About this study

Official title: Evaluating the Safety and Biological Activity of a Dendritic Cell Survivin Vaccine in Patients With Multiple Myeloma Undergoing Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

The purpose of this study is to test what effects (good and bad) a new cancer vaccine will have on participants and their cancer, when administered before and after their autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT).

The name of the vaccine is called Dendritic Cell Survivin Vaccine (DC:AdmS). The vaccine is made using the participant's own blood cells. The vaccine will contain a virus called an adenovirus, similar the virus that causes the common cold. The virus has been changed so it cannot infect humans and cause infections. The vaccine will be prepared at Moffitt Cancer Center in the Cell Therapy Laboratory Facility.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed to test the safety and efficacy of the survivin vaccine, as well as the biological activity. A total sample size of 30 patients will be used for the study. In the 1st stage, 10 patients will be used to evaluate the safety and futility of the vaccine. If it passes the 1st stage, investigators will enroll another 20 patients (as 2nd stage) to evaluate the efficacy. The two- stage experiment is based on Simon minmax two-stage design for efficacy. Vaccine will be administered in two stages. After the first survivin vaccination, participants will be mobilized with G-CSF and both in vivo-primed T cells and stem cells will be collected in the same apheresis (the graft). T cells and the CD34 progenitor cells will be transferred back to the participant at the time of autologous graft infusion. Participants will receive re-vaccination on, or near, day 21 after transplant.

What participants receive

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

  • Survivin VaccineBiological

    Pre-transplant vaccination : The target dose of Survivin+ Dendritic cells (survivin+, CD11c+, Human Leukocyte Antigen - antigen D Related (HLA-DR)+ by flow-cytometry) is 15 x 10^6 cells. A minimum of 1 x 10^6 cells and a maximum of 20 x 10^6 cells will be administered.

    Post-transplant vaccination: The target dose of Survivin+ Dendritic cells (survivin+, CD11c+, HLA-DR+ by flow-cytometry) is 15 x 10^6 cells. A minimum of 1 x 10^6 cells and a maximum of 20 x 10^6 cells will be administered.

  • Autologous Hematopoietic Cell TransplantationProcedure or surgery

    Also called HCT

    The participant's own cells are collected from their blood, frozen, and then given back to them after they receive chemotherapy.

  • Prevnar 13Biological

    Also called PCV13

    13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13, Prevnar13). Co-Immunization: All participants will be co-immunized with Prevnar at each time they receive the survivin vaccine. This vaccine will be administered intramuscular (IM) 0.5cc.

  • Granulocyte-colony Stimulating FactorDrug

    Also called G-CSF

    After the first survivin vaccination, participants will be mobilized with G-CSF.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Survivin Vaccine and Autologous HCTExperimentalDendritic Cell Survivin Vaccine (DC:AdmS) and Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT). Participants will receive 1 pre-transplant survivin vaccine, 7-30 days prior to stem cell apheresis collection. After the first survivin vaccination, participants will be mobilized with Granulocyte-colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF). A second survivin vaccine will be administered on day +21 (between day+20 and +34) after HCT. All participants will be co-immunized with Prevnar 13 at each time they receive the survivin vaccine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Complete Response (CR)

    Complete Response: A treatment outcome where there are ≤5% plasma cells in the bone marrow and no evidence of myeloma proteins in the serum or urine as measured by standard laboratory techniques.

    Measured: 90 days post treatment

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    The safety of DC:AdmS when administered to patients with myeloma before and at day +21 after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The approach for assessing potential toxicity of survivin vaccination will focus predominantly on assessing hematopoietic reconstitution, including T cell repopulation and gastrointestinal toxicity. Investigators will also monitor for autoimmune disorders involving other tissues where survivin expression has been demonstrated: these include keratinocytes and melanocytes, myocardium, liver, breast, and brain. The most sensitive test to assess the potential toxicity of survivin vaccination on hematopoietic function is the time of neutrophil repopulation after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). Beginning on day of ASCT, participants will be monitored daily for engraftment, defined by an absolute neutrophil count of 500 cells per microliter that is sustained for at least 3 days.

    Measured: Up to 6 months post treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Improved Immunologic Response

    The ability of DC:AdmS to induce T cell immune responses against survivin when administered to patients with myeloma before and at day +21 after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

    Immunologic responses: be measured at baseline prior to the first vaccination (i.e., baseline), after stem cell mobilization and collection (i.e., pre-transplant), and post-transplant at day +60, +90, and +180. Each time 100 cc of peripheral blood will be collected. Immune response evaluations will consist of the following: Determination of the survivin specific T cell frequency using limiting dilution analysis and freely available online software; Analysis of Interferon-γ producing T cells in ELISPOT assays in response to DC loaded survivin peptide pool; Measurement of anti-pneumococcal immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody titers and T cell responses against cross-reacting material (CRM) adjuvant; Evaluation of immunomodulatory phenotypes by T cell subsets before and after vaccination.

    Measured: 180 days (6 months) post vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Survivin Vaccine, Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and Prevnar 13 in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 1 site 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 9 inclusion and 11 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 14 Nov 2022. 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Rate of Complete Response (CR) (time frame: 90 days post treatment). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02851056, 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 14 Nov 2022.
