Summary
This study tests a vaccine made from proteins found on glioma cells, combined with an immune booster, in children with low-grade gliomas that cannot be removed by surgery and have returned after at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if the vaccine can shrink the tumor or keep it stable without serious side effects. Up to 25 children who have a specific immune marker (HLA-A2) will receive up to 8 initial vaccines, with extra doses possible for up to two years if the tumor responds.
