Trial summary

In this study, the investigators would like to assess how intravesical BCG schedules after immunization of non muscle invasive bladder patients with the recMAGE-A3 protein, together with adjuvant AS15 (recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI), may enhance innate and vaccine-specific T cell responses both systemically and locally in… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: BCG Modulation of the recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI Response in the Treatment of Patients With Non Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

In this study, the investigators would like to assess how intravesical BCG schedules after immunization of non muscle invasive bladder patients with the recMAGE-A3 protein, together with adjuvant AS15 (recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI), may enhance innate and vaccine-specific T cell responses both systemically and locally in the bladder.

Conditions

What is being measured

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

  1. Recording adverse events by assessment of vital signs, physical examination, haematology and blood chemistry to measure safety and tolerability

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Flow cytometric analysis of type and number of immune cell types in urine

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Measurement of titers of antibodies against recMAGE-A3 in serum

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Assessment of disease recurrence by control cystoscopy

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MAGE-A3 ASCI and BCG in people with Bladder Cancer, run by Patrice Jichlinski at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 6 inclusion and 12 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 4 Feb 2015. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Recording adverse events by assessment of vital signs, physical examination, haematology and blood chemistry to measure safety and tolerability (time frame: 6 months). 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 4 Feb 2015.
