Basic Trial Information
Summary To determine if a vaccine made from patient's own tumor tissue can stimulate an immune response against the patient's tumor cells. To determine the safety of the vaccine Further Study Information Study Objectives: To study the toxicity, safety and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses of DNP-modified autologous tumor cell vaccine (L-Vax) in patients with resectable NSCLC:
Study Population: Patients with resectable NSCLC whose therapeutic tumor surgery provides a mass, which yields adequate tumor, cells for vaccine preparation and DTH testing Study Design: A Phase I/IIa double-blind, three-dose, single center study Investigational Product: L-Vax: DNP-modified autologous NSCLC cell vaccine Dosage Form: Cell suspension Route of Administration: Intradermal Dosage and Treatment Schedule: Prior to vaccine administration, patients will be tested for DTH to autologous NSCLC cells that have been: DNP-modified, or unmodified and irradiated, or unmodified and irradiated and fixed with ethanol (if sufficient cells available) Three doses of vaccine will be tested: 5 x 105, 2.5 x 106, or 5 x 106 DNP-modified autologous NSCLC cells. An initial dose of DNP-modified autologous NSCLC cells* without Bacillus of Calmette and Guérin (BCG) followed by cyclophosphamide (CY) then weekly doses of DNP-modified autologous NSCLC tumor cells mixed with BCG for 6 weeks, and completed with one dose of DNP-modified autologous NSCLC tumor cells mixed with BCG as a 6-month booster, if adequate number of cells available.
Endpoints: Treatment-emergent and related adverse events, serious adverse events, and Grade 3 and 4 laboratory abnormalities for safety assessments Other Parameters: · DTH skin reactions for assessing the induction of immune responses to DNP-modified and unmodified autologous NSCLC tumor cells· Survival· Exploratory analysis of in vitro studies of peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from study subjects Duration of Treatment: Up to 9 months Duration of Subject Participation in Study: Three months from the patient's last vaccine Duration of Follow-up: Survival information and disease status will be collected via phone or visit on a quarterly basis for each patient beginning 30 days after the last scheduled visit until the last patient has been followed for three months from his/her last vaccine Number of Subjects Required to Meet Protocol Objectives: Up to 42 evaluable subjects Number of Study Centers: Three Number of Individual Blood Draws: 15 draws over nine months Volume of Blood Drawn: 13 Draws of 30 mL/draw (total 360 mL) and two draws of 50mL in heparinized tubes Eligibility Criteria Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria: Alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 x ULN
Topical steroid therapies [applied to the skin] are allowed, provided these are not applied to limbs injected with vaccine or skin test materials. Inhaled aerosol steroids are allowed.)
