Multiple Antigen-Engineered DC Vaccine for Melanoma

NCT01622933 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 35

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This clinical trial is to determine if the addition of a standard of care drug, interferon-alfa 2b (IFN), with an investigation vaccine will have any affect on the immune system and/or your cancer. The investigational vaccine will be made with genes that are specific to melanoma and will be given intradermally (i.d.) every two weeks for a total of 3 vaccines.

After the vaccines, subjects will be randomized to either receive a boost of high dose IFN or no boost. IFN will be administered intravenously (into a vein) for 5 consecutive days (Monday through Friday) every week for 4 weeks. Administration will begin approximately 30 days (± 7 days) after the 3rd vaccine. The first dose of IFNα2b may begin within 10 business days of randomization. All subsequent procedure dates for Group A will be based on the date of the first dose of IFNα2b.

Conditions

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

DC Vaccine + IFN

Vaccine: The dose target is 1x10e7 AdVTMM2/DC per intradermal injection, or lower dose per sponsor's discretion. IFN: 20 MU/m²/d (rounded to the nearest 1.0 million unit) administered IV x 5 consecutive days out of 7 (M-F) every week x 4 weeks.

BIOLOGICAL

AdVTMM2/DC Vaccination

Vaccine: The dose target is 1x10e7 AdVTMM2/DC per intradermal injection.If cell counts are below the target, as few as 5x10e6 AdVTMM2/DC may be administered. However, at the discretion of the sponsor and/or the treating physician, a lower dose of DC that fulfills all of the other criteria for release may be administered on a case by case basis. If this occurs a dose exception form will be completed by the IMCPL, signed by the treating physician and filed in the subjects research records.
