简要总结

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating patients with Epstein-Barr virus and cancer.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine safety and to characterize the toxicity profile of EBNA1 C-terminal/LMP2 chimeric protein-expressing recombinant modified vaccinia Ankara vaccine in patients in remission having been treated conventionally for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and malignancy.
  • To describe changes in the frequency of functional T-cell responses to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and II-restricted epitopes within EBNA1 and LMP2 in peripheral blood at sequential time-points before, during, and up to nine months after the vaccination course in these patients.

Secondary

  • To assess changes in levels of EBV genome in plasma in these patients.

入选标准

  • DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Histologically confirmed malignancy of a type typically associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent infection meeting the following criteria:
  • The presence of EBV within the malignant cells has been demonstrated by immunohistochemistry for viral antigens or by EBER (EBV early RNA) in situ hybridization
  • Patients in remission from disease or with disease for which no standard treatment is appropriate, as defined by 1 of the following groups:
  • Have achieved a continuing complete response (CR) or unconfirmed CR
  • Residual masses at the site of treated disease that are not progressing (i.e., stable disease) and for which no standard therapy is recognized
  • Residual or recurrent disease that is low-volume and causing minimal or no symptoms and for which no standard therapy is recognized
  • Completed standard therapy for malignancy ≥ 12 weeks before trial entry
  • No more than 1 course of chemotherapy as treatment for EBV+ malignancy
  • No ongoing toxic manifestations of prior treatment, except alopecia or certain grade 1 toxicities at the discretion of the investigator and Cancer Research UK
  • No patients with active EBV+ cancer for whom evidence-based active treatment is available and likely to be offered to prolong life or relieve symptoms within 14 weeks of the first vaccination
  • PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
  • WHO performance status 0 or 1
  • Life expectancy ≥ 4 months
  • Lymphocyte count must satisfy 1 of the following criteria:
  • Greater than lower limit of the reference range in the investigator site
  • Greater than or equal to 0.5 x 10^9/L AND recovery from nadir of lymphocyte numbers following primary treatment for EBV+ malignancy, judged by no successive rises in lymphocyte count measured up to 3 successive occasions 3 weeks apart
  • Hemoglobin > 10.0 g/dL
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L
  • Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10^9/L
  • Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Serum alkaline phosphatase < 1.5 times ULN
  • ALT and/or AST < 1.5 times ULN
  • Calculated creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min (uncorrected value) OR isotope clearance measurement > 50 mL/min
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception during study and for 6 months after completion of study treatment
  • No known chronic active infection with hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV
  • No history of anaphylaxis or severe allergy to vaccinations
  • No allergy to eggs or egg products
  • No ongoing active infection
  • No known splenic dysfunction
  • No concurrent active autoimmune disease
  • No prior NYHA class III or IV cardiac disease or concurrent congestive heart failure
  • No concurrent active skin diseases requiring therapy (i.e., psoriasis, eczema)
  • No other condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, would make the patient not a good candidate for this clinical trial
  • PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
  • See Disease Characteristics
  • No prior myeloablative therapy followed by an autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant
  • More than 12 weeks since prior and no concurrent chemotherapy or radiotherapy
  • No splenectomy or splenic irradiation
  • No concurrent immunosuppressive medication, including corticosteroids
  • Long-term prophylactic use of inhaled corticosteroids allowed
  • No major thoracic and/or abdominal surgery within the past 4 weeks from which the patient has not yet recovered
  • No other concurrent anticancer or investigational drugs
