About this study

Treatment of advanced endocrine tumors, including adrenal corticocarcnioma (ACC), medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), thymic neuroendocrine tumor and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor is challenging. Previous genomic profiling studies showed they presented a number of somatic mutations. The tumors Individualized mRNA neoantigen vaccine provide a promising solution since a significant portion of these tumors showed high quality of tumor specific neoantigen. The primary objective is to observe and evaluate the safety and tolerability of individualized mRNA neoantigen vaccine (mRNA-0523-L001) for the treatment of advanced endocrine tumors, failure of standard treatment or no standard treatment currently available. The secondary objective is to observe the preliminary efficacy of mRNA-0523-L001 for the treatment of advanced endocrine tumors, failure of standard treatment or no standard treatment currently available, including:

  1. Neoantigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte responses induced by mRNA-0523-L001;
  2. Objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) of tumors;
  3. Progression-free survival (PFS).

  • individualized mRNA neoantigen vaccine (mRNA-0523-L001)Biological

    Individualized mRNA neoantigen vaccine (mRNA-0523-L001) will be injected intramuscularly every 21 days for 9 cycles. Dose escalation will be administered in 3 patients. 18 additional patients will be recruited and administered at the maximum tolerated(MTD) dose for all nine cycles. Injection of mRNA-0523-L001 will continue if an objective response is observed until the discontinuation criteria are met.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).If MTD is not reached, Biologically Effective Dose (BED)tumor neoantigen.

    The highest dose of a drug or treatment that does not cause unacceptable side effects.

    Measured: At the end of cycle 1(each cycle is 21 days)

  2. Incidence of treatment-related adverse events.

    According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE v5.0).

    Measured: At the end of cycle 1(each cycle is 21 days)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Reaction of antigen-specific T cells in peripheral blood.

    mRNA-0523-L001 personalized tumor vaccine induces neoantigen specific CD4+and CD8+T lymphocyte responses.

    Measured: At the end of cycle 1(each cycle is 21 days)

  2. Objective tumor response rate (ORR)

    ORR calculates the ratio of the number of patients whose best response is complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) to the total number of evaluable patients according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Those who have not been evaluated for lesion and tumor response will be regarded as non-evaluable patients and will not be counted.

    Measured: At the end of cycle 1(each cycle is 21 days)

  3. Disease control rate (DCR)

    DCR calculates the ratio of the number of patients whose best response is complete remission (CR), or partial remission (PR), or stable disease (SD) to the total number of evaluable patients according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Those who have not been evaluated for lesion and tumor response will be regarded as non-evaluable patients and will not be counted.

    Measured: At the end of cycle 1(each cycle is 21 days)

  4. Progressive free survival (PFS)

    Progression-free Survival of Personalized mRNA Tumor Vaccine.

    Measured: At the end of cycle 1(each cycle is 21 days)

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lei Ye (15201909962, lei_yelei@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).If MTD is not reached, Biologically Effective Dose (BED)tumor neoantigen. (time frame: At the end of cycle 1(each cycle is 21 days)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06141369, which also lists 27 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?
