About this study

Official title: da VINci Study (OTSGC-A24 Therapeutic Peptide Vaccine + Ipilimumab + Nivolumab) Nivolumab, Ipilimumab and OTSGC-A24 Therapeutic Peptide Vaccine in Gastric Cancer - a Combination Immunotherapy Phase Ib Study.

The primary hypothesis is that cancer vaccine can convert non-immunogenic gastric cancer into immunogenic phenotype susceptible to PD1 inhibition. This would lead to an improved radiological response rate and favorable immune contexture for immune checkpoint blockade

Read the detailed description

Primary Objectives

  1. Safety cohorts: To evaluate the safety of OTSGC-A24 and nivolumab (+ ipilimumab) in patients with refractory gastric cancer.
  2. Arm A: To determine the objective response rate of OTSGC-A24 and nivolumab in advanced gastric cancer.
  3. Arm B: To determine the objective response rate of OTSGC-A24 and nivolumab + ipilimumab in advanced gastric cancer.

Secondary Objectives

  1. To compare the difference in objective response rates between Arm A and Arm B
  2. To compare the tumoral immune contexture and PDL-1 expression before treatment, after OTSGC-A24, and after nivolumab (+ ipilimumab) in combination with OTSGC-A24.
  3. To determine the serum cytotoxic T-cell response using enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT) in PBMC.
  4. To determine the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of Arm A and Arm B.
  5. To evaluate the effect of OTSGC-A24 and nivolumab + ipilimumab on clinical and immune PD markers.
  6. Evaluate the effects of treatment on peripheral T-cell phenotypic profiles with epitope-specificities by coupling mass cytometric analyses with highly-multiplexed peptide-MHC tetramer staining technology.
  7. Identify potential biomarkers for treatment response and mechanisms of secondary resistance by studying gene expression profiles and phenotypic/functional markers of tumour and infiltrating immune cells.

End Points - Efficacy

The endpoints for efficacy are:

  • Induction of specific CTL response after vaccination
  • Response rate
  • Progression-free survival
  • Overall survival End Points - Safety

The endpoints for safety are:

  • overall adverse events observed, treatment-related adverse events, and category (eg percentage of patients with any-grade treatment-related adverse events and grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events).

What participants receive

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

  • OTSGC-A24Drug

    OTSGC-A24 is administered as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection. Nivolumab and ipilimumab are administered by intravenous (IV) infusion, meaning the drug is given through a catheter in a vein. A pump will be used to ensure the correct amount of medicine is given through the catheter. The nivolumab and ipilimumab infusions each take about 30 minutes. There will be a break of about 30 minutes in between the nivolumab and ipilimumab infusions (if given on the same day). OTSGC-A24 and nivolumab are administered every 2 weeks, while ipilimumab is administered every 6 weeks.

  • NivolumabDrug

    OTSGC-A24 is administered as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection. Nivolumab and ipilimumab are administered by intravenous (IV) infusion, meaning the drug is given through a catheter in a vein. A pump will be used to ensure the correct amount of medicine is given through the catheter. The nivolumab and ipilimumab infusions each take about 30 minutes. There will be a break of about 30 minutes in between the nivolumab and ipilimumab infusions (if given on the same day). OTSGC-A24 and nivolumab are administered every 2 weeks, while ipilimumab is administered every 6 weeks.

  • IpilimumabDrug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing OTSGC-A24, Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in people with Gastric Cancer, run by National University Hospital, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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 14 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Apr 2019. 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 Singapore. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Wei Peng Yong ((65) 6779 5555, Wei_Peng_Yong@nuhs.edu.sg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse Event and Adverse Drug Reaction (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03784040, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 8 Apr 2019.
