About this study

Purposes of this study are :

  • Characterization of polyfunctionality of anti-tumor T lymphocytes using in vitro inhibition of PD-1/PDL-1 pathway
  • Study and comparison of polyfunctionality of anti-tumor T lymphocytes in cohorts of patients with melanoma, lung cancer and renal carcinoma. This cancers are chosen because of use of anti-PD-1 or anti-PDL-1 antibodies
  • Comparison of this technique with IFN-γ Elispot assay for detection and quantification of anti-tumor T lymphocytes after in vitro blockade of PD-1/PDL-1 pathway.
Read the detailed description

In this study an immunomonitoring of specific responses of T lymphocytes to tumor-associated antigens based on detection of intracellular cytokines through flow cytometry, after stimulation with all-tumor antigens and blockade of PD-1/PDL-1 interaction is used. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with cancers are stimulated with 4 telomerase-peptides or peptides overlapping the entire sequence of survivin.

This project studies the frequency and role of polyfunctionality of anti-tumor T lymphocytes in cancerology with an in vitro technique detecting polyfunctional T lymphocytes with a better sensitivity based on removal of an inhibitory PD-1/PDL-1 pathway. It is a flow cytometry protocol with various theoretical advantages in terms of reproducibility and dynamic monitoring of functionality of different sub-populations of polyfunctional anti-tumor T lymphocytes. Moreover, it allows the study of molecular mechanisms involved in proliferation of polyfunctional anti-tumor T lymphocytes with the possibility to sort sub-populations.

The use of all-tumor antigens allows the use of this technique to evaluate the presence and prognostic or predictive value of this biomarker in various cancers.

Detection of polyfunctional anti-tumor T lymphocytes can be a biomarker of anti-tumor lymphocytic adaptive immunity and a potential eligibility or efficacy criteria for new immunotherapies, such as anti-PD-1 or anti-PDL-1 treatments.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, 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 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 26 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Contact Marcelo DE CARVALHO BITTENCOURT, Pr (m.decarvalho@chru-nancy.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Polyfunctionality of universal cancer peptides (UCP) and/or survivin-specific responses of T lymphocytes in presence of anti-PDL-1 antibody or isotype control, evaluated with flow cytometry (time frame: Inclusion). 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 26 Aug 2016.
