DESIGN DE L’ETUDE
15 patients souffrant de tumeurs solides pour lesquels les traitements reconnus et
disponibles ne sont plus efficaces ou pas utilisables seront inclus aux HUG.
Le traitement qui sera administré pendant l’étude est appelé "immunothérapie cellulaire
spécifique MVX-ONCO". Le traitement sera répété toutes les semaines pendant 4 semaines
puis 2 implantations supplémentaires à 15 jours d’intervalle. Le nombre total d’implantations
prévues est donc de 6 sur une durée totale de 8 semaines selon le tableau ci-dessous.

OBJECTF DE L’ETUDE
L'objectif de cet essai clinique est d'évaluer la sécurité, la tolérance ainsi que la réponse
immunitaire et clinique induite par le traitement MVX-ONCO. Durant l’étude diverses
analyses seront effectuées pour évaluer ces paramètres (sécurité, tolérance, faisabilité,
réponse immunitaire, réponse anti-tumorale).

within the normal range (exception: liver metastases: ALT < 5 times ULN; Bilirubin < 3 times UL)
No major impairment of renal function (creatinine ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal range)
No major impairment of bone marrow function (hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dl, WBC >2.5 x 109/L,
neutrophils≥1.5 x109L, Thrombocytes≥50 x109/L
Primary tumor and/or metastasis amenable for partial/total surgery or tap and subsequent cell
harvesting estimate > 27x106 cells

Able to understand Patient Information Form and Inform Consent Form
Has given written informed consent
EXCLUSION CRITERIA
Have participated in any other investigational study or received an experimental therapeutic
procedure considered to interfere with the study in the 4 preceding weeks
Have received any chemotherapy treatment in the 4 preceding weeks

drugs, severe psychiatric disorders.

patients). Patient with history of brain metastasis with no evidence of brain relapse after
surgery/radiotherapy at screening can be enrolled
