About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study of Peptide Vaccination for the Treatment of Patients With Solid Tumors Moderately Expressing HER2/Neu

Investigation of peptide vaccination targeting HER2/neu in patients with metastasized breast or gastric cancer with moderate HER2/neu expression.

Read the detailed description

This is an interventional phase I clinical study to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of HER2-derived peptide vaccination. HLA-A2+ patients with stage IV metastasized breast or gastric cancer with HER2 expression (IHC Score 2+) without gene amplification proved by FISH analysis, with documented stable disease or objective response after at least first line systemic chemotherapy/radiotherapy for advanced disease who have not been treated for the underlying malignant disease for 4 weeks with chemo-, radio- or immunotherapy will be included into the study. The aim of the study is to show safety and tolerability of this immunotherapeutic approach and to investigate efficacy of the immunotherapy.

Being tested
Cyclophosphamide, Sargramostim, HER2-Peptid-Vakzine, Imiquimod
Medical subject headings
Stomach Neoplasms, Breast Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • CyclophosphamideDrug

    Also called Endoxan

    Treatment of mild Endoxan application three days before Her2 vaccination

  • SargramostimDrug

    Also called Leukine

    Sargramostim is part of Her2 vaccination

  • HER2-Peptid-VakzineDrug

    Her2 vaccination is supplemented by Sargramostim and Aldara Creme application

  • ImiquimodDrug

    Also called Aldara 5% Crème

    Imiquimod is part of Her2 vaccination

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability of HER2-derived peptide vaccination measured by clinical and chemical parameters.

    To examine the safety and tolerability of HER2-derived peptide vaccination in patients with stage IV metastasized breast or gastric cancer with documented stable disease or objective response after at least first line systemic chemotherapy/radiotherapy for advanced disease.

    Measured: Safety measurement will be assessed up to 113 days relating to start of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cyclophosphamide, Sargramostim and HER2-Peptid-Vakzine in people with Gastric Cancer and Breast Cancer, run by Technical University of Munich at 1 site in Germany.

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 19 inclusion and 20 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 20 Nov 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 Germany. 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 and tolerability of HER2-derived peptide vaccination measured by clinical and chemical parameters. (time frame: Safety measurement will be assessed up to 113 days relating to start of study treatment). 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 20 Nov 2019.
