Summary
This trial is studying how well a dendritic cell vaccine works when given with cabozantinib in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other parts of the body.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with clear cell renal cancer that hasn't spread and can be surgically removed. Participants must understand the study, agree to use contraception, not be pregnant, have good organ function, an ECOG status of 0 or 1 (fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory), and must have HLA-A2+ if receiving the vaccine.
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination treatment: a personalized dendritic cell vaccine alongside oral cabozantinib medication. The goal is to see how well patients' immune systems respond to this combo and what side effects might occur.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include those common to immunotherapies such as flu-like symptoms, injection site reactions, fatigue; and for cabozantinib: nausea, diarrhea, high blood pressure, hand-foot syndrome (redness and pain on palms/soles).

Treatment Details
Study Objectives
Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary study objectives
Characterize the safety profile of interventional therapy.
To estimate the probability of immune response for the combination treatment of an autologous DC1/peptide vaccine targeting tumor-associated blood vessel antigens with concomitant oral cabozantinib.
Secondary study objectives
To assess the effect of treatment on markers of vascular normalization in pre-treatment biopsies and treated tumors.
Other study objectives
To assess TCRA/B repertoire evenness (oligoclonality), convergence (antigenic focus) and compartmentalization (tumor vs. blood) in patients at baseline vs. on treatment
To assess further indicators of VN.
To assess immune cell composition and "fitness" within vs. outside of tumor-associated TLS
