This study is not yet open for participant recruitment.

Verified by Hadassah Medical Organization, July 2008

Information provided by:	Hadassah Medical Organization
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00722228

Purpose

This study is based on the finding that tumor cells that are grown in the laboratory can be modified in such a way that, when injected to the patient, they will stimulate his/her immune response. This approach will be evaluated in patients with colorectal, gastric, ovarian, breast or lung epithelial cancer. Tumor cells grown in the laboratory will be modified to make them stimulatory to the immune system, irradiated to kill them, and injected to the patient eight times at two-week intervals . This protocol is expected to prolong survival of metastatic epithelial cancer patients.
