Trial summary

In this study, the investigators examine using a combination of two types of HLA-A*2402 (or HLA-A*0201)-restricted epitope peptides, which were derived from VEGF-R1 and VEGF-R2 the safety, immunogenicity, and antitumor effect of vaccine treatment for advanced solid tumor patients who are refractory to standard therapy.

About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Study Using Epitope Peptide Restricted to HLA-A*24 or HLA-A*02 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors That Are Refractory to Standard Therapy

In this study, the investigators examine using a combination of two types of HLA-A*2402 (or HLA-A*0201)-restricted epitope peptides, which were derived from VEGF-R1 and VEGF-R2 the safety, immunogenicity, and antitumor effect of vaccine treatment for advanced solid tumor patients who are refractory to standard therapy.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immune response and clinical efficacies of HLA-A*2402 or HLA-A*0201 restricted epitope peptides (VEGF-R1 and VEGF-R2) emulsified with Montanide ISA 51 for advanced solid tumors.

In this phase I/II trial, the investigators examine using a combination of the two peptides the safety, immunogenicity, and antitumor effect of vaccine treatment for HLA-A*2402 or HLA-A*0201-positive advanced solid tumor patients who are refractory to standard therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HLA-A*2402 or A*0201 restricted peptidesBiological

    Open Label, Non-Randomized, Safety/Efficacy study:

    1. HLA-A*2402-positive patients will be vaccinated subcutaneously once a week with HLA-A*2402 restricted peptides for VEGF-R1 and VEGF-R2 with adjuvant.
    2. HLA-A*0201-positive patients will be vaccinated subcutaneously once a week with HLA-A*0201 restricted peptides for VEGF-R1 and VEGF-R2 with adjuvant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing HLA-A*2402 or A*0201 restricted peptides in people with Solid Tumors, run by Shiga University at 1 site in Japan.

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 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 19 Mar 2019. 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 Japan. 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 combined 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.

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?

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?

Evaluation of safety: the number of adverse events of vaccination therapy. (time frame: 2 months). The study lists 2 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 19 Mar 2019.
