Vaccine Therapy in Stage II, III, or IV Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancers

Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title: Phase I Study of ALVAC(2)-NY-ESO-1(M)/TRICOM (VCP2292) in Patients With Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma Whose Tumors Express NY-ESO-1 or LAGE-1 Antigen

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This was a Phase 1, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter study of the ALVAC(2)-NY-ESO-1(M)/TRICOM vaccine administered with the granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) sargramostim in patients with NY-ESO-1- or LAGE-1-positive epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancers who had completed standard therapy for primary or recurrent disease and would have normally entered a period of observation. The primary study objective was to determine the safety and tolerability of study vaccination, with secondary objectives including the determination of clinical and immunological responses.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients received subcutaneous (SC) injections with 0.5 mL of ALVAC(2)-NY-ESO-1(M)/TRICOM on Day 1 and 100 μg of the GM-CSF sargramostim on Days 1 through 4 in continuous 28-day cycles for up to 6 cycles. No dose escalation of either vaccine component was permitted. Patients received study vaccinations until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Safety was evaluated by continuous monitoring of adverse events (AEs), concomitant medications, and vital signs, as well as through hematology and chemistry laboratory testing and physical examinations. Efficacy was determined through tumor response evaluations, cancer antigen (CA)-125 levels, and cellular and humoral immune responses (i.e., NY-ESO-1-specific T cells, antibodies to NY-ESO-1 and ALVAC, and delayed-type hypersensitivity [DTH] testing). ;
