About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Randomized Phase 1b/2 Study of the Efficacy and Safety of JNJ-64041757, a Live Attenuated Listeria Monocytogenes Immunotherapy, in Combination With Nivolumab Versus Nivolumab Monotherapy in Subjects With Advanced Adenocarcinoma of the Lung

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the efficacy of JNJ-757 combined with nivolumab is better than the efficacy of nivolumab monotherapy for participants with mesothelin-positive relapsed/refractory Stage IIIB or Stage IV adenocarcinoma of the lung. The open-label study comprises of two parts i.e. Phase 1b (safety run-in) and Phase 2. Phase1b consists of 1 arm whereas Phase 2 is randomized into 2 groups i.e. Group A and Group B.

Read the detailed description

This study evaluates safety and efficacy of JNJ-64041757 with nivolumab. The total study duration will be up to 3 years. It will consist of safety run-in and randomized phase which will comprise of Screening phase(Day(D) -28 to D -1),Treatment Phase,End of Adverse Event Evaluation Period (100 D after last dose of nivolumab)and Post-treatment Follow-up Phase(Every 3 Months). The primary hypothesis is that addition of JNJ-640417577 to nivolumab will result in higher objective response rate compared with nivolumab monotherapy in at least one of programmed death receptor ligand 1 subgroups in participants with relapsed or refractory StageIIIB or StageIV adenocarcinoma of lung. The study procedures include blood culture bacterial shedding assessments, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and biomarkers. Safety will be monitored throughout study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase 1b: Percentage of Participants With Objective Response

    Objective response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST). RECIST for CR - disappearance of all lesions; all lymph nodes were non-pathological in size and normalization of tumor marker level; PR - greater than or equal to (>=) 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of the diameters of all target lesions compared with baseline, in absence of new lesions or unequivocal progression of nontarget lesions.

    Measured: Up to 6.8 Months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Phase 1b: Duration of Objective Response (DOR)

    Duration of objective response was defined as the time from initial documentation of a response (CR or PR) to first documented date of disease progression (PD) or death from any cause. RECIST for PD - sum of diameters had increased by >= 20% and >=5 mm from nadir (including baseline if it was smallest sum). Participants with measurable disease: for "unequivocal progression" based on non-target disease, there was an overall level of substantial worsening that merits discontinuation of therapy (if target disease is stable disease [SD]/PR). Participants without measurable disease: for "unequivocal progression" of non-target disease, increase in overall tumor burden must be comparable to increase required for PD of measurable disease. Furthermore, appearance of 1 or more new lesions or unequivocal progression of a non-target lesion.

    Measured: Up to 6.8 months

  2. Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Progression-free Survival (PFS) Event (Progressed or Died Before Progression)

    Number of participants with PFS event (progressed or died before progression) were reported. PFS - time from date of randomization until date of first documented evidence of PD (or relapse for participants who experience CR during study) or death from any cause, whichever comes first. RECIST for PD - sum of diameters had increased by >= 20% and >=5 mm from nadir (including baseline if it was smallest sum). Participants with measurable disease: for "unequivocal progression" based on non-target disease, there was an overall level of substantial worsening that merits discontinuation of therapy (if target disease is SD/PR). Participants without measurable disease: for "unequivocal progression" of non-target disease, increase in overall tumor burden must be comparable to increase required for PD of measurable disease. Furthermore, appearance of 1 or more new lesions or unequivocal progression of a non-target lesion.

    Measured: Up to 6.8 months

  3. Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Overall Survival (OS) Event (Died)

    Number of participants with OS event (died) were reported. Overall Survival was defined as the duration from the date of randomization to the date of participant's death due to any cause.

    Measured: Up to 6.8 months

  4. Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product. TEAEs are defined as adverse events with onset or worsening on or after date of first dose of study treatment.

    Measured: Up to 6.8 months

  5. Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Positive Blood Culture

    Number of participants with surveillance cultures positive for listeriosis were reported.

    Measured: Up to 6.8 months

  6. Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Bacterial Shedding

    Number of participants with bacterial shedding were reported. The shedding of JNJ-64041757 was studied in feces by stool or rectal swab, urine and saliva.

    Measured: Up to 6.8 months

  7. Phase 1b: Serum Concentrations of Nivolumab

    Nivolumab serum concentrations were reported.

    Measured: Up to 6.8 months

  8. Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Anti-nivolumab Antibodies

    Number of participants with antibodies to nivolumab were reported.

    Measured: Up to 6.8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing JNJ-64041757 and Nivolumab in people with Adenocarcinoma of Lung, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 10 sites in 3 countries.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Spain, United States, Belgium. 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 11 Dec 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?

Phase 1b: Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (time frame: Up to 6.8 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 4 Feb 2025.
