About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Immunogenicity, and Clinical Benefit of a CMV Immunotherapeutic Vaccine in Donors and CMV-Seropositive Recipients Undergoing Allogeneic, Matched Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT)

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate a CMV vaccine given to related donor/recipient pairs (donors prior to peripheral blood stem cell donation and CMV-seropositive recipients just before and after transplantation) and CMV-seropositive recipient-only subjects (related or unrelated) to determine incidence rates of CMV infection, disease, and other complications from immunosuppression and/or transplantation. The outcomes for the groups receiving CMV vaccine will be compared to the outcomes for the group that received the placebo vaccine to see if there is a clinical benefit. For this trial, donors and recipients must have matched HLA genotype (matched at 5/6 or 6/6 HLA loci).

Read the detailed description

This study was run by Vical and the record was transferred to Astellas on 1/8/2013.

Trial will enroll up to 240 subjects (160 recipients and 80 donors). Qualified donors and/or CMV-seropositive recipients (donor/recipient pairs or recipient-only subjects) will be assigned randomly to receive either a CMV vaccine or a placebo vaccine. Donors will receive 3 vaccines prior to donation and recipients will receive 1 vaccine pretransplant and up to three vaccines posttransplant. Recipients will be followed for up to 1 year after transplant to evaluate the safety of the vaccine and to see if there is a clinical benefit in the group that received the CMV vaccine. The incidence rates of CMV infection, disease, and other complications from immunosuppression and/or transplantation will be studied.

Yes: Access to anonymized individual participant level data collected during the study, in addition to study-related supporting documentation, is planned for studies conducted with approved product indications and formulations, as well as products terminated during development. Studies conducted with product indications or formulations that remain active in development are assessed after study completion to determine if Individual Participant Data can be shared.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing VCL-CB01 and Phosphate-buffered Saline (PBS) in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, run by Astellas Pharma Inc at 22 sites 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 21 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Safety of CMV immunotherapeutic vaccine in donors and recipients undergoing HCT (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00285259, 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 21 Oct 2024.
