Study Summary
This trial is testing if a vaccine made from a person's own cells can help fight advanced ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain types of advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back. Participants must be in good physical condition (ECOG PS 0 or 1), not pregnant, willing to use contraception if they can have children, and able to provide tissue samples. They should not have had prior anti-PD-1/L1 therapy for ovarian cancer or recent anticancer treatment and must not have other serious illnesses.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a vaccine made from the patient's own white blood cells treated with peptides (FRaDCs) combined with pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug. The goal is to see if this combo helps the immune system destroy tumor cells in patients with recurrent cancers mentioned above.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the injection site from the vaccine and typical immunotherapy-related issues like inflammation in organs due to an overactive immune response, fatigue, digestive problems, skin rash, and potential complications related to infusions.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (apheresis, FRalphaDC, pembrolizumab)Experimental Treatment7 Interventions
Patients undergo apheresis for multi-epitope folate receptor alpha-loaded dendritic cell vaccine manufacturing on study. Patients then receive multi-epitope folate receptor alpha-loaded dendritic cell vaccine ID and pembrolizumab IV on study. Patients also undergo CT and/or MRI as well as blood sample collection throughout the trial. Patients undergo biopsy on study.
