About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Trial of Cvac (Autologous Dendritic Cells Pulsed With Recombinant Human Fusion Protein [Mucin 1-Glutathione S-Transferase] Coupled to Oxidized Polymannose) in Patients With Resected Stage I or Stage II Adenocarcinoma (Cancer) of the Pancreas

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of CVac, an investigational cell therapy, in patients with resected stage I or II adenocarcinoma of the pancreas who have completed surgery with or without front-line chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

After confirmation of non-measurable disease patients will undergo leukapheresis for manufacture of the study agent.

Read the detailed description

A total of approximately 40 patients at up to 30 clinical sites will be screened for eligibility into the study within 6 weeks of completing treatment, including R0 (complete resection with no microscopic residual tumor) or R1 (complete resection with no grossly visible tumor but microscopically positive margins) surgery for stage I or stage II adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with or without chemotherapy and radiation. Eligible patients must have no measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (Eisenhauer 2009) and tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 19-9 [CA 19-9] not greater than 2 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) following surgery with or without chemotherapy or radiation. Prior surgery, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are allowed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of safety and tolerability of CVac. (adverse events, vital signs, 12 lead ECG, relevant changes in physical examination)

    Safety analyses will be performed on the Safety Population. Safety and tolerability will be summarized using descriptive statistics and or listed and assessed by adverse events, vital signs, 12 lead ECG, relevant changes in physical examination.

    Measured: 10-12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) following the initiation of Cvac in this patient population

    The efficacy endpoints for this pilot study include OS and PFS, PFS is defined as the time from baseline to the date of radiological scan used to determine Progressive disease evaluated approximately every 12 weeks after baseline.

    Measured: Participants will be followed from baseline until death from any cause or end of study, whichever comes first, assessed approximately every 12 weeks for up to 36 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CVac in people with Pancreatic Carcinoma Stage I and Pancreatic Carcinoma Stage II, run by Prima BioMed Ltd.

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 12 inclusion and 13 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Assessment of safety and tolerability of CVac. (adverse events, vital signs, 12 lead ECG, relevant changes in physical examination) (time frame: 10-12 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 3 Apr 2015.
