About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Multicenter, Randomized, Single-Blind Study of Vitespen (HSPPC-96, Oncophage) for Immune Response Assessment Following Treatment of Patients With Resectable Renal Cell Carcinoma at Intermediate Risk of Recurrence

The primary objective of the study is to determine whether participants exhibit a measurable immune response after multiple administrations of HSPPC-96 (heat shock protein-peptide complex 96), as assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) assay.

Read the detailed description

The study consists of two parts: Part 1 with Part 1a (Assessment of Immune Variation) and Part 1b (Assay Standardization), and Part 2 (Immune Monitoring Study). The study was terminated early with 12 participants enrolled only in Part 1a and Part 1b. Part 2 of the study involved randomization after 8 doses of HSSPC-96. After the 8 doses of HSSPC-96 administered in Part 2, the participants were to be randomized to the treatment extension arm or the placebo extension arm. There were no participants enrolled in Part 2 since the study was terminated early. Therefore, no randomization occurred in the conduct of this study and only a single arm was enrolled.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HSPPC-96 VaccineExperimentalParticipants will receive up to 8 administrations of HSPPC-96 25 µg intradermally over 3 months (4 weekly doses, followed by 4 bi-weekly doses [at Weeks 14, 15, 16, 17 19, 21, 23, and 25 in Part 1a and at Weeks 1-4, 6, 8, 10, 12 in Part 1b). Participants will remain untreated with HSPPC-96 for the initial 3-month period in Part 1a for immune monitoring blood draw.
Receives: Biological: HSPPC-96

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Positive Immunological Response Using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISPOT) Assay

    The ELISPOT assay was not developed for this study and no immunogenicity data are available.

    Measured: 6-7 weeks post surgery up to Week 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing HSPPC-96 in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Agenus Inc. at 3 sites in 2 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 9 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 3 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Canada. 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 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 3 Jun 2021). 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?

Number of Participants With Positive Immunological Response Using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISPOT) Assay (time frame: 6-7 weeks post surgery up to Week 14). 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 3 Jun 2021.
