About this study

Official title: Bone Marrow and Peripheral Blood (PB) Samples From Patients With Leukemia and PB From Their BM Donors (BMD) to Identify Leukemia-Specific Antigens (LSA) and Graft Versus Host Disease Antigens (GVHDA) for Use in Cellular Immunotherapy

The purpose of this project is to develop a process to identify highly personalized antigens that are uniquely expressed by the patient's own leukemia cells that can be used for cellular immune therapy.

Read the detailed description

It is well known that tumor cells and leukemia cells express different surface structures (called antigens) that can serve as targets for cancer cell destruction by the immune system. Effective immune therapies are characterized by high specificity and low toxicity. One of the major obstacles impeding the use of these therapies as standard of care is the identification of good target antigens. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) there is major patient to patient variation in leukemia antigens, so there is no universal AML cell target. Rather, each patient has a unique array of potential cell targets. Thanks to the rapid progress of new DNA/RNA sequencing technologies, the identification of these unique, patient-specific leukemia cell antigen-targets is now possible.

The purpose of this project is to develop a process to identify highly personalized antigens that are uniquely expressed by the patient's own leukemia cells that can be used for cellular immune therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Genomics of patients with leukemia and their HLA matched bone marrow transplant donors.

    To sequence the exome and transcriptome obtained from leukemia cells and the exome from their lymphocytes, and the lymphocytes from their HLA matched marrow transplant donors.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Identification of patients' leukemia cell mutations and polymorphisms that are different from their HLA matched bone marrow transplant donors

    To select leukemia specific mutations (aka, variants), ie those that are different from both the patient's non-leukemic cells and their HLA matched marrow transplant donor's immune cells by comparing Leukemia cell, Patient normal cell, and Donor exome sequences.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Immunogenic mutant neoantigen peptide selection

    To select peptides that represent the sequences obtained from Aim 2, according to their ability to bind to the identical patient/donor T cell major histocompatibility receptors.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Peptide immunogenicity confirmation and donor T cell stimulation

    To test the peptides from Aim 3 for their in vitro immunogenicity for T lymphocytes obtained from the donor.

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Data analysis and interpretation

    To create and analyze a database summarizing the data obtained from Aims 1-4 for the purpose of IND submission and clinical trial design.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by PersImmune, Inc at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Genomics of patients with leukemia and their HLA matched bone marrow transplant donors. (time frame: 5 years). 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 NCT02667093, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 4 Mar 2020.
