About this study

Increasing evidence suggests that immune responses might be a determining factor in lung cancer tumor progression.

The impressive clinical responses obtained with immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1/PDL-1, anti-CTLA-4) indicate that the presence of preexisting antitumor immune response is required for their efficacy and highlight the critical role of antitumor T cell immunity. Recent progress on the fields of tumor immunology underlines the critical role of CD4 helper 1 T lymphocyte (TH1) in the control of innate and adaptive anticancer immunity. Therefore, monitoring tumor specific TH1 response could be relevant in cancer patients.

In order to monitor tumor-specific CD4 Th1 responses in most cancer patients, the investigators group have previously described novel promiscuous peptides (referred as UCP:Universal Cancer Peptides) derived from human telomerase (TERT), a prototype of shared tumor antigen.

By using UCP-based immuno-assay, pre-existing UCP-specific Th1 responses have been detected in the blood of lung cancer patients (Telocap01). The frequency and magnitude of this response were inversely correlate to the disease stage. Furthermore, UCP-specific responses were significantly found in patients with low PD1+ and TIM3+ T cells.

Then in TeloCap02 study, UCP specific Th1 immune responses will be evaluated in lung cancer before and after treatment (chemotherapy, immunotherapy).

What is being measured

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

  1. overall survival

    time between the date of initiation of treatment and the date of death from any cause

    Measured: date of death from any cause (within 2 years after the initiation of the treatment)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. UCP-specific Th1 responses measured by ELISPOT assay

    Measured: up to 12 months

  2. Progression free survival

    time interval between the date of initiation of treatment and the date of first progression (local, remote [extent of the disease by RECIST v1.1] second cancer) or death from any cause.

    Measured: date of first progression of the disease (within 2 years after the initiation of the treatment)

  3. quality of life related to health measured by EORTC-QLQC30 and LC13 questionaries.

    Measured: from the inclusion to patient death, up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biological samples in people with Lung Cancer, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon at 5 sites in France.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 18 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France. 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?

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?

overall survival (time frame: date of death from any cause (within 2 years after the initiation of the treatment)). 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 NCT02846103, which also lists 2 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 18 Sep 2023.
