  • Adequate bone marrow function, as measured from studies of peripheral blood (absolute neutrophil count ≥1,500/mm3, absolute lymphocyte count ≥500/mm3, platelet count 50,000/mm3, hemoglobin >8.0 mg/dL).
  • Adequate cardiac function (New York Heart Association class ≤II).
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the screening and pretreatment visits, and prior to first dose of study medication. Non-childbearing potential (other than by medical reasons) is defined as 1 of the following:
  • ≥45 years of age and amenorrheic for >1 year by self-report.
  • Amenorrheic for >2 years without a hysterectomy and oophorectomy, and follicle-stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range upon screening evaluation.
  • Status post-hysterectomy, -oophorectomy, or -tubal ligation. If of childbearing potential, female subjects must be willing to use adequate birth control during the study, starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of study therapy.
  • Male subjects with a female partner(s) of childbearing potential must agree to use a condom throughout the trial, starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of study therapy. Male subjects with pregnant partners must agree to use a condom; no additional method of contraception is required for the pregnant partner.
  • Note: Abstinence is acceptable for both female and male subjects if this is the subject's established and preferred contraception method.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects must not have received anticancer medications or investigational drugs within the following intervals before first dose of study drug:
  • ≤14 days for chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, anticancer hormone therapy, or radiation therapy, with the following exceptions:
  • Bisphosphonates and denosumab are permitted.
  • Novel imaging agents that have Phase 1 safety data and have not demonstrated therapeutic activity are permitted.
  • Physiologic steroid replacement for adrenal insufficiency (e.g., <10 mg prednisone per day) is permitted.
  • Prophylactic use of inhaled or topical corticosteroid or short course of intravenous systemic corticosteroid (≤3 days) for radiographic procedures is permitted.
Show all 17Show fewer
  • Use of physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy must be approved by the medical monitor.
  • ≤28 days for prior cancer immunotherapy.
  • ≤28 days for prior monoclonal antibody used for anticancer therapy, with the exception of denosumab.
  • ≤7 days for immunosuppressive treatment for any reason. Systemic corticosteroids are not allowed except as defined above.
  • e. ≤28 days before first dose of study drug for all other investigational study drugs or devices.
  • Note: Washout is applicable to the screening visit only, and not applicable prior to the first dose of study drug. Subjects are not to receive anti-cancer therapies from date of consent through the post treatment visit (end of treatment or final safety visit).
  • Diagnosis of clinically significant immunodeficiency (as defined by the principal investigator), or actively receiving or potentially needing any form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug until the end of the trial.
  • History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator or medical monitor.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, or social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements in the opinion of the treating investigator or medical monitor.
  • History of intolerance or allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to AGEN2017 or QS-21 adjuvant.
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ASV® AGEN2017 + QS-21 Stimulon® adjuvant in people with Solid Tumor, Adult, run by Agenus Inc. at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 17 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 2 Dec 2021. 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 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?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergence Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability) (time frame: 1 Year). 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 2 Dec 2021.
