About this study

Official title: An Observational Feasibility Study for the Production of a Patient-Specific Neoantigen Cancer Vaccine and Screening Study for a Shared Neoantigen Cancer Vaccine in Patients With Advanced Cancer

The purpose of this study is 1) to evaluate the feasibility of manufacturing a patient-specific neoantigen cancer vaccine, which involves predicting the patient's neoantigens and generating a vaccine that encodes the predicted neoantigens; and, 2) to identify and select patients who may be eligible for a shared neoantigen cancer vaccine where their tumor contains a specific shared mutation and who have the correct HLA allele capable of presenting the neoantigen derived from the tumor-specific mutation.

Read the detailed description

Gritstone is developing two neoantigen-based cancer vaccines: the first is a patient-specific cancer vaccine that requires a manufacturing period for each patient and the second is an off-the-shelf cancer vaccine that targets shared neoantigens.

The process of generating a patient-specific neoantigen cancer vaccine involves multiple steps, including collection of patient tumor and blood specimens, performing next-generation sequencing (NGS), predicting the neoantigens to be included in the patient-specific vaccine, and the manufacture and release of the patient-specific vaccine. Gaining experience in managing the manufacturing process will provide important insights and experience regarding this process to be used in operationalizing future clinical trials.

Selecting patients who may be eligible to receive a shared neoantigen vaccine requires first identifying patients whose tumor possesses a neoantigen derived from an oncogenic mutation that is encoded by the vaccine, and then determining whether the patient expresses a matching HLA allele for antigen presentation.

Study participants will not receive any investigational treatment as part of this trial. Patients screened in this study may be able to enroll in a separate investigational treatment study sponsored by Gritstone Oncology, provided that the patient meets the specified eligibility criteria for that treatment study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Group 1 only: Presence of neoantigens sufficient to warrant patient-specific vaccine manufacture

    Measured: At study enrollment

  2. Group 1 only: Percentage of patients for whom patient-specific vaccine is successfully manufactured (defined as meeting release criteria)

    Measured: Up to approximately 20 weeks

  3. Group 2 only: Percentage of patients with at least one of the twenty specified shared mutations contained in the expression cassette and a matching HLA allele for neoantigen presentation

    Measured: Up to approximately 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and Colorectal Cancer, run by Gritstone bio, Inc. at 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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?

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?

Group 1 only: Presence of neoantigens sufficient to warrant patient-specific vaccine manufacture (time frame: At study enrollment). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Sep 2020.
