About this study

RATIONALE: Studying the dendritic cells in samples of blood from patients with cancer receiving aflibercept may help doctors learn about the effect of aflibercept on dendritic cells.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is evaluating dendritic cells in patients with advanced solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphoma receiving aflibercept on clinical trial VGFT-ST-0202.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Evaluate the effect of in vivo aflibercept on the presence of different populations of dendritic cells (DC) and immature cells (ImC) in the peripheral blood of cancer patients by characterizing the time course (kinetics) of the improvement in antigen presenting cell (APC) phenotype (decline in DC/ImC ratio) occurring early and late after aflibercept administration.
  • Evaluate the effect of aflibercept administration on DC function based on ability to stimulate antigen specific proliferative (allogeneic and tetanus toxoid) and cytolytic T cell responses (influenza) by characterizing the time course (kinetics) of the improvement in APC function occurring early and late after aflibercept administration.
  • Explore the relationship of baseline aflibercept level and host APC phenotype.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo phlebotomy and blood collection at baseline and on days 15, 29, and 57. Samples are analyzed for dendritic cell phenotype, subpopulations, maturation status, and function in terms of ability to activate autologous T cells.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect of in vivo aflibercept on the presence of different populations of dendritic cells (DC) and immature cells (ImC)

    Measured: at days 15, 29 and 64

  2. Effect of aflibercept administration on DC function based on ability to stimulate antigen specific proliferative (allogeneic and tetanus toxoid) and cytolytic T cell responses (influenza)

    Measured: at days 15, 29 and 64

  3. Correlation of aflibercept level with host antigen presenting cell phenotype at baseline

    Measured: at days 15, 29 and 64

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma and Solid Tumor, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.

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 3 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 25 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Effect of in vivo aflibercept on the presence of different populations of dendritic cells (DC) and immature cells (ImC) (time frame: at days 15, 29 and 64). The study lists 3 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 25 Apr 2016.
