Combination Vaccine Immunotherapy (DRibbles) for Patients with Definitively-treated Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Overview

About this study

This study will test an investigational vaccine, called DRibbles, for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We hypothesize that vaccination with the DRibble vaccine will cause an immune response against proteins contained in the DRibble vaccine and the protein antigens targeted by this strong immune response will include common antigens shared by both the vaccine and the patient's tumor.
