About this study

Official title: Collection of Bone Marrow, Peripheral Blood (PB), Epithelial Tissue, and Saliva Samples From Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) to Identify MDS-Specific Antigens (MSA) for Use in Cellular Immunotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to collect information and bone marrow, blood, saliva, cheek cells and skin to be used in the laboratory to assist the sponsor in identifying a new way of treating MDS.

Read the detailed description

Goals of the study:

The purpose of this study is to collect the blood and marrow samples, and non-involved fibroblasts, that are required to identify the unique, personalized array of mutation-driven neoantigens that are expressed by the subject's MDS cells and to assess the feasibility of immunizing and expanding one or more of the patient's T cells ex vivo for investigation of their use as adoptive cellular immunotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Genomics of patients with MDS

    To sequence the exome and transcriptome obtained from MDS hematopoietic cells and the exome from non-hematopoietic cells (e.g. fibroblasts).

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Identification of patients' MDS-specific variant

    To select variants by comparing MDS versus non-MDS cell exome sequences. MDS-specific variant sequences are defined as those that differ between the two and are not common polymorphisms. We will also compare myeloid and lymphoid hematopoietic cells and assess the number of myeloid-specific vs myeloid and lymphoid MDS-related variants

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Immunogenic mutant neoantigen peptide selection

    To select putative mutation-driven neoantigen-related peptides, which represent the sequences obtained from Aim 2, according to their ability to bind to the patient's MHC using PersImmune's licensed and proprietary algorithms.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Peptide Immunogenicity confirmation and donor T cell stimulation

    To test the neoantigen peptides for their in vitro immunogenicity for autologous T lymphocytes.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Peptide immunogenicity confirmation and donor T cell stimulation

    To test the potency and specificity of neoantigen peptide-stimulated T cells for the patient's MDS cells that express the defined neoantigens.

    Measured: 2 years

  5. Data analysis and interpretation

    To create a database summarizing the data obtained.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myelodysplastic Syndromes(MDS), 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?

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 Mar 2019. 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?

Contact Rafael Bejar, MD (858-822-5485, rabejar@ucsd.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Genomics of patients with MDS (time frame: 2 years). 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 Mar 2019.
