Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this prospective pilot clinical study is to evaluate the safety and immunostimulatory effect of intramuscularly administrations of autologous total IgG (autologous total IgG therapy) in healthy subjects and patients with advanced solid tumor (non-small cell lung cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, biliary cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma etc.). In addition, antitumor effect of intramuscularly administrations of autologous total IgG in patients with advanced solid tumor will be also evaluated.
Detailed Description
After providing informed consent, study participants will be assessed for study eligibility at the screening visit. At screening visit (week -4), venous blood (320\~400 mL) will be sampled using a double blood bag containing anticoagulant. Autologous plasma will be separated from the venous blood by centrifugation. During the 4 weeks of screening period, autologous total IgG (purity ≥97%) will be aseptically purified from the autologous plasma by chromatography using Protein A. Participants will receive the 8 intramuscular injections of autologous total IgG, twice a week for 4 weeks from baseline (week 0). The investigators will evaluate the safety and immunostimulatory effect of intervention of this study by analyzing side effects, serum concentrations of immunological parameters (immunoglobulin, cytokine, etc.), and lymphocyte fraction by flow cytometry analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. \[Part A) Autologous total IgG therapy in healthy subjects\] The duration of this clinical study in healthy subjects is 16 weeks from the screening visit. A 4-week screening period will be followed by a 4-week intervention period and an 8-week follow-up period. \[Part B) Autologous total IgG therapy in patients with advanced solid tumor\] The duration of this clinical study in patients with advanced solid tumor is 12 weeks from the screening visit. A 4-week screening period will be followed by a 4-week intervention period and a 4-week follow-up period(1 cycle). If the patients agree to participate in additional long-term repeated study interventions at the end of 1st cycle of visit, patients will receive repeated study interventions in same the schedule up to week 44 (maximum 4 cycles). At the end of each cycle, antitumor effect will be evaluated by serum tumor marker concentrations, anatomical imaging, and Response Evaluation Criteria in solid tumors (RECIST ver. 1.1).
