About this study

Official title: Phase 1-2 Study of ADXS11-001 or MEDI4736 Alone or Combination In Previously Treated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Cervical or HPV+ Head & Neck Cancer

This was a multicenter, open-label, 2-part randomized study of MEDI4736 administered as monotherapy or in combination with ADXS11-001 to participants with recurrent/persistent or metastatic squamous or non-squamous carcinoma of the cervix or metastatic human papillomaviruses (HPV)+ squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).

Read the detailed description

The study was conducted in 2 parts Part A (dose-escalation and expansion) and Part B (expansion).

Part A:

Part A of the study was a Phase 1 dose escalation evaluation of the combination treatment of ADXS11-001 at a fixed dose of 1×10^9 colony-forming units (CFU) administered intravenously (IV) every 4 weeks (Q4W) and escalating doses of MEDI4736 (3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) administered IV every 2 weeks (Q2W) to determine the safety and tolerability of the combination and to identify a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Part A also included an expansion cohort of participants with metastatic SCCHN only. Once the RP2D was identified, the expansion cohort of Part A of the study were to commence.

Part B:

Part B of the study was a Phase 2 design in which participants who had failed at least 1 prior systemic treatment for their recurrent, persistent or metastatic cervical cancer were enrolled and randomized 1:1 to receive either MEDI4736 10 mg/kg alone or MEDI4736 10 mg/kg in combination with ADXS11-001 1×10^9 CFU.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) in Part A and Part B

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Any worsening (ie, any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, was also considered an AE. A serious adverse event (SAE) was any AE that: results in death; life threatening; resulted in or prolonged an existing inpatient hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly; a new cancer; associated with an overdose; another important medical event. Treatment emergent was defined as events with onset dates on or after the first dose of study medication and within 30 days following the last dose of study medication.

    Measured: From first dose until 30 days after last dose (maximum duration: 98 weeks)

  2. Progression Free Survival (Part A and Part B): Cervical Cancer Population

    Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization until objective tumor progression based on response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 or death. The progressive disease is defined at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started, the appearance of one or more new lesions, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Participants who had not experienced disease progression or who were still alive at the time of evaluation were censored for the analysis. The PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: From randomization until objective tumor progression or death (maximum duration: 146 weeks)

  3. Progression Free Survival (Part A): Human Papillomavirus (HPV)+ Head and Neck Cancer Population

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization until objective tumor progression based on RECIST version 1.1 or death. The progressive disease is defined at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started, the appearance of one or more new lesions, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Participants who had not experienced disease progression or who were still alive at the time of evaluation were censored for the analysis. The PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: From randomization until objective tumor progression or death (maximum duration: 146 weeks)

  4. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response as Per RECIST Criteria (Part A and Part B): Cervical Cancer Population

    The objective response is defined as confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST v1.1 guidelines. The CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 millimeter (mm). The PR is defined as >= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions compared with baseline, in absence of new lesions or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions.

    Measured: From randomization until objective tumor progression or death (maximum duration: 146 weeks)

  5. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response as Per RECIST Criteria (Part A): HPV+ Head and Neck Cancer Population

    The objective response is defined as confirmed CR or PR based on RECIST v1.1 guidelines. The CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. The PR is defined as >= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions compared with baseline, in absence of new lesions or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions.

    Measured: From randomization until objective tumor progression or death (maximum duration: 146 weeks)

  6. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response as Per irRECIST Criteria (Part A and Part B): Cervical Cancer Population

    The objective response is defined as confirmed CR or confirmed PR based on immune-related RECIST (irRECIST) v1.1 guidelines. The irCR is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions, no new lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. The irPR is defined as >= 30% decrease in tumor burden compared with baseline.

    Measured: From randomization until objective tumor progression or death (maximum duration: 146 weeks)

  7. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response as Per irRECIST Criteria (Part A): HPV+ Head and Neck Cancer Population

    The objective response is defined as confirmed CR or confirmed PR based on irRECIST v1.1 guidelines. The irCR is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions, no new lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. The irPR is defined as >= 30% decrease in tumor burden compared with baseline.

    Measured: From randomization until objective tumor progression or death (maximum duration: 146 weeks)

  8. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control as Per RECIST Criteria (Part A and Part B): Cervical Cancer Population

    The DCR is defined percentage of participants with CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) based on RECIST v1.1 guidelines. The CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. The PR is defined as >= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions compared with baseline, in absence of new lesions or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. The SD is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter since the study treatment started. The PD is defined as at least 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression.

    Measured: From randomization until objective tumor progression or death (maximum duration: 146 weeks)

  9. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control as Per RECIST Criteria (Part A): HPV+ Head and Neck Cancer Population

    The DCR is defined percentage of participants with CR, PR, or SD based on RECIST v1.1 guidelines. The CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. The PR is defined as >= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions compared with baseline, in absence of new lesions or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. The SD is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter since the study treatment started. The PD is defined as at least 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression.

    Measured: From randomization until objective tumor progression or death (maximum duration: 146 weeks)

  10. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control as Per irRECIST Criteria (Part A and Part B): Cervical Cancer Population

    The DCR is defined percentage of participants with irCR, irPR, or irSD based on irRECIST v1.1 guidelines. The irCR is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions, no new lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. The irPR is defined as >= 30% decrease in tumor burden compared with baseline. The irSD is defined as neither a 30% decrease in tumor burden compared with baseline nor a 20% increase compared with nadir can be established.

    Measured: From randomization until objective tumor progression or death (maximum duration: 146 weeks)

  11. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control as Per irRECIST Criteria (Part A): HPV+ Head and Neck Cancer Population

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ADXS11-001 and MEDI4736 in people with Cervical Cancer and Cancer, run by Advaxis, Inc. at 17 sites 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 4 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Mar 2023). 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?

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) in Part A and Part B (time frame: From first dose until 30 days after last dose (maximum duration: 98 weeks)). The study lists 13 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02291055, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Mar 2023.
