Trial summary

Mixed cancer vaccines, CHP-HER2 protein and CHP-NY-ESO-1 protein, are to be studied to evaluate the safety and immune responses in patients who are positive either or both antigens. Nine patients will be enrolled, who are refractory to standard therapies for cancer or at high risk to relapse. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of Cholesterol-Bearing Hydrophobized Pullulan HER2 Protein 146 (CHP-HER2) and NY-ESO-1 Protein (CHP-NY-ESO-1) in Combination With OK-432 in HER2- and/or NY-ESO-1-Expressing Cancers

Mixed cancer vaccines, CHP-HER2 protein and CHP-NY-ESO-1 protein, are to be studied to evaluate the safety and immune responses in patients who are positive either or both antigens. Nine patients will be enrolled, who are refractory to standard therapies for cancer or at high risk to relapse. CHP-HER2 and CHP-NY-ESO-1 are subcutaneously given on bimonthly basis, together with OK-432(Picibanil) as an immunoadjuvant. Six doses will be given. Toxicity profiles will be monitored, and antigen specific humoral anad T cell responses will be described.

Being tested
CHP-HER2, CHP-NY-ESO-1
Medical subject headings
Esophageal Neoplasms, Lung Neoplasms, Stomach Neoplasms, Breast Neoplasms, Ovarian Neoplasms

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CHP-HER2, CHP-NY-ESO-1 in people with Esophageal Cancer and Lung Cancer, run by Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at 1 site in Japan.

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 11 inclusion and 16 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 3 Mar 2009. 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 Japan. 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?

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?

adverse events. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 Mar 2009.
