About this study

Phase I/II, open, prospective clinical trial, historically controlled. The objective is to evaluate the safety and, as a secondary measure, the efficacy of an experimental treatment based on a cellular therapy (vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with tumor lysate) in patients affected of metastatic or relapsed sarcomas or (Central Nervous System) CNS tumors.

Read the detailed description

Phase I/II, open, prospective clinical trial, historically controlled. Patients affected of metastatic or relapsed sarcomas or (Central Nervous System) CNS tumors will be included. The patients will receive standard treatment and experimental treatment based on a cellular therapy with vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with tumor lysate. The immunization schedule includes 4 monthly vaccines, 4 bimonthly and quarterly remaining vaccines. The vaccines will be administered intradermally in combination with standard treatment for each type of tumor.

Being tested
dendritic cells, Surgery as needed by the patient´s tumor and stage, Chemotherapy as needed by the patient´s tumor and stage, Radiation therapy as needed by the patient´s tumor and stage
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Number and type of adverse events detected in the follow up as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Event free progression, overall survival, time to progression and number and size of existent tumoral lesions as measures of clinical efficacy

    Measured: 36 months

  2. Humoral and cellular immune response as a measure of the immunogenicity of the vaccine.

    Measured: 2 weeks to 24 months

  3. Quality of life measured with QLQ-C30, QLQ-BN20 questionnaires.

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing dendritic cells, Surgery as needed by the patient´s tumor and stage and Chemotherapy as needed by the patient´s tumor and stage in people with Sarcoma and Central Nervous System Tumor, run by Clinica Universidad de Navarra, Universidad de Navarra at 1 site in Spain.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Feb 2020. 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 Spain. 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?

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?

Number and type of adverse events detected in the follow up as a measure of safety and tolerability (time frame: 24 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 21 Feb 2020.
