About this study

Official title: A Single-Patient Study Using AGS 006 as an Immunotherapeutic in a Subject With Newly Diagnosed Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

Argos Therapeutics, Inc., (Argos) proposes to study AGS-006 in a subject with newly diagnosed resectable pancreatic cancer. The AGS 006 immunotherapeutic may potentially offer a desired additional option to conventional treatments for pancreatic carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Single-patient, open-label clinical study:

  • Events during Pre-Treatment Period:
  1. Resection of pancreatic cancer,
  2. RNA acquisition from tumor specimen,
  3. RNA amplification,
  4. Infectious disease testing,
  5. Autoimmune disease testing,
  6. Two blood draws for immune response monitoring,
  7. Production leukapheresis, and
  8. Dendritic cell electroporation with RNA and immunotherapeutic production;
  • Events during Induction Period:
  1. Administer investigative treatment every 2 weeks for a total of five doses, followed by dosing every 4 weeks for a total of four doses,
  2. Two Induction Period blood draws (Week 6 and Week 12) for immune response monitoring, and
  3. One leukapheresis (Week 14) for immune response monitoring;
  • Events during Booster Period:
  1. Dose every 3 months until progression or 2 years after first AGS treatment,
  2. Potentially, one leukapheresis for immune response monitoring 12 months from the first dose, and
  3. One blood draw 2 weeks following dosing at Week 36 (1st booster dose) (approximately Week 38); and,
  • Events during study Close-Out:
  1. Close-Out upon progression or 28 days following immune response monitoring 2 years after first dose

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment-emergent changes in vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature) from baseline values obtained prior to each investigative treatment

  2. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events

  3. Treatment-emergent adenopathy, tenderness, or inflammation (inguinal and axillary) assessed before and after each dose

  4. Treatment-emergent changes in autoimmunity evaluations as measured by clinical signs and symptoms and laboratory assessments at periodic intervals during the Treatment Period.

  5. Treatment-emergent changes in localized injection site reactions following each dose

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Assessment of progression-free survival (PFS) estimated from the date of subject registration - Standard Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) definitions of progressive disease (PD) will contribute to estimating the interval for PFS.

  2. T cell response to RNA-electroporated DCs will be assessed by flow cytometry using blood cells collected according to protocol time and events

  3. Positive immune response

  4. Feasibility

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AGS-006 in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Argos Therapeutics 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 29 Jan 2013. 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.

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?

Treatment-emergent changes in vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature) from baseline values obtained prior to each investigative treatment. The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Jan 2013.
