About this study

The purpose of this early (pilot) clinical trial is to test the effects (both good and bad) of chemotherapy and adoptive immunotherapy with T cells engineered to recognize NY-ESO-1 peptide in patients with unresectable, metastatic or recurrent synovial sarcoma.

Read the detailed description

Design

  • Patients will undergo apheresis at the enrolling institution. PBMC will be shipped to a central manufacturer for gene transduction, activation and expansion, then cryopreserved and shipped back to the enrolling institution.
  • The trial seeks to enroll up to 65 patients, that is, up to 20 patients in Cohort 1 and up to 15 patients in Cohorts 2-4. Depending on the cohort patients are enrolled in, patients will undergo lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide with or without fludarabine.
  • Cohort 1: Complete
  • Cohort 2: Up to 15 patients may be enrolled to achieve at least 10 evaluable patients treated with NY-ESO-1ᶜ²⁵⁹T. Patients will undergo lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide plus fludarabine on Days -3 and -2, and without fludarabine on Days -5 and -4.
  • Cohort 3: Up to 15 patients may be enrolled to achieve at least 10 evaluable patients treated with NY-ESO-1ᶜ²⁵⁹T. Patients will undergo lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide only on Days -3 and -2. (Cohort Complete)
  • Cohort 4: Up to 15 patients may be enrolled to achieve at least 5 evaluable patients treated with NY-ESO-1ᶜ²⁵⁹T. Patients will undergo lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide plus fludarabine on Days -7 to -5.

On Day 0, patients ≥40 kg will receive the minimum cell dose of at least 1x10⁹ transduced NY-ESO-1ᶜ²⁵⁹T cells with a maximum of 6x10⁹ transduced cells. The target dose for this protocol is 5x10⁹ transduced NY-ESO-1ᶜ²⁵⁹T cells. Patients <40 kg will be dosed per body weight with a minimum 0.025x10⁹ transduced cells/kg, with a target dose of 0.125 x10⁹ transduced cells/kg.

  • Patients will be monitored for toxicity, antitumor effects and immune endpoints.
  • Patients who have a confirmed response, or have stable disease for >3 months then progress may receive a 2nd T cell infusion, provided eligibility criteria are met. The 2nd treatment cell infusion will be administered in the same manner as the first. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria may receive a 2nd infusion of NY-ESO-1ᶜ²⁵⁹T no sooner than 60 days and no later than 2 years following completion of the first treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR was calculated as the percentage of participants with a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) relative to the total number of participants in the analysis population per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 as determined by the local investigators.

    Measured: Up to 4.5 years

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Duration of Overall Response

    Duration of overall response (DOR) is defined as the time from first documented evidence of confirmed CR or confirmed PR until first documented date of disease progression or death due to any cause or surgical resection or start of prohibited medications. Duration of overall response was evaluated per RECIST v1.1. Median and full range of DOR are presented.

    Measured: Up to 4.5 years

  2. Progression Free Survival

    Progression free survival is defined as the interval between the date of first T cell infusion and the earliest documented evidence of disease progression or death due to any cause or surgical resection or start of prohibited medications. Progression free survival was evaluated per RECIST v1.1. Median and inter-quartile range (first quartile and third quartile) of progression free survival are presented.

    Measured: Up to 4.5 years

  3. Best Overall Response

    Best overall response is the best response recorded from the start of treatment (first T cell infusion) until disease progression/recurrence. Response categories from best to worst are confirmed CR, confirmed PR, stable disease (SD) and confirmed progressive disease (PD). Best overall response is a stable disease, if CR or PR are unconfirmed. Data for number of participants with CR, PR, SD and PD are presented.

    Measured: Up to 4.5 years

  4. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is defined as the interval between the date of the first T-cell infusion and date of death from any cause. Median and inter-quartile range (first quartile and third quartile) of overall survival are presented.

