- Any other life-threatening illness, significant organ system dysfunction, or clinically significant laboratory abnormality, which in the opinion of the Investigator, would either compromise the patient's safety or interfere with the evaluation of the safety of the trial treatment
- Any kind of disorder that compromises the ability of the patient to give written informed consent and/or to comply with trial procedures or is unwilling or unable to comply with trial requirements at the discretion of the Investigator
- Breast feeding, or plans by the patient (or the patient's partner) to become pregnant during treatment or within 4 months after the end of treatment

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Study objectives are to investigate the efficacy and safety of activated autologous dendritic cells (DCs) in treatment of gastric cancer. DCs are activated by the proteins from autologous tumor cell membrane and cytokines in vitro. The efficacy endpoints include objective response, immune-cell response, recurrent rate after a radical surgery, progression-free survival and overall survival, and the safety endpoints include adverse events, laboratory tests, ECG, ECOG-PT, etc.
Detailed Description
Study objectives are to investigate the efficacy and safety of activated autologous dendritic cells (DCs) in treatment of gastric cancer. The autologous DCs are collected and enriched from peripheral blood, and then are activated by the proteins from autologous tumor cell membrane and cytokines in vitro. The efficacy endpoints include objective response, immune-cell response, recurrent rate after a radical surgery, progression-free survival and overall survival, and the safety endpoints include adverse events, laboratory tests, ECG, ECOG-PT, etc. All patients will be followed up for at least 2 years after treatment.
