Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
  • Patients must have received previously standard therapy for that malignancy or declined to chemotherapy/radiotherapy.
  • Estimated life expectancy > 3 months.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0,1 or 2.
  • Age 18 to 80.
  • Adequate hematologic function, with WBC ≥ 3000/microliter, hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (it is acceptable to have had prior transfusion), platelets ≥ 75,000/microliter; PT-INR <1.5 (unless patient is receiving warfarin in which case PT-INR must be <3), PTT <1.5X ULN
  • Adequate renal and hepatic function, with serum creatinine < 1.5 mg/ dL, bilirubin < 1.5 mg/dL (except for Gilbert's syndrome which will allow bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL), ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with a history of autoimmune disease, such as but not restricted to, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis, scleroderma, or multiple sclerosis. Autoimmune related thyroid disease and vitiligo are permitted.
  • Patients with serious intercurrent chronic or acute illness, such as cardiac disease (NYHA class III or IV), hepatic disease, or other illness considered by the Principal Investigator as unwarranted high risk for investigational drug treatment.
  • Patients with a medical or psychological impediment to probable compliance with the protocol should be excluded.
  • Concurrent (or within the last 5 years) second malignancy other than non melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, controlled superficial bladder cancer, or other carcinoma in situ that has been treated.
  • Presence of an active acute or chronic infection including: a urinary tract infection, HIV (as determined by ELISA and confirmed by Western Blot). Patients with HIV are excluded based on immuno-suppression, which may render them unable to respond to the vaccine; patients with chronic hepatitis are excluded because of concern that hepatitis could be exacerbated by the injections.
  • Patients on chronic steroid therapy (or other immuno-suppressives, such as azathioprine or cyclosporin A) are excluded on the basis of potential immune suppression. Patients must have had 6 weeks of discontinuation of any steroid therapy (except that used as pre-medication for chemotherapy or contrast-enhanced studies or for acute treatment (<5 days) of intercurrent medical condition such as a gout flare) prior to enrollment.
  • Pregnant and nursing women should be excluded from the protocol since this research may have unknown and harmful effects on an unborn child or on young children. If the patient is sexually active, the patient must agree to use a medically acceptable form of birth control while receiving treatment and for a period of 4 months following the last vaccination therapy. It is not known whether the treatment used in this study could affect the sperm and could potentially harm a child that may be fathered while on this study.
  • Patients with acute or chronic skin disorders that will interfere with injection into the skin of the extremities or subsequent assessment of potential skin reactions will be excluded.

About this study

Official title: Autologous Dendritic Cell-cytokine Induced Killer Cell Immunotherapy Combined Anti-PD1 in Advanced NSCLC: A Randomized Controlled Trial

A randomized controlled study to compared the clinical effects and safety of immunotherapy with dendritic cells and cytokine-induced killer cells administered with anti-PD-1 antibody in advanced NSCLC.

Being tested
Anti-PD-1 plus DC-CIK, Anti-PD-1 alone
Medical subject headings
Lung Neoplasms, Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • Anti-PD-1 plus DC-CIKBiological

    Patients will receive pembrolizumab 100mg every three weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient refusal. DC-CIK Immunotherapy: Mononuclear cells were collected aseptically with blood cell separator composition apheresis, and cultured DC-CIK cells for 10-14 days. Cells were infused back to the patients in 3 times via intravenous infusion .Patients will received at least 2 cycles of DC-CIK Immunotherapy along with 4 dosage of anti-PD-1 antibody treatment. If the evaluation of the treatment is partial response or stable disease, additional cycles were eligible.

  • Anti-PD-1 aloneBiological

    Patients will receive pembrolizumab 100mg every three weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient refusal.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival of the participants

    From starting date of anti-PD-1 antibody treatment until date of until the date of first documented disease progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall survival of the participants(OS)

    From starting date of anti-PD-1 antibody treatment until date of death from any cause

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Assessment of Patient- Reported Outcomes Version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PROCTCAE)

    To assess and compare the PRO-CTCAE by patients receiving immunotherapy

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Measured: 24 months

  4. Molecular Tumor Burden Index

    Using mutation detection in ctDNA by liquid biopsy to assess tumor dynamics

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Anti-PD-1 plus DC-CIK and Anti-PD-1 alone in people with Lung Cancer and Neoplasms, run by Capital Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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 7 Feb 2024. 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 China. 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 combined 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.

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?

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?

Progression-free survival of the participants (time frame: 12 months). 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 7 Feb 2024.
