About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Safety and Immunogenicity Study of Human Papillomavirus (HPV16+) Immunotherapy VB10.16 in Women With High Grade Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (HSIL; CIN 2/3)

This is an exploratory, open, prospective multi-centre study of VB10.16 immunotherapy in patients with high grade HPV16+ Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (HSIL; CIN2/3). This study will recruit approximately 27-40 female patients with high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (HSIL, CIN 2/3) at multiple sites in Europe.

Read the detailed description

The study will be divided into two phases, a dosing and expansion phase.

During the dosing phase the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of 2 different vaccination schedules of 3 mg VB10.16 immunotherapy will be established in a minimum of 12 patients with histology confirmed CIN 2.

During the expansion phase the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the selected vaccination schedule will be evaluated in approximately 15 to 20 patients with histology confirmed HPV16+ CIN 2/3.

Being tested
VB10.16 Immunotherapy (DNA vaccine)
Keywords

  • VB10.16 Immunotherapy (DNA vaccine)Biological

    Also called Biological/Vaccine

    Patients will receive 3 vaccinations of 3 mg VB10.16 at the pre-specified time points. VB10.16 will be administered intramuscularly in the area over the lateral deltoid muscle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety/tolerability

    • The percentage of patients with adverse events (AEs), including any dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), laboratory assessments and physical findings.

    Measured: 6 months (extended follow up for additional 6 months)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Immunogenicity

    • The percentage of patients with E6/E7 specific cellular immune response in the blood.
    • The percentage of patients with cellular immune response in the target lesions.
    • The percentage of patients with humoral response against the E6/E7 viral antigen.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Preliminary assessment of efficacy

    • The percentage of patients with HPV16+ clearance.
    • The percentage of patients with lesion regression

    Measured: 6 months (extended follow up for additional 6 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing VB10.16 Immunotherapy (DNA vaccine) in people with High Grade Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia, run by Nykode Therapeutics ASA at 4 sites in Germany.

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 26 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 13 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Germany. 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?

Safety/tolerability (time frame: 6 months (extended follow up for additional 6 months)). 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 NCT02529930, 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 13 Jul 2022.
