About this study

Official title: First-in-human Phase I Clinical Trial of a Combined Immune Modulatory Approach Using TetMYB Vaccine and Anti-PD1 Antibody in Patients With Advanced Solid Cancer Including Colorectal or Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma.

The purpose of this research study is to look at the effects, good or bad, of TetMYB Vaccine in combination with BGB-A317 in patients with advanced or metastatic solid cancers (including colorectal or adenoid cystic cancer).

The immune system is the body's defence against cancer, bacteria and viruses. TetMYB Vaccine is a vaccine that helps your immune system to recognise the cancer cells. BGB-A317 is an antibody (a type of protein made in the body in response to a foreign substance) that helps to stop or reverse the growth of tumour cells.

Up to 32 participants may take part in this study, which is divided into 2 stages: dose escalation (different doses will be tested in small groups of patients) and dose expansion (one or more doses may be tested in a larger group of patients). Which stage you participate in will depend on which is open at the time. Your study doctor will discuss this with you.

During dose escalation, study patients will receive increasing doses of the TetMYB Vaccine, starting at a low dose. During dose expansion, study patients will receive the dose determined as safe in dose escalation.

The study design is as follows:

In the dose finding stage, the first patient of each dose level will receive 6 consecutive weekly doses of intradermal TetMYB monotherapy for safety evaluation. If there are no reported DLTs, the next 2 patients of the same dose level will also receive 6 consecutive weekly intradermal doses of TetMYB, however with 3 weekly doses of BGB-A317 commencing with the fourth TetMYB dose. The dosage of TetMYB are as follows:

  • Dose level 1: 100 ug in 100 uL of sterile dH2O containing 5% DMSO
  • Dose level 2: 500 ug in 100 uL of sterile dH2O containing 5% DMSO
  • Dose level 3: 1000 ug in 100 uL of sterile dH2O containing 5% DMSO.

In the dose expansion stage, the dosage will be the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) identified in the dose-finding stage and in combination with BGB-A317.

TetMYB Vaccine is being developed and manufactured by the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and in accordance with guidelines provided by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA and Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia. TetMYB Vaccine is an experimental treatment and is currently not approved for use in any country. This means that it is not an approved treatment for cancer in Australia. This will be the first time that the TetMYB vaccine is given to humans.

BGB-A317 is being developed by BeiGene, a biopharmaceutical company. BGB-A317 is an experimental treatment. This means that it is not an approved treatment for solid cancers in Australia.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of Grade 3 or 4 or greater adverse events (AEs) according to CTCAE v4.03 criteria and clinical laboratory abnormalities defined as dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs).

    Measured: End of Week 6

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Tolerability of the treatment as defined as receiving a minimum of 4 doses of TetMYB Vaccine within 6 weeks of starting treatment.

    Measured: End of Week 6

  2. The occurrence, type, severity and relationship to treatment of adverse events occurring after the first 6 weeks of treatment, described according to CTCAE v4.03 criteria.

    Measured: Week 7 and through study completion, an average of 12 months.

  3. The objective response as defined by the achievement of a complete (irCR) or partial (irPR) response, based on irRECIST criteria within 12 weeks of first vaccination.

    Measured: End of Week 12

  4. Clinical benefit as defined by wither the achievement of a complete (irCR) or partial (irPR) response as per irRECIST criteria; or the maintenance of stable disease (irSD), as per irRECIST criteria, at 12 weeks after commencement of treatment.

    Measured: End of Week 12.

  5. Progression free survival (PFS) as defined as the time from first vaccination to the earliest of date of disease progression as assessed by irRECIST or death from any cause.

    Measured: From the date of treatment commencement to until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 48 months.

  6. Overall survival (OS) as defined as the time from first vaccination to date of death from any cause.

    Measured: From the date of treatment commencement to the date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 48 months..

  7. To demonstrate a MYB-specific immune response through epitope stimulation of PBMCs and assessment with CBA, FACS for IFN-γ and TNF-α production, and via the evaluation of changes in tumour microenvironment in pre- and post-treatment biopsies.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 48 months.

  8. To assess metabolic response, as assessed by FDG-PET scan.

    Measured: Week 4, at the time of disease progression and 4 weeks after treatment is ceased.

  9. The objective immune response as defined by achievement of a complete or partial response (irCR or irPR), based on irRECIST criteria.

    Measured: End of week 12.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TetMYB Vaccine and BGB-A317 in people with Colorectal Cancer and Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, run by Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Australia at 1 site in Australia.

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 16 inclusion and 22 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 15 Feb 2023. 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 Australia. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

The incidence of Grade 3 or 4 or greater adverse events (AEs) according to CTCAE v4.03 criteria and clinical laboratory abnormalities defined as dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). (time frame: End of Week 6). 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 NCT03287427, 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 15 Feb 2023.
