About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of DPV-001 DRibble Vaccine With Imiquimod in Advanced Prostate Cancer

This is a pilot study of the DRibble vaccine in patients with advanced prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this pilot study is to assess the safety and tolerability of DRibble vaccine, cyclophosphamide, imiquimod, and Ceravix in castrate resistant prostate cancer.

This study will also assess:

  • the immune profile of tumor biopsy specimens if sites amenable to biopsy are present
  • humoral and cellular responses to cancer antigens after DRibble vaccination
  • the response to a reporter antigen vaccine (Ceravix) after DRibble vaccination

An exploratory objective is to characterize the microbiome before and after study drugs administration and correlate prostate cancer responses.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • CyclophosphamideDrug

    Also called Cytoxan

    A single dose of cyclophosphamide, 300 mg/m2, will be administered intravenously 3 Days prior to the first vaccine.

  • DRibble VaccineBiological

    Also called DPV-001 DRibble vaccine

    DRibble vaccine will be administered at Weeks 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 and 22. Eight vaccinations will be administered. Week 1 and 4 vaccines will be administered by intranodal injections performed using ultrasound guidance.

  • HPV VaccinationsBiological

    Also called Ceravix

    Patients will receive a dose of 0.5-mL CERVARIX at week 1 (Day 4) and week 7 by intramuscular injection at a site distant from the DRibble vaccine.

  • ImiquimodDrug

    Imiquimod cream (5%, 250 mg) will be self-applied topically for 5 consecutive days by patients to a 4 x 5-cm outlined area of healthy extremity skin starting on the day of the second vaccine and again during each additional vaccine cycle.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DRibble VaccineExperimentalPatients will receive cyclophosphamide 3 days prior to the first of 9 planned DRibble vaccine injections. Imiquimod will be applied following 6 injections. Patients will receive 2 HPV vaccinations (Human papillomavirus).
Receives: Drug: Cyclophosphamide; Biological: DRibble Vaccine; Biological: HPV Vaccinations; Drug: Imiquimod

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety Assessment

    Patients will come to clinic 10 times over a 28 week period and have blood tests and vital sign measurements at each visit. In addition, patients will have 8 physical exams and performance status evaluations during this time period to evaluate possible toxicities related to study treatment.

    Measured: 28 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Immune Response

    Patients will have 11 blood draws during the study to evaluate the immune response. In addition, patients will undergo two leukapheresis procedures and provide two biopsy samples (if cancer is amenable to safe biopsy) to evaluate immune response.

    Measured: 28 weeks

  2. Prostate Cancer Response to DRibble vaccine

    Patients will have 8 Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Tests over a 22-week period and 3 CT scans over a 28-week period to assess response to treatment.

    Measured: 28 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cyclophosphamide, DRibble Vaccine and HPV Vaccinations in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate, run by UbiVac 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 11 Oct 2018. 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 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?

Safety Assessment (time frame: 28 Weeks). 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 11 Oct 2018.
