Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical study is looking at a vaccine called MVA-EBNA1/LMP2. This is a new vaccine that has already been studied in small number of cancer patients.

The vaccine is designed to boost a patient's immunity against a common virus. The virus is called Epstein Barr virus or EBV. EBV is sometimes found inside cancer cells and is commonly found in nasopharyngeal cancer cells.


Clinical Trial Description

The main aims of the clinical study are to find out more about how the immune system responds to the vaccine, more about the potential side effects of the vaccine and the effects of giving an additional booster vaccination on the immune system.

Approximately 18 patients with EBV positive nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) will be recruited to the trial. Patients will receive up to four vaccinations with the MVA-EBNA1/LMP2 vaccine. The first three vaccines will be given at 3 weekly intervals, followed by a fourth vaccine 12 weeks later. The vaccine will be given by intradermal injection with the dose divided across multiple injection sites on the arm, or on the thigh.

Patients will participate in the study for approximately 12 months from first vaccination and attend hospital approximately 11 times during this period. Standard safety assessments will be performed throughout the trial and at each clinic visit patients will be asked to provide research blood samples. These samples will be used to monitor the effects of the vaccine on the patient's immune system. ;
