About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase I/II Study of Nivolumab in Combination With GM.CD40L Vaccine in Adenocarcinoma of the Lung

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) a tumor vaccine (GM.CD40L) used in combination with Nivolumab will have on participants and their cancer. Another purpose of the study is to find out the maximum tolerated dose of nivolumab in combination with GM.CD40L vaccine. Investigators also want to find out if the combination of GM.CD40L and nivolumab can boost the immune system of participants like you, and how their immune system reacts, both before and after the treatment.

Read the detailed description

This study has two parts and participants may be involved in either Phase I part or Phase II.

Phase I: Investigators plan to enroll participants in cohorts of 6 and monitor side effects over a 21 day period to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of nivolumab, which will be given in combination with GM.CD40L. This is being done since this study involves a combination of treatments that have not been studied in humans before and to find the best dose for the Phase II part of the study.

Phase II: Investigators plan to compare any clinical benefit in the participants who receive the combination of GM.CD40L vaccine with nivolumab, to participants that receive only nivolumab.

What participants receive

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

  • NivolumabDrug

    Also called Opdivo, Anti-PD-1

    Participants will receive treatment with nivolumab as a 60-minute +/-5 minutes intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.

  • GM.CD40L VaccineBiological

    Also called Immunotherapy, Cell Vaccine

    GM.CD40L will be injected intradermally every 2 weeks for 4 injections, then every month for 4 injections, then every 3 months until the patient is off treatment.

Study groups in NCT02466568
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Phase I and Phase II Treatment ArmExperimentalParticipants will receive nivolumab and GM.CD40L. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. The nivolumab will be given first followed by the GM.CD40L vaccine for those enrolled on this arm.
Receives: Drug: Nivolumab; Biological: GM.CD40L Vaccine
Phase II Control ArmActive comparatorNivolumab treatment without GM.CD40L. Nivolumab will be given every 2 weeks at a dose of 3mg/kg.
Receives: Drug: Nivolumab

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase I: Recommended Phase II Dose

    The recommended Phase II dose will be defined as the highest dose level of GMCD40L vaccine in combination with nivolumab that induced dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in fewer than 33% of patients.

    Measured: Up to 2 months

  2. Phase II: Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Objective tumor response per treatment arm. ORR: Complete Response (CR) = disappearance of all target lesions + Partial Response (PR) = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Phase II: Overall Survival (OS)

    OS per treatment arm. Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization until death from any cause.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Phase II: Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS per treatment arm. Progressive Disease (PD): = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Nivolumab and GM.CD40L Vaccine in people with Lung Cancer and Adenocarcinoma of the Lung, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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 9 Sep 2019. 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 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?

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?

Phase I: Recommended Phase II Dose (time frame: Up to 2 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Sep 2019.
