Summary
This study tests a vaccine made from proteins found on glioma cells, given with an immune booster, in children whose low-grade glioma has come back after at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if the vaccine can shrink the tumor or stop it from growing. About 25 children who have a specific immune marker (HLA-A2) will receive up to 8 initial vaccines, and those who respond well may continue for up to two years.
