dose aspirin for cardio-protection (per local applicable guidelines) and low-dose low molecular weight heparins (LMWH). 2. Therapeutic doses of LMWH or anticoagulation with direct factor Xa inhibitors rivaroxaban, edoxaban, or apixaban in subjects without known brain metastases who are on a stable dose of the anticoagulant for at least 1 week before first dose of study treatment without clinically significant hemorrhagic complications from the anticoagulation regimen or the tumor. 10. Prothrombin time (PT/INR) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test ≥ 1.3 X the laboratory ULN within 7 days before the first dose of study treatment. 11. The subject has uncontrolled, significant intercurrent or recent illness including, but not limited to, the following conditions: a. Cardiovascular disorders: i. Congestive heart failure New York Heart Association Class 3 or 4, unstable angina pectoris, serious cardiac arrhythmias. ii. Uncontrolled hypertension defined as sustained blood pressure (BP) \> 140 mm Hg systolic or \> 90 mm Hg diastolic despite optimal antihypertensive treatment. iii. Stroke (including transient ischemic attack \[TIA\]), myocardial infarction (MI), or other ischemic event, or thromboembolic event (e.g., deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) within 6 months before first dose of study treatment. 1. Subjects with a diagnosis of incidental, subsegmental PE or DVT within 6 months are allowed if stable, asymptomatic, and treated with a stable dose of permitted anticoagulation (see exclusion criterion #6) for at least 1 week before first dose of study treatment. 2. Gastrointestinal disorders: i. The subject has evidence of tumor invading the GI tract, active peptic ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease), diverticulitis, cholecystitis, symptomatic cholangitis or appendicitis, acute pancreatitis, acute obstruction of the pancreatic duct or common bile
