About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Cancer Vaccine Therapy Using Epitope Peptide Restricted to HLA-A*24 (CDCA1,KIF20A) in Patients With Small Cell Lung Cancer Refractory to Standard Therapy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immune response and clinical efficacies of HLA-A*2402 restricted epitope peptides CDCA1 and KIF20A emulsified with Montanide ISA 51 for advanced small cell lung cancers.

Read the detailed description

The investigators previously identified three novel HLA-A*2402-restricted epitope peptides, which were derived from two cancer-testis antigens, CDCA1 and KIF20A, as targets for cancer vaccination against lung cancer. In this phase I trial, the investigators examine using a combination of these two peptides the safety, immunogenicity, and antitumor effect of vaccine treatment for HLA-A*2402-positive advanced small cell lung cancer patients who failed to standard therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of safety (NCI CTCAE version3): the number of adverse events of vaccination therapy.

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Evaluation of tolerability (maximum tolerated dose, MTD and dose limiting toxicity, DLT) for the determination of the recommended dose for next phase trial.

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Immunological responses: Peptides specific CTL, Antigen cascade, Regulatory T cells, Cancer antigens and HLA levels.

    Measured: 2 months (every time point(s) at which each course is completed)

  2. Evaluation of clinical efficacy: Objective response rate (RECIST1.1), Tumor markers, Overall survival, Progression free survival.

    Measured: 2 months (every time point(s) at which each course is completed)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HLA-A*2402-restricted CDCA1 and KIF20A peptides in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Shiga University at 1 site in Japan.

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 9 inclusion and 8 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 19 Mar 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 Japan. 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?

Evaluation of safety (NCI CTCAE version3): the number of adverse events of vaccination therapy. (time frame: 2 months). 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 NCT01069653, which also lists 7 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Mar 2019.
