About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study Of NY-ESO-1b Peptide Plus Montanide ® ISA-51 In Patients With Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal, Or Fallopian Tube Cancer

RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: A phase I trial to study the side effects of vaccine therapy in patients with ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the safety of NY-ESO-1b peptide vaccine and Montanide® ISA-51 in patients with ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
  • Determine the immunologic profile (NY-ESO-1 antibody, CD8+ cells, and delayed-type hypersensitivity) induced by this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.

Patients receive NY-ESO-1b peptide vaccine emulsified with Montanide® ISA-51 subcutaneously once every 3 weeks on weeks 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed at 3 weeks (week 16) and then every 6-12 weeks for 2 years or until disease progression.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Patients With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    Toxicities and adverse events defined by National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) Scale (Version 2.0, published April 30, 1999). DLT defined as:

    ≥ Grade 2 autoimmune phenomena, asymptomatic bronchospasm or generalized urticaria, or ≥ Grade 3 hematological and non hematological toxicities. To be dose-limiting, an adverse event must be definitely, probably, or possibly related to the administration of the investigational agent.

    Measured: up to 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Patients Developing NY-ESO-1 Antibodies After Treatment

    Blood samples were obtained at baseline and in weeks 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16 for the assessment of NY-ESO-1 specific antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    Measured: up to 16 weeks

  2. Number of Patients With NY-ESO-1b-Specific CD8+ T Cells Measured by Tetramer Analysis

    Blood samples were obtained at baseline and at 4, 7, 10. 13 and 16 weeks. Tetramer assays were conducted after presensitization of CD8+ T cells with NY-ESO-1b. Results are presented separately for patients with NY-ESO-1 positive and negative tumors.

    Measured: up to 16 weeks.

  3. Number of Patients With NY-ESO-1b-Specific Activated CD8+ T Cells Measured by ELISPOT

    Blood samples were obtained at baseline and at 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16 weeks. T cell responses were monitored after the in vitro sensitization with NY-ESO-1b (157-165), modified NY-ESO-1b-A (157-165A), or control peptide influenza matrix 58 to 66. Results are presented separately for patients with NY-ESO-1 positive and negative tumors.

    Measured: up to 16 weeks

  4. Number of Patients With NY-ESO-1b-specific Delayed-type Hypersensitivity (DTH)

    NY-ESO-1b-specific delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) was measured by number of patients with induration and/or redness at each timepoint.

    NY-ESO-1b-specific DTH skin reaction was measured at baseline and weeks 7 and 16. The NY-ESO-1b peptide solution (0.1 mg/mL in 8% DMSO) was injected intradermally at a separate site from the vaccination to give a visable and palpable skin depot. The extent and intensity of DTH reactions were documented by measuring visible redness, palpable induration and other signs of local skin irritation or necrosis. Assessment of DTH reaction was performed 48 hours after injection, and the diameter of the reaction was documented.

    Measured: up to 16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NY-ESO-1 peptide vaccine in people with Fallopian Tube Cancer and Ovarian Cancer, run by Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 24 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Sep 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Patients With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: up to 16 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00066729, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Oct 2023.
