We intend to test the safety, and immunologic and clinical efficacy of a combination of 2 allogeneic neuroblastoma tumor cell line vaccines, one of which has been genetically modified to secrete the cytokine/chemokine combination of IL-2 and lymphotactin, in patients undergoing chemotherapy for newly diagnosed, high risk neuroblastoma who receive single autologous stem cell rescue as consolidation therapy.
This protocol will be carried out as a Phase I/IIa study to evaluate the safety and toxicity of adding a previously unstudied, unmodified, irradiated neuroblastoma cell line (SKNLP) to a studied, safe dose of a gene modified, IL-2/Lptn secreting neuroblastoma cell line SJNB-JF-IL2/Lptn to be given as a vaccine to patients diagnosed with high risk neuroblastoma.
A 3+3, phase I dose-escalation trial will be employed to assess safety of two dose levels. 3-6 patients will be enrolled at each dose level and dose-escalation rules will proceed as specified in section 5.2. A 21-day window following the first vaccination will constitute the time period for DLT assessment. Dose limiting toxicity will be any grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity as per the CTCAE v3.0 or a grade 3 injection site toxicity per the CTCAE 3.0. Exception: Grade 3 rigors/chills will be tolerated for 48-72 hours if attributable to vaccine reaction. Under the phase Iia portion, additional patients will be accrued at the MTD from the phase I portion.
Prior published studies showed a 6-fold increase (range 2 - 10-fold) in vaccine specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte precursors (CTLp) from pre to post vaccination (Institutional data; manuscript in preparation). We will use ELISPOT from blood drawn at the timepoints indicated, to assess for a change in the number of vaccine specific CTLp from baseline to 1 year after vaccination . With a cohort of 10 patients treated at the MTD, we will have 80% power to detect an alternative hypothesis of a 3.5 fold increase in CTLp (SD = 2.4) vs. a null hypothesis of 1.0 based on a two-sided, one-sample t-test with 5% alpha. We expect accrue 1 to 2 patients per month.

Vaccine and Dose Escalation: Experimental
Phase I Dose Escalation Component: While we do not suspect that addition of a second irradiated, unmodified neuroblastoma tumor cell line to the previously tested SJNB-JF gene modified cell line will affect the safety profile of the vaccine, as the SKNLP has not been tested previously in vaccine studies, we will perform an abbreviated dose escalation study of the combined vaccine to assess safety. We know that the vaccine we gave to the patients whose neuroblastoma came back was safe. The vaccine that was given to those patients was treated with the viruses to make cytokines. We have never used the 2nd cell group in patients. Because of this, we plan to treat 3 to 6 patients at a lower dose of cells to see if adding the second cell line is safe to give.
