About this study

Official title: A Pilot Trial of NY-ESO-1-Specific T Cells in Patients With Metastatic NY-ESO-1-Expressing Sarcomas Receiving Palliative Radiation

This pilot, phase I trial studies the safety of cancer-testis antigen (NY-ESO-1)-specific T cells (a type of immune cell) in treating patients with NY-ESO-1-expressing sarcomas that have spread to other places in the body and are receiving palliative (relief of symptoms and suffering caused by cancer) radiation therapy. Placing a modified gene for NY-ESO-1 into white blood cells may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Palliative radiation therapy may help patients with advanced sarcoma live more comfortably. Giving NY-ESO-1-specific T cells following palliative radiation therapy may be a better treatment for patients with sarcomas.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the safety and toxicity of NY-ESO-1-specific T cells when given following high-dose, hypo-fractionated palliative radiation to patients with advanced NY-ESO-1 expressing sarcomas.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To look for preliminary evidence of systemic efficacy of NY-ESO-1-specific T-cell therapy following radiation on non-radiated tumors.

II. To determine whether radiation increases trafficking of adoptively transferred NY-ESO-1-specific T cells by comparing tumor biopsy specimens from radiated and non-radiated tumors.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo palliative radiation therapy at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist. Patients then receive NY-ESO-1-specific T cells intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes 2-3 days after completion of radiation therapy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up weekly for 2 weeks, at 4-6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks, and then for up to 6 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events Measured by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version (v)4.03

    CTCAE v4.03

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks post-treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. T Cell Transfer Based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors v1.1

    RECIST at 6 weeks after treatment (non-radiated tumors only)

    Measured: At 6 weeks post-treatment

  2. Transferred NY-ESO-1-specific T Cells Based on Flow Cytometry Using Major Histocompatibility Complex Tetramers

    Over 5% tet+ cells at 6 weeks? Patients may have detectable NY-ESO-1 specific T cells by MHC tetramers but if they are less than 5% this will be considered negative.

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks post-treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Autologous NY-ESO-1-specific CD8-positive T Lymphocytes, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Palliative Radiation Therapy in people with Sarcoma, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center 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 16 inclusion and 16 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 5 Jul 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Jul 2017). 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?

Incidence of Adverse Events Measured by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version (v)4.03 (time frame: Up to 12 weeks post-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 5 Jul 2017.
