Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Colon GVAXBiological

    Also called Allogeneic Colon Cancer Cell Vaccine Administered with a Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor-Producing Bystander Cell Line

    Dose escalation: 1.4x10^8 to 7x10^8 cells administered in up to 15 intradermal injections on Day 2 of Cycles 1-4

  • cyclophosphamideDrug

    200 mg/m^2 administered IV on Day 1 of Cycles 1-4

Study groups in NCT00656123
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CY and colon GVAXExperimentalNot described
Receives: Biological: Colon GVAX; Drug: cyclophosphamide

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients Experiencing a Grade 3 or Above Treatment-related Toxicity

    When calculating the incidence of AEs, each AE (as defined by NCI CTCAE v3) will be counted only once for a given subject.

    Measured: 3.5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percent Fold change in amount of interferon gamma-producing Ep-CAM-specific CD8 T cells after vaccination

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Colon GVAX and cyclophosphamide in people with Colorectal Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 14 Aug 2019. 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?

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?

Number of Patients Experiencing a Grade 3 or Above Treatment-related Toxicity (time frame: 3.5 years). 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 NCT00656123, 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 14 Aug 2019.
