简要总结
This phase Ib/II trial evaluates the safety and effect of the Nous-209 vaccine in Lynch syndrome patients. Lynch syndrome is an inherited disorder in which affected individuals have a higher-than-normal chance of developing colorectal cancer and certain other types of cancer, often before the age of 50. In Lynch syndrome, errors in the genetic information inside cells are not properly corrected. When that happens, the cells produce new proteins called neoantigens. Neoantigens are recognized by the body's immune system as foreign, and the body tries to get rid of them. Nous-209 is a vaccine made with man-made copies of some of those neoantigens. This trial aims to see whether the Nous-209 vaccine is safe to give to patients with Lynch syndrome, whether people are able to take the Nous-209 vaccine without becoming too uncomfortable, and how the immune system of patients with Lynch syndrome respond to the Nous-209 vaccine. This trial may help researchers determine whether receiving Nous-209 have an effect on the development of polyps or tumors in the colon.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of adenoviral tumor-specific neoantigen priming vaccine GAd-209-FSP (GAd20-209-FSPs) (1 prime) and MVA tumor-specific neoantigen boosting vaccine MVA-209-FSP (MVA-209-FSPs) (1 boost) vaccination when administered as a single agent (monotherapy) in participants with Lynch syndrome (LS).
II. To evaluate the neoantigen-specific immunogenicity of GAd20-209-FSPs (1 prime) and MVA-209-FSPs (1 boost) vaccination when administered as a single agent (monotherapy) in participants with LS.
III. To evaluate the neoantigen-specific immunogenicity of GAd20-209-FSP prime and MVA-209-FSP boost or MVA-209-FSP boost alone when administered to previously-vaccinated immunogenic participants with LS.
IV. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GAd20-209-FSP prime and MVA-209-FSP boost or MVA-209-FSP boost alone when administered to previously vaccinated immunogenic participants with LS.

入选标准
- •INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR PARTICIPANTS IN COHORT 1:
- •Participants must have a clinical diagnosis of Lynch syndrome (LS) as defined by:
- •Mutation-positive LS: documented carriers (or obligate carriers by pedigree) of a germline mutation in MMR genes (MLH1, MSH2/EPCAM, MSH6, or PMS2) that is deleterious/pathogenic or suspected to be deleterious/pathogenic (known or predicted to be detrimental/loss of function, respectively). The mutation must have been identified through a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-approved laboratory setting or an equivalent international agency. Final determination of eligibility for any discordant results in pathogenicity of the mutation will be determined by the study investigator. A formal eligibility exception in those instances will not be required as long as approval by the overall study principal investigator (PI) has been granted and documented
- •Mutation-negative LS (also known as "Lynch-like syndrome" or "suspected Lynch syndrome): individuals with both of the following:
- •A personal history of a non-sporadic MMR-deficient premalignant lesion (i.e., colorectal polyp) or a non-sporadic MMR-deficient malignant tumor, where "non-sporadic MMR deficiency" is defined by (1) the loss of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC), or (2) the detection of MSI by PCR or both, but no evidence of MLH1 promoter methylation in cases with loss of both MLH1 and PMS2, All testing must have been performed in accordance with local institutional guidelines in a CLIA- approved setting. (Note: central confirmation of MMR expression status, MSI, MLH1 promoter methylation or BRAF mutation is not required.); and
- •Documented results of germline mutation testing performed in a CLIA-approved laboratory environment, demonstrating either a variant of unknown significance in MMR genes or the lack of a clinically significant variant in MMR genes; or, documentation that the individual declined to undergo germline MMR genetic testing
- •Participants must have no evidence of active or recurrent invasive cancer for 6 months prior to screening
- •Participants must be at least 6 months from any prior cancer-directed treatment (such as surgical resection, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, or radiation)
- •Participants must have endoscopically accessible distal colon and/or rectal mucosa (i.e., participants must have at least part of the descending/sigmoid colon and/or rectum intact)
- •Participants must consent to standard of care surveillance with colonoscopy with biopsies every 12 months
- •Participants must consent to refrain from using aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors for the duration of the trial, except for cardio-preventive aspirin (< 100 mg daily). Individuals taking such drugs may not be enrolled unless they are willing to stop the medications (and possibly change to alternative non-excluded medications to treat the same conditions) no less than 1 month prior to enrollment. Participants will discuss with their primary care provider/local provider about the discontinuation of such medication(s) and obtain approval prior to stopping any agent
- •Age >= 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event (AE) data are currently available on the use of Nous-209 in participants < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study but will be eligible for future pediatric trials, if applicable
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 1 (Karnofsky >= 70%)
- •Hemoglobin >= 10 g/dL or hematocrit >= 30 %
- •Leukocyte count >= 3,500/microliter
- •Platelet count >= 100,000/microliter
- •Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/microliter
- •Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (or creatinine clearance calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m^2 (mL/min, within institutional limits of normal)
- •Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [SGPT]) =< 2 times the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
- •Total bilirubin =< 1.5 the ULN; participants with Gilbert's disease may be enrolled with higher total bilirubin if their direct bilirubin is =< 1.5 times the ULN
- •Participants must consent to refrain from receiving any other type of vaccination during the first 10 weeks of the trial
- •Participants must consent to refrain from receiving adenoviral-based vaccines for the duration of the trial (including the period from week 9 to week 52)
- •Willing and able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in the final approved protocol
- •The effects of Nous-209 on the developing human fetus at the recommended therapeutic dose are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry for the duration of study participation (12 months) and 6 months after end of study. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her study physician immediately
- •Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document (available for both English- and Spanish-speaking individuals)
- •INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR PARTICIPANTS IN COHORT 2:
- •Participants must have been confirmed eligible and met all study inclusion criteria for participation in study Cohort 1

Individuals taking such drugs may not be enrolled unless they are willing to stop the medications (and possibly change to alternative non-excluded medications to treat the same conditions) no less than 1 month prior to enrollment. Participants will discuss with their primary care provider/local provider about the discontinuation of such medication(s) and obtain approval prior to stopping any agent
- •Female participant must agree to a pregnancy test at week 52

- •Individuals with active malignancy (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer)
- •Any serious uncontrolled and/or unstable pre-existing medical disorder (aside from malignancy exception above), psychiatric disorder, or other conditions that could interfere with participant's safety, obtaining informed consent, or compliance to the study procedures