    Measured: Up to 4.5 years

  5. Number of Participants With Non-serious Adverse Events (Non-SAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that; results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, other situations judged by physician, is associated with liver injury and impaired liver function. Number of participants who had non-SAEs and SAEs are presented.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  6. Number of Participants With Worst Post-Baseline Grade Results for Hematology Parameters

    Blood samples were collected for the analysis of hematology parameters. No data collected separately for this outcome measure as any abnormal value would be recorded as an adverse event.

    Measured: Up to 4.5 years

  7. Number of Participants With Worst Post-Baseline Grade Results for Clinical Chemistry Parameters

    Blood samples were collected for the analysis of clinical chemistry parameters. No data collected separately for this outcome measure as any abnormal value would be recorded as an adverse event.

    Measured: Up to 4.5 years

  8. Number of Participants With at Least One Confirmed Positive Post-Baseline Anti-infused (NY-ESO-1 Genetically Engineered T) Cell Antibody Result

    Serum samples were collected for the determination of anti-infused (NY-ESO-1 genetically engineered T) cell antibodies (ATA) using a validated electrochemiluminescent (ECL) immunoassay. The assay involved screening, confirmation and titration steps. If serum samples tested positive in the screening assay, they were considered 'potentially positive' and were further analyzed for the specificity using the confirmation assay. A participant was considered to have a confirmed positive ATA result if they have a positive screening assay result and a positive confirmation assay result.

    Measured: Up to 4.5 years

  9. Concentration of Cytokines in Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) by CRS Status: Cohort 1: High NY-ESO-1 Expression Treated With Regimen A

    CRS is a potentially life-threatening toxicity that is observed following administration of antibodies and adoptive T-cell therapies for cancer. Serum samples were collected to analyze the concentration of cytokines using the electrochemiluminescent tagged detection antibodies. The correlation between cytokines and cytokine release syndrome was considered between participants who had serious CRS vs no CRS or Non-serious CRS. There were only 4 participants across the whole study that had serious CRS and cytokine data was available for 3 of these participants. Due to the limited number of participants that had serious CRS no statistical correlations in cytokine levels and CRS could be performed. A listing of the levels of cytokines for the 3 participants with serious CRS is available/provided.

    Measured: Up to Week 4

  10. Concentration of Cytokines in CRS by CRS Status: Cohort 2: Low NY-ESO-1 Expression Treated With Regimen A

    CRS is a potentially life-threatening toxicity that is observed following administration of antibodies and adoptive T-cell therapies for cancer. Serum samples were collected to analyze the concentration of cytokines using the electrochemiluminescent tagged detection antibodies. The correlation between cytokines and cytokine release syndrome was considered between participants who had serious CRS vs no CRS or Non-serious CRS. There were only 4 participants across the whole study that had serious CRS and cytokine data was available for 3 of these participants. Due to the limited number of participants that had serious CRS no statistical correlations in cytokine levels and CRS could be performed. A listing of the levels of cytokines for the 3 participants with serious CRS is available/provided.

    Measured: Up to Week 4

  11. Concentration of Cytokines in CRS by CRS Status: Cohort 3: High NY-ESO-1 Expression Treated With Regimen B

    CRS is a potentially life-threatening toxicity that is observed following administration of antibodies and adoptive T-cell therapies for cancer. Serum samples were collected to analyze the concentration of cytokines using the electrochemiluminescent tagged detection antibodies. The correlation between cytokines and cytokine release syndrome was considered between participants who had serious CRS vs no CRS or Non-serious CRS. There were only 4 participants across the whole study that had serious CRS and cytokine data was available for 3 of these participants. Due to the limited number of participants that had serious CRS no statistical correlations in cytokine levels and CRS could be performed. A listing of the levels of cytokines for the 3 participants with serious CRS is available/provided.

    Measured: Up to Week 4

  12. Concentration of Cytokines in CRS by CRS Status: Cohort 4: High NY-ESO-1 Expression Treated With Regimen C

    CRS is a potentially life-threatening toxicity that is observed following administration of antibodies and adoptive T-cell therapies for cancer.

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 23 inclusion and 1 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 30 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 8 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jul 2020). 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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: Up to 4.5 years). 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 NCT01343043, which also lists 3 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 30 Jun 2021.
