NCT02501278 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2016-05-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the potential benefit of the addition of immunotherapy with VGX-3100 and INO-9012 (i.e. INO-3112) to concomitant CRT or, to concomitant CRT and continued as adjuvant in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.

Safety run-in: To test the safety of CRT combined with immunotherapy with INO-3112. This safety run-in phase will include the first 3 patients treated in each of the two INO-3112 combination arms who are exposed to at least two immunotherapy doses and evaluate whether the combination does not pose undue immediate risks to the patients further enrolled in the trial.

Phase II:To demonstrate sufficient activity in the experimental combination arms to warrant a further phase III conclusive trial based on progression free survival (PFS) at 18 months assessed by RECIST by the local investigator. The efficacy will be assessed within each experimental arm while the standard arm will serve as a reference arm to check the reliability of the results.

Conditions

  • Uterine Cervical Neoplasms

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

INO-3112 vaccine

INO-3112 i.e. the combination of VGX-3100 and INO-9012, specifically: * VGX-3100 (HPV16 and HPV18 E6-E7 DNA vaccine) will be administered at 3 mg per plasmid (6 mg total DNA) * INO-9012 (IL-12 DNA plasmid) will be administered at 1 mg per dose will be administered using the CELLECTRA® electoporation device

RADIATION

Radiotherapy (Extrernal beam radiotherapy + brachytherapy)

The whole pelvis will be irradiated with 45 - 50.4 Gy in 25-28 fractions in fractions of 1.8 Gy over 5 weeks daily. Those patients with pelvis positive and/or para-aortic positive lymph nodes should be treated with an elective dose to the para-aortic area of 45 Gy in fractions of 1.6-1.8 Gy in 25-28 fractions. Pelvic and para-aortic nodes known to contain gross/macroscopically visible disease and heavily involved parametria or tumor areas that may lie beyond the high-dose range of brachytherapy should be treated with additional small volume boost of EBRT to a total dose of 60-65 Gy using a combination of either sequential and/or concomitant boost. Fractions of 1.8-2 Gy can be used in the sequential boost.

DRUG

Cisplatin chemotherapy

Cisplatin chemotherapy will be administered i.v. at a dose of 40 mg/m2 (total 5 cycles during week 1-5) weekly in concomitance with RT with the total dose not to exceed 70 mg per week.
