About this study

Official title: Histocompatibility Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-A*2402 and A*0201 Restricted Peptide Vaccine Therapy in Patients With Neovascular Maculopathy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and time to progression of HLA-A*2402 or A*0201 restricted epitope peptides VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 emulsified with Montanide ISA 51 in patients with Neovascular Maculopathy, including Age Related Macular Degeneration

Read the detailed description

VEGF receptor 1 and 2 are essential targets to pathogenic angiogenesis, and we identified that peptides derived from these receptors significantly induce the effective tumor specific CTL response in vitro and vivo. According to these findings, in this trial, we evaluate the safety, immunological and clinical response of those peptides. Patients will be vaccinated once a week for 12 weeks. On each vaccination day, VEGFR1 peptide (1mg) and VEGFR2 peptide (1mg) mixed with Montanide ISA 51 will be administered by subcutaneous injection. In the study, our primary aim is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of these peptide vaccine. The second aim is evaluate the immunological and clinical response of this vaccine therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of this trial will be assessed based on National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria,(NCI-CTC) version3. In case grade 4 or more complications occur, we will report the case to the review board within 14 days.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Efficacy of the trail will be assessed by external judge board using fluorescent and ICG angiography and optical coherence tomography. The best corrected visual acuity will be measured before and 3 month after the trail.

    Measured: 3 month

  2. To evaluate immunological responses. INF-r production of monocytes from the patients after the peptide stimulation will be measured by ELISA.

    Measured: 3 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 in people with Neovascular Maculopathy and Age Related Macular Degeneration, run by Osaka 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 16 Oct 2012. 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?

Safety of this trial will be assessed based on National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria,(NCI-CTC) version3. In case grade 4 or more complications occur, we will report the case to the review board within 14 days. (time frame: 3 months). 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 16 Oct 2012.
