A phase I study of cancer vaccine with NY-ESO-1 overlapping peptides in patients with advanced cancers expressing NY-ESO-1 antigen

UMIN ID: UMIN000001857

Registered date:10/04/2009

Basic Information

• Recruitment status: Complete: follow-up complete
• Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied: advanced esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), malignant melanoma, bladder cancer.
• Date of first enrollment: 2009/03/01
• Target sample size: 9
• Countries of recruitment: Japan
• Study type: Interventional
• Intervention(s): NY-ESO-1 OLP (4 peptides total 1 mg)+Montanide ISA-51 (1.0 mL)+ K-432 (Picibanil) (0.2 KE) Every 2 weeks x 6 times

Outcome(s)

• Primary Outcome: Toxicities and adverse events defined by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Scale.
• Secondary Outcome: NY-ESO-1 specific immunity will be assessed using blood. NY-ESO-1 reactive antibodies measured by ELISA and cellular immunity by NY-ESO-1 specific CD4 and CD8 T cells by cytokine secretion as determined by FACS analysis will be assayed. Tumor response will be assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Disease status will be assessed at baseline and 2 weeks after the sixth vaccination in patients with evaluable (measurable and non-measurable) disease.
