About this study

Official title: A Phase II Clinical Trial Evaluating Autologous Dendritic Cells Pulsed With Tumor Lysate Antigen for the Treatment of Low-grade Glioma

The primary purpose of this phase II clinical trial is to determine the safety and effect on survival of patients autologous dendritic cells pulsed with autologous tumor lysate as a treatment for low-grade glioma patients. Other goals of this study are to determine if the vaccine can cause an immune response against patients' cancer cells and slow the growth of their brain tumors

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS), using intradermal injections of autologous dendritic cells harvested from peripheral blood precursors and pulsed (co-cultured) with tumor lysate derived from surgical tissues in patients with low-grade gliomas.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To monitor overall survival (OS), and cellular immune responses in brain tumor patients injected with tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cells.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive tumor lysate-pulsed autologous dendritic cell vaccine intradermally (ID) on days 0, 14, and 28.

Being tested
tumor lysate-pulsed autologous dendritic cell vaccine, laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings
Astrocytoma, Glioma, Oligodendroglioma, Brain Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) of Low Grade Glioma Patients Treated With Autologous Dendritic Cells Pulsed With Autologous Tumor Lysate

    a Kaplan-Meier curve of the PFS of our trial patients was created and compared to the PFS of control patients matched for tumor grade, recurrence number, IDH1 status and 1p/19q status.

    Measured: Each case was assessed from the baseline date of surgery to MRI evidence of tumor progression through study completion, up to 44 months.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    From date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 100 months. a Kaplan-Meier curve of the OS of our trial patients was created and compared to the OS of control patients matched for tumor grade, recurrence number, IDH1 status and 1p/19q status.

    Measured: The timeframe for OS was from the date of surgery until the date of death from any cause, up to 44 months.

  2. Anti-tumor Immune Responses

    Tumor and peripheral blood samples were collected from each of the participants and analyzed for the following biomarkers:

    IDH1-specific antibodies CD8, PD-1, and PD-L1 content, and correlations among those three biomarkers Mutation analysis/sequencing

    Measured: Tumor for analysis (CD8, Programmed Death (PD)-1, PD-L1, mutation analysis) was collected at the vaccine-related surgery shortly after enrollment. Blood for analysis (IDH1-specific antibodies) was collected at Day 0, before the first vaccine injection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing tumor lysate-pulsed autologous dendritic cell vaccine and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Adult Diffuse Astrocytoma and Adult Mixed Glioma, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 11 inclusion and 8 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 Nov 2020. 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?

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 4 Nov 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?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) of Low Grade Glioma Patients Treated With Autologous Dendritic Cells Pulsed With Autologous Tumor Lysate (time frame: Each case was assessed from the baseline date of surgery to MRI evidence of tumor progression through study completion, up to 44 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 Nov 2020.
