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

- •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
