Trial summary

This study, will take a subject's "T cells" and "teach" them to be able to recognize and attack the ovarian cancer cells. This is done by putting in a gene or genetic material that will change how a subject's T cells work and hopefully get them to attack and kill ovarian cancer cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/IIa, Open Label Clinical Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous T Cells Expressing Enhanced TCRs Specific for NY-ESO-1 in Patients With Recurrent or Treatment Refractory Ovarian Cancer.

This study, will take a subject's "T cells" and "teach" them to be able to recognize and attack the ovarian cancer cells. This is done by putting in a gene or genetic material that will change how a subject's T cells work and hopefully get them to attack and kill ovarian cancer cells. These new T cells are called "engineered T cells" because the new gene is causing them to become directed toward the ovarian cancer cells rather than their usual targets. These are also called "gene-modified T cells". For subjects who have the HLA A2 tissue-type marker, the T cells would be engineered to recognize a substance called "NY-ESO-1". After putting this new gene in T cells (a procedure called "gene therapy") the investigators will grow the cells in the laboratory and give these cells back to subjects.

Read the detailed description

This is an open label clinical trial. Patients with the HLA-A201, HLA-A205, and/or HLA-A206 allele and whose tumor expresses the NY-ESO-1 tumor antigen will be eligible to receive NY-ESO-1ᶜ²⁵⁹T. The trial is conducted entirely with outpatient procedures; however, patients may be hospitalized for the cytoreductive chemotherapy at the discretion of the investigator. Upon enrollment, patients will undergo leukapheresis for T cell collection, and their cells will be genetically engineered and expanded ex vivo. Seven days prior to receiving T-cells patients will undergo a cyclophosphamide conditioning regimen to potentiate the immunotherapy. The cell product will be infused as a single infusion (Day 0, typically Monday) to mitigate risks associated with unanticipated infusion reactions. Patients will be followed daily for the first week, weekly until 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks and then at 6 months and every 3 months until disease progression. Patients will undergo disease monitoring by MRI/CT scan (as appropriate for disease) at baseline, day 28, 8 weeks and 12 weeks, and months 6, and every 3 months until progression. Tumor biopsies will be taken at baseline, Week 8, and upon progression. In patients who have progressive disease following initial infusion but whose tumors continue to express NY-ESO-1, these patients may be eligible for a second infusion with redirected T cells. At disease progression, the interventional portion of the protocol ends and long term follow-up (LTFU) begins, in accordance with FDA regulations. LTFU occurs semiannually for up to 5 years post infusion and then annually thereafter for up to 15 years.

What participants receive

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

  • NYESO-1c259 T cellsBiological

    Cytoreductive chemotherapy followed by infusion with NYESO-1(C259) transduced autologous T cells. Patients will receive at least 1x10⁹ transduced cells, however the target dose for this protocol is for patients to receive 5x10⁹ transduced cells with a maximum possible dose of 6x10⁹ administered as a single intravenous (IV) infusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse Events Related to Study Treatment

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events related to study treatment

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Tumor Response

    Number of participants with response as assessed by Immune-related Response Criteria (irRC)

    Measured: Change from baseline, every 4 weeks until month 3 and then every 3 month until disease progression

  2. Peak Persistence of Modified T-cells in the Peripheral Blood

    Measurement of NY-ESO-1ᶜ²⁵⁹T cells in blood

    Measured: Days: 1, 2-4, weeks 1 to 4, Week 8, 12 and Month 6, then every 3 months thereafter until progression then during LTFU

  3. Determine Functional Properties and Phenotype of Modified T-cells From Peripheral Blood.

    Percentage of CD4+pentamer+ or CD8+pentamer+ cells expressing LAG-3, PD-1, TIM-3 in the functionality of NY-ESO-1ᶜ²⁵⁹T cells in the manufactured product and post-treatment blood.

    Measured: Weeks 4 and 8 post T-cell infusion

  4. Correlate NY-ESO-1 Expression in Tumor Tissue Before Treatment With Archival Tumor Tissue to Assess Impact of Therapy on Expression of NY-ESO-1 Protein

    NY-ESO-1 expression as determined by Histoscore (H score). Histoscore (0-300) represents the amount of NY-ESO-1 protein present in the tissue sample.

    H-Score formula:

    [1 × (% cells 1+) + 2 × (% cells 2+) + 3 × (% cells 3+)]

    (It is not clearly established if NY-ESO-1 H score has an association with prognosis.)

    Measured: Screening and at Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing NYESO-1c259 T cells in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Adaptimmune at 5 sites 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 27 inclusion and 11 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 27 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Jan 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Adverse Events Related to Study Treatment (time frame: Up to 12 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 27 Jun 2019.
