About this study

Official title: Phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ Trial of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-A*2402-Restricted Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 1 (VEGFR1)-Derived Peptide Vaccination Combined With Gemcitabine for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Feasibility and efficacy of combined modality intervention using chemotherapeutic agent gemcitabine with anti-angiogenic peptide vaccination targeting VRGFR1 should be determined in case of advanced/inoperable or therapy-resistant pancreatic cancer patients.

Gemcitabine 1,000mg/m2 BSA will be administered on day1, day8, day15, day29, day36, day43, respectively.

HLA-A*2402-restricted VEGFR1-derived peptide (VEGFR1-A24-1084; SYGVLLWEI) emulsified with Montanide ISA51 will be subcutaneously injected twice weekly for 8weeks (total 16 doses).

Read the detailed description

HLA-A*2402-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones were obtained from healthy volunteer donor peripheral blood.

These CTL clones showed potent cytotoxicities selectively against VEGFR1-expressing target cells in HLA-class I-restricted manner.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing VEGFR1-A24-1084 (SYGVLLWEI) in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Pancreas Neoplasms, run by Tokyo University 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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 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 combined 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

PhaseⅠ; safety (NCI CTCAE v.3) PhaseⅡ;time to progression (RECIST) (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT00683358, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 7 May 2009.
