About this study

Official title: A Pilot Clinical Trial of Dendritic Cell Vaccine Loaded With Autologous Tumor for Recurrent Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal or Fallopian Tube Cancer

This is a Five cohort sequential clinical trial for subjects with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer to determine the feasibility and safety as well as immunogenicity of OC-DC, an autologous vaccine comprised of autologous dendritic cells (DC) loaded in vitro with lysate from autologous oxidized tumor cells, administered intranodally alone, or in combination with intravenous Bevacizumab and cyclophosphamide or in combination with intravenous Bevacizumab, cyclophosphamide and aspirin. Study duration is 24 months.

Being tested
OCDC
Keywords
Subjects with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer,, from whom solid tumor or ascites have been harvested and are available and, sufficient for tumorlysate preparation;and whose largest tumor nodule is 4.5, cm. Subjects may have undergone chemotherapy or other therapy following, tumor harvesting and prior to enrollment.

What participants receive

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

  • OCDCBiological

    OCDC,an autologous vaccine comprised of autologous dendritic cells (DC) loaded in vitro with lysate from autologous oxidized tumor cells, administered intranodally alone, or in combination with either intravenous Daclizumab, or with a combination of Daclizumab and intravenous Bevacizumab.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety

    Safety will be established by grading the observed toxicities using the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC Version3.0). All toxicities observed within 30 days of last vaccination will be included.

    Measured: 30 days of last vaccination

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical Response

    Clinical Response will be determined by RECIST criteria. Response rate is the proportion of patients that achieve CR or PR.

  2. Dose limiting toxicity

    Dose-limiting toxicity is defined as: any Grade 3 or higher allergic, autoimmune or injection site reaction or any Grade 4 hematologic or non-hematologic toxicity (except fever).

  3. Immune Response Immune Response

    Immune response will be evaluated by IFN-g ELISPOT analysis of tumor-reactive T cells, and in HLAA2+ subjects, by tetramer analysis of Her-2 specific T cells in peripheral blood. Response is defined by a 3 fold increase relative to pre-vaccination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing OCDC in people with Chemotherapy and Tumor, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine 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 0 inclusion and 32 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 11 Jun 2018. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Safety (time frame: 30 days of last vaccination). 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 NCT01132014, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Jun 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
