About this study

Official title: T-cell Epitopes Associated With Impaired Peptide Processing (TEIPP)- Targeting Immunotherapy in Patients With Relapsed Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

In this multicenter, open label non-randomized phase I/II dose escalation study with extension cohort HLA-A*0201-positive patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be included. The primary aim of this study is determine the safety, tolerability and immune modulating effects of the therapeutic LRPAP1 synthetic long peptide (LRPAP7-30V-SLP) vaccine (TEIPP24) at different doses. Secondary objectives are to assess the specificity and immune modulatory effects of the vaccine, to assess the antigen and immune status of the patients, and to determine progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and the radiological tumor response up to one year after first vaccination.

Read the detailed description

Immunogenic tumors can be controlled by tumor-reactive Tcells either directly or after checkpoint blockade. In the end, most tumors will develop mechanisms to escape immune control. One of such a mechanism is formed by the functional impairment of the intracellular peptide transporter TAP1/TAP2 by mutation of downregulated expression. As a result the presentation of conventional T-cell epitopes in HLA class I is lost, and hence tumor-reactive CD8+ T-cells fail to recognize and kill tumor cells. This type of immune escape can occur in up to 50% of primary tumors and is increased in the metastatic lesions of such tumors. The presence of these TAP defects correlate with worse clinicopathological parameters and has been associated with loss of durable benefit to checkpoint inhibition. The unmet need, therefore, is the development of a therapy that can reinforce effective tumor-immunity to cancers displaying TAP-defects for which conventional therapeutic cancer vaccines and/or checkpoint blockade do not work. TEIPP therapy may fill this position by reinstalling an effective antitumor response to TAP-defective tumors thereby increasing the overall survival of patients failing first line therapy.

In this prospective, single arm, multicenter, open-label, phase I-II clinical study, HLA-A*0201-positive patients with NSCLC failing first line of treatment will be enrolled in 3 cohorts and one extension cohort of 6 patients (at the highest safe and tolerable dose) combined with a checkpoint inhibitor targeting PD-1/PD-L1 (CPI), to include 24 patients in total. The maximal total treatment duration is 9 weeks. The first 6 patients will be enrolled in cohort 1, the next 6 patients in cohort 2, the next 6 patients in cohort 3. The decision to start enrollment at the next dose level will be made by assessing the safety after 3 out of 6 patients at the previous dose level have completed vaccine therapy.

Patients will receive an off the shelf TEIPP24 vaccine mixed with Montanide ISA-51 adjuvant, which will be administered every three weeks for a period of three rounds of vaccination. Patient cohort 1 will be treated with TEIPP24 at a dose of 20ug of peptide, patients in cohort 2 with TEIPP24 at a dose of 40ug of peptide and patients in cohort 3 with TEIPP24 at a dose of 100ug of peptide. Patients in the extension cohort will receive the highest safest dose in combination with pembrolizumab (a CPI). Patients will receive three rounds of vaccination three weeks apart via one subcutaneous (SC) injection in a limb. The SC route of administration of TEIPP24 vaccine is dictated by the use of Montanide ISA51. Subsequently patients will be followed up to 1 year after the first vaccination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety assessment based on the incidence rate of serious adverse drug reactions (ADR) as assessed by NCI-CTCAE version 5.0.

    Safety of the therapeutic LRPAP1 synthetic long peptide ( LRPAP7-30V-SLP) vaccine (TEIPP24) determined by the incidence rate at each dose level based on the following safety parameters: adverse drug reactions (ADR) and serious ADRs, changes in haematology and chemistry values, including those associated with hepatic and renal function, and assessment of physical examinations, vital signs and performance status. NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 will be used.

    Measured: Week 8 (two weeks after the third TEIPP24 vaccination)

  2. Tolerability assessment based on patients' tolerability of adverse drug reactions (ADR)

    Tolerability of the therapeutic LRPAP1 synthetic long peptide ( LRPAP7-30V-SLP) vaccine (TEIPP24) determined by patients' tolerability of ADRs. NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 will be used.

    Measured: Week 8 (two weeks after the third TEIPP24 vaccination)

  3. Immunogenicity assessed by HLA-A*0201-restricted LRPAP21-30 -specific CD8+ T-cell reactivity

    HLA-A*0201-restricted LRPAP21-30 -specific CD8+ T-cell reactivity will be determined by measuring the magnitude and function of HLA-A*0201-restricted LRPAP21-30 -specific CD8+ Tcells present in the blood and/or tumor samples before and after TEIPP24 vaccination at different dose levels.

    Measured: Week 3-6-9 (three weeks after every TEIPP24 vaccination)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The specificity and immune modulatory effect of the vaccine, determined by isolating LRPAP(21-30V)-specific CD8+ T cells

    The specificity and immune modulatory effect of the vaccine is determined by isolating LRPAP(21-30V)-specific CD8+ T cells that are cocultured with tumor cells. CD8+ T cells that recognize LRPAP presented on these tumor cells will produce type 1 cytokines which is measured by ELISA.

    Measured: Week 3-6-9 (three weeks after every TEIPP24 vaccination)

  2. Immunohistochemical staining of tumor material

    The pretreatment (and when available post-vaccination) tumor material will be subjected to immunohistochemical staining for TAP 1, TAP 2, HLA class I and LRPAP.

    Measured: Before (week 0) and after treatment (week 9)

  3. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Progression free survival (PFS) defined as the time frame between the first vaccination and date of progression

    Measured: From week 0 up to week 52

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    Overall survival (OS) defined as the time frame between the first vaccination and date of death

    Measured: From week 0 up to week 52

  5. Radiological tumor response

    To determine the radiological tumor response up to one year after first vaccination according to RECIST v.1.1 criteria.

    Measured: From week 0 up to week 52

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 12 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 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Netherlands. 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?

Safety assessment based on the incidence rate of serious adverse drug reactions (ADR) as assessed by NCI-CTCAE version 5.0. (time frame: Week 8 (two weeks after the third TEIPP24 vaccination)). 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.
