Who may be able to join

About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of Post Transplant Immunization With Autologous Myeloma Idiotype-KLH/GM-CSF In Myeloma Patients Following Autologous or Allogeneic Marrow or Stem Cell Transplantation

The purpose of this trial is to test the safety and immune response to four immunizations with this vaccine made from a protein produced by the patient's tumor. There is no guarantee or promise that this procedure will be successful

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the safety of multiple subcutaneous vaccinations with myeloma Id-KLH (idiotype-keyhole limpet hemocyanin) with GM-CSF (sargramostim) in post allogeneic transplant myeloma patients, or with GM-CSF +/- interleukin (IL)-2 (aldesleukin) in post autologous transplant myeloma patients.

II. To evaluate patients pre and post bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for evidence of endogenous idiotype specific immune response.

III. To characterize the time course, specificity and persistence of antibody and T cell immune response to myeloma idiotype and to KLH induced by myeloma Ig (Id) immunization.

IV. To clone, expand and characterize T cells specific for the tumor idiotype. V. Monitor myeloma involvement in bone marrow and serum paraprotein level following vaccination.

VI. Use stored patient samples to clone, expand, and characterize T cells specific for myeloma antigens other than idiotype and identify the antigens they recognize so that they can be used in future studies.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive autologous immunoglobulin idiotype-KLH conjugate vaccine combined with sargramostim subcutaneously (SC) in weeks 0, 2, 6, and 10 and sargramostim SC once daily (QD) for three days following each vaccine injection. Some patients also receive aldesleukin SC daily from weeks 2-14.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 1 year.

Being tested
autologous immunoglobulin idiotype-KLH conjugate vaccine, sargramostim, aldesleukin, laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Toxicities graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria

    Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize changes from baseline in clinical laboratory parameters for each cohort.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Immune response

    Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize changes from baseline in clinical laboratory parameters for each cohort.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing autologous immunoglobulin idiotype-KLH conjugate vaccine, sargramostim and aldesleukin in people with Refractory Multiple Myeloma and Stage I Multiple Myeloma, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center/University of Washington Cancer Consortium at 1 site 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 15 inclusion and 7 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 6 May 2019. 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 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 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?

Toxicities graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria (time frame: Up to 2 years). 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?
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 6 May 2019.
