A Study to Determine the Immunogenicity and Oral Tolerance to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH)
A Early Phase 1 study testing Immucothel Alone (Part A), Immucothel+Montanide (Part A) and Immucothel Alone or Immucothel+Montanide (Part B) in people with Autoimmune Disorders, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to test the oral tolerance of Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) and to determine if Immucothel by itself is strong enough to trigger the immune response. If not, Immucothel will be tested in combination with an adjuvant to determine if an adequate immune response can be seen. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Pilot Study to Determine the Immunogenicity of Immucothel® and Oral Tolerance Induction With Biosyn Native KLH in Healthy Subjects (ITN047AI)
The purpose of this study is to test the oral tolerance of Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) and to determine if Immucothel by itself is strong enough to trigger the immune response. If not, Immucothel will be tested in combination with an adjuvant to determine if an adequate immune response can be seen.
Read the detailed description
One type of normal immune response is called "oral tolerance." This is when the immune system (the body's natural defense system against illness) turns off (e.g. does not respond) to foods or to other proteins that are eaten. Oral tolerance test is done by feeding people a protein and then vaccinating them with the same protein. Oral tolerance occurs if the vaccination does not cause an immune response.
In this study, oral tolerance of Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) will be tested. KLH is a large protein extracted from a mollusk (a sea animal). The 'native KLH' (which is a large version of this protein) formulation will be used for oral feeding. Immucothel (a smaller version of the KLH protein) will be used for vaccination (injection). Immucothel is an investigational vaccine currently used to treat bladder cancers outside of the US.
Since these particular KLH products have never been used in oral tolerance studies, the investigators want to make sure in this pilot study that they will work as expected in healthy participants before studying these two products in patients with auto-immune disorders.
This study will also determine if Immucothel by itself is strong enough to trigger the immune response. If not, Immucothel will be tested in combination with an adjuvant (a substance that can increase the immune response to a protein like KLH) to determine if an adequate immune response can be seen.
This study consists of two parts. Participants will participate for either 39 days (Part A) or 65 days (Part B). Regardless of the group assignment, a safety follow-up phone call will occur 6 months after the last immunization (189 day for Part A or 215 day for part B) to assess the late onset of adverse events.
Part A of the study will test the experimental vaccine Immucothel by itself or in combination with an adjuvant. Immucothel is a purified protein from a mollusk. Immucothel can be given as a sub-q injection (under the skin) alone or with an adjuvant (a small amount of mineral oil) to help to enhance the immune response. There maybe two groups in this part:
- Ten evaluable (as defined by protocol) participants will be given Immucothel alone by injection on two occasions, If Immucothel alone creates an immune response in most of the participants then Part A will be completed.
- If Immucothel alone does not create an immune response in most of the participants in Part A, then 10 new evaluable (as defined by protocol) participants will be asked to volunteer to test Immucothel in combination with the adjuvant Montanide (mineral oil). This will be given by injection on two occasions If there is an immune response in most of the participants to this combination of Immucothel and Montanide then Part A will be done.
Part B of the study will test the successful Immucothel regimen from Part A with oral KLH. Ten new evaluable (as defined by protocol) participants will be given the experimental oral KLH.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Participants With a Positive Immune Response to T Cell Stimulation Index (SI) as Measured by 3H-thymidine Incorporation After in Vitro KLH Stimulation of PBMC (Part A)
T cell stimulation index (SI) as measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation after in vitro keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). An SI ≥3 on day 16 will indicate the presence of immune response. The SI is the ratio of 3H-thymidine incorporation by T cells in the presence of KLH stimulation to 3H-thymidine incorporation by T cells in the absence of stimulation. Higher values correspond with lower tolerance to KLH.
Measured: Day 16
Participants Demonstrating Tolerance to KLH Using T Cell Stimulation Index (SI) as Measured by 3H-thymidine Incorporation After in Vitro KLH Stimulation of PBMC (Part B)
T cell stimulation index (SI) as measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation after in vitro keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). An SI <3 on Day 32 indicated tolerance to KLH. The SI is the ratio of 3H-thymidine incorporation by T cells in the presence of KLH stimulation to 3H-thymidine incorporation by T cells in the absence of stimulation. Higher values correspond with lower tolerance to KLH.

Time frame: Day 16
T cell stimulation index (SI) as measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation after in vitro keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). An SI ≥3 on day 16 will indicate the presence of immune response. The SI is the ratio of 3H-thymidine incorporation by T cells in the presence of KLH stimulation to 3H-thymidine incorporation by T cells in the absence of stimulation. Higher values correspond with lower tolerance to KLH.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Early Phase 1 study testing Immucothel Alone (Part A), Immucothel+Montanide (Part A) and Immucothel Alone or Immucothel+Montanide (Part B) in people with Autoimmune Disorders, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) 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 3 inclusion and 9 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 12 Apr 2016. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Apr 2016). 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?
Participants With a Positive Immune Response to T Cell Stimulation Index (SI) as Measured by 3H-thymidine Incorporation After in Vitro KLH Stimulation of PBMC (Part A) (time frame: Day 16). The study lists 4 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 12 Apr 2016.
