Primary Outcomes

Description: Immune response was defined as a percent specific lysis of >10% following challenge with peptide pulsed targets, or interferon gamma production following challenge with peptide pulsed targets >2-fold that found with no-peptide controls or a proliferation index >3.0. Tumor specific peptides: Ewings sarcoma Type 1: EF-1 (EWS/FLI-1)*SSSYGQQN/PSYDSVRRGA,Ewing's Sarcoma Type 2: EF-2 (EWS/FLI-2)* SSSYGQ/QSSLLAYNT, Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma: PXFK (PAX3/FKHR)† TIGNGLSPQ/NSIRHNLSL. Non-tumor specific peptide:HPV16E7 MLDLQPETT-MET-9-THR. See protocol link module for additional information re: peptides.

Description: CD4 counts were measured from peripheral blood using standard flow cytometric techniques at the following timepoints: 2 months post-chemotherapy, 4 months post-chemotherapy and 6 months post-chemotherapy. To be eligible for evaluation for this endpoint, patient much have been <10 years of age and sustained a CD4 count of <300 cells/mcl upon completion of standard therapy. Recovery was defined as a CD4 count > 500 cells/mcl at any timepoint within 6 months of completing chemotherapy.

Description: Immune responses were measured following 3 sequential influenza vaccines during the same period as the peptide-pulsed dendritic cell vaccines.

Description: Immune response was defined as a percent specific lysis of >10% following challenge with peptide pulsed targets, or interferon gamma production following challenge with peptide pulsed targets >2-fold that found with no-peptide controls or a proliferation index >3.0.

Description: Immune response was defined as a percent specific lysis of >10% following challenge with tumor peptide pulsed targets, or interferon gamma production following challenge with tumor peptide pulsed targets >2-fold that found with no-peptide controls or a proliferation index >3.0 to tumor peptide targets.Tumor specific peptides: Ewings sarcoma Type 1: EF-1 (EWS/FLI-1)*SSSYGQQN/PSYDSVRRGA,Ewing's Sarcoma Type 2: EF-2 (EWS/FLI-2)* SSSYGQ/QSSLLAYNT, Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma: PXFK (PAX3/FKHR)† TIGNGLSPQ/NSIRHNLSL. See protocol link module for additional information re: peptides.

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Overall survival is defined as the time between the first day of treatment to the day of death.

Description: Event free survival is calculated from the date of diagnosis for patients enrolled with newly diagnosed metastatic disease and from the date of the last recurrence detection before enrollment on this study for patients with recurrent disease.

Description: Here are the number of participants with adverse events. For the detailed list of adverse events see the adverse event module.
