This was a clinical trial for women with ovarian cancer scheduled to have an operation to remove the cancerous tissue. The cancer cells removed during the planned surgery were used to attempt to make the investigational product, named Vigil. Vigil is considered an immunotherapy. In this study, participants who met the requirements to be in the study and if Vigil was successfully made from the participants cancer cells, participants underwent treatment with their standard chemotherapy regimen. At the end of the standard chemotherapy regimen and if there was no evidence of remaining cancer, participants were randomly assigned to receive the Vigil or would be assigned to the standard of care group, which in this study meant no further treatment was given to the participant. The purpose of this study was to compare the difference between the participants who received Vigil versus the usual care after completion of standard chemotherapy and to determine if Vigil delayed or prevented ovarian cancer from coming back.

Eligibility | Tissue Inclusion Criteria Patients were eligible for tissue procurement for the Vigil™ vaccine manufacturing process if they met all of the following criteria: 1. Presumptive Stage III/IV papillary serous or endometrioid ovarian cancer. 2. Per Amendment #8, treatment naïve, high risk ovarian cancer was no longer be stratified, but the following information was collected: 1. Stage IV or suboptimal (>1 cm residual) Stage III disease versus Stage III patients with optimal (=1 cm residual) disease, 2. CA-125 =10 U/ml versus CA-125 greater than 10 but less than or equal to 20 U/ml 3. IP chemotherapy versus IV chemotherapy 3. Availability of "golf-ball" size 10-30 grams tissue at time of primary surgical debulking. 4. ECOG performance status (PS) 0-2 prior to tumor debulking laparotomy 5. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document for tissue harvest. Tissue Exclusion Criteria Patients who met any of the following criteria were not eligible for tissue procurement for the Vigil manufacturing: 1. Medical condition requiring any form of chronic systemic immunosuppressive therapy (steroid or other) except physiologic replacement doses of hydrocortisone or equivalent (no more than 30 mg hydrocortisone or 10 mg prednisone equivalent daily) for < 30 days duration. 2. Known history of other malignancy unless having undergone curative intent therapy without evidence of that disease for = 3 years except cutaneous squamous cell and basal cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, in situ cervical cancer or other in situ cancers were allowed if definitively resected. 3. Brain metastases unless treated with curative intent (gamma knife or surgical resection) and without evidence of progression for = 2 months. 4. Any documented history of autoimmune disease with exception of Type 1 diabetes on stable insulin regimen, hypothyroidism on stable dose of replacement thyroid medication, vitiligo, or asthma not requiring systemic steroids. 5. Known HIV or chronic Hepatitis B or C infection. 6. Known history of allergies or sensitivities to gentamicin. 7. History of or current evidence of any condition (including medical, psychiatric or substance abuse disorder), therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration of the study, or was not in the best interest of the patient to participate, in the opinion of the treating Investigator. Study Enrollment Inclusion Criteria Patients were registered for inclusion in this study if they met all of the following criteria: 1. Histologically confirmed Stage III/IV papillary serous or endometrioid ovarian cancer. 2. Clinically defined CR (no cancer related symptoms, normal physical examination and CT scan abdomen/pelvis and CXR, and CA-125 =20 U/ml) following completion of primary surgical debulking. Patients enrolled must have completed at least 5 but no more than 6 cycles platinum/taxane adjuvant or interval debulking and chemotherapy (or chemotherapy as per recommendations of NCCN guidelines, category 1 (IP chemotherapy included)). (Patients who completed surgery/chemotherapy with a CA-125 >20 U/mL pre-registration had the option of being followed up to 2 months if serial CA-125 values continued to decrease at a rate of CA-125 decrease of = 50% per month.) 3.

Patients with history of brain metastases. 4. Patients with compromised pulmonary disease. 5. Short term (<30 days) concurrent systemic steroids = 0.25 mg/kg prednisone per day (maximum 7.5 mg/day) and bronchodilators (inhaled steroids) were permitted; patients requiring other steroid regimens and/or immunosuppressives at randomization were excluded. 6. Prior splenectomy. 7. Prior malignancy (excluding nonmelanoma carcinomas of the skin and carcinoma in situ cervix) unless in remission for = 2 years. 8. Kaposi's Sarcoma. 9. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would have limited compliance with study requirements. 10. Patients with known HIV. 11. Patients with chronic Hepatitis B and C infection. 12. Patients with uncontrolled autoimmune diseases. |

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Time to Recurrence (TTR) | Time to recurrence is the time to progression by Radiological Tumor Assessment by local investigators using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), Version 1.1. Disease recurrence was defined as the appearance of any measurable or evaluable lesion or as asymptomatic CA-125 levels >35 U/mL at two consecutive measurements, at least one month apart. | Treatment start to the date of first recurrence or date of death if the participant died before recurrence. Radiographic assessment at baseline, </= 1 week prior to Cycle 4, at Standard of Care intervals, and when CA-125>35 U/mL, approximately 3 years. | |
Secondary | Number of Participants Positive for T-cell and Immune Activation Markers | Gamma interferon (?-IFN) secretion measured by ELISpot assay was used as a marker for T-cell and immune activation to cancer specific neoantigens. Any participant that had greater than or equal to 10 spots were considered positive. | Blood was collected at tissue procurement, prior to the 1st and 3rd cycles of chemotherapy post debulking, at screening, months 2, 4, 6, end of treatment, and quarterly until recurrence, up to 3 years. | |
Secondary | Predictive Potential of Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) and Tumor Associated Macrophage (TAM) Phenotypes | Predictive potential for TIL and TAM was expected to be measured from tissue collected at baseline and at recurrence. | From tissue procurement until recurrence. | |
Secondary | Vigil Related Adverse Events (AEs) | AEs were reported using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0. | From first dose of Vigil until 30 days following last dose of Vigil, up to 13 months. |
