About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Concurrent IGFBP-2 Vaccination and Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy to Increase the Rate of Pathologic Complete Response at the Time of Cytoreductive Surgery

This phase II trial studies how well pUMVC3-IGFBP2 plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccine (IGFBP-2 vaccine) and combination chemotherapy work in treating patients with stage III-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer undergoing surgery. IGFBP-2 is a protein found in the blood and tumor cells of most who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Too much IGFBP-2 has been associated with more invasive disease. Vaccines made from DNA may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express IGFBP-2. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving IGFBP-2 vaccine and combination chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with stage III-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer undergoing surgery.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine whether the addition of an IGFBP-2 vaccine to neoadjuvant chemotherapy increases the rate of complete pathologic response (CR).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine whether the addition of an IGFBP-2 vaccine to neoadjuvant chemotherapy increases progression free survival at 12 months.

II. Determine whether the addition of an IGFBP-2 vaccine to neoadjuvant chemotherapy improves overall survival.

III. To determine whether IGFBP-2 vaccination in combination with chemotherapy increases the level of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in the tumor.

IV. To assess the level of IGFBP-2 type 1 helper cells (Th1) elicited with vaccination concurrent with chemotherapy.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To explore whether there is a predictive genomic signature for CR induction when IGFBP-2 vaccination is used in combination with chemotherapy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive paclitaxel intravenously (IV) over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 1 hour followed by IGFBP-2 vaccine intradermally (ID) 2 weeks later. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 3 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of 3 cycles, patients then undergo cytoreductive surgery.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 6 months and then once a year for 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Pathologic Complete Response (CR)

    The tissue collected at time of cytoreductive surgery, post study treatment, was evaluated by the attending pathologist assigned to look at the tissue for viable tumor cells. The corresponding surgical pathology report was reviewed to evaluate individual pCR (absence of viable tumor cells).

    Measured: At the time of cytoreductive surgery after receiving study treatment (vaccinations given intradermally approximately two weeks after each combination chemotherapy for 3 doses.)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Staining for CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD27

    Will be performed and quantitated using published methods and will be correlated with surgical CR by the Man-Whitney U or one-way analysis of variance test depending on the distribution of TIL outcomes.

    Measured: At the time of cytoreductive surgery

  2. Level of IGFBP-2 Th1 Cells Elicited With Vaccine Assessed by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Spot Assay

    Will be correlated to tumor burden at definitive surgery.

    Measured: Up to 6 months after last vaccine

  3. Level of Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) in Tumor

    Will be assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) to determine whether IGFBP-2 vaccination in combination with chemotherapy increases the level of TIL in the tumor. This was done by assessing the level of IGFBP-2 Th1 elicited by study treatment (vaccination concurrent with chemotherapy). we are looking for an increase in TIL.

    Measured: At the time of cytoreductive surgery after receiving study treatment (vaccinations given intradermally approximately two weeks after each combination chemotherapy for 3 doses.)

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Will be compared between the treatment arms. Large differences in PFS if observed between the treatment groups will be noted and described. Will be plotted by Kaplan-Meier curve, and compared to the survival data reported by Vergote et al which reported median PFS of 12 months and median OS of 30 months for patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy by a log-rank test.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  5. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Large differences in PFS if observed between the treatment groups will be noted and described. Will be plotted by Kaplan-Meier curve, and compared to the survival data reported by Vergote et al which reported median PFS of 12 months and median overall survival (OS) of 30 months for patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy by a log-rank test.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  6. Tumor Burden

    Will be correlated to level of IGFBP-2 Th1 cells.

    Measured: At the time of cytoreductive surgery

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 13 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 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?

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Jan 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Pathologic Complete Response (CR) (time frame: At the time of cytoreductive surgery after receiving study treatment (vaccinations given intradermally approximately two weeks after each combination chemotherapy for 3 doses.)). 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 14 Jan 2022.
