GP96 Heat Shock Protein-Peptide Complex Vaccine in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Glioma

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors
Interventions
Biological: HSPPC-96
Procedure: Standard Surgical Resection
Registration Number
NCT00293423
Lead Sponsor
University of California, San Francisco
Brief Summary

Vaccines made from a person's tumor cells, such as gp96 heat shock protein-peptide complex, may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gp96 heat shock protein-peptide complex vaccine to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent or progressive high-grade glioma over time.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

* Phase 1: \[closed to accrual as of 7/25/2007\]: Determine the safety and best tolerated dose and frequency of gp96 heat shock protein-peptide complex vaccine in patients with recurrent or progressive high-grade glioma.

* Phase 2: Determine the clinical response to treatment, time to disease recurrence and progression, and overall survival of patients treated with this vaccine.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the immune response in patients treated with this vaccine.

* Determine survival outcomes in patients treated with this vaccine.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, phase I study (closed to accrual as of 7/25/2007) followed by a phase II study.

PHASE I \[closed to accrual as of 7/25/2007\]:

Patients underwent surgical resection. Viable tumor tissue is used to generate the gp96 heat shock protein-peptide complex (HSPPC-96) vaccine. Patients with primary disease receive standard adjuvant therapy after surgery. Patients whose disease progresses during or after standard adjuvant therapy receive the HSPPC-96 vaccine. Patients with recurrent disease receive the HSPPC-96 vaccine between 2-8 weeks after surgery. The HSPPC-96 vaccine is administered intradermally every 1-3 weeks for at least 4 doses and then every 2-3 weeks thereafter in the absence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or vaccine depletion. Cohorts of 6 patients received the HSPPC-96 vaccine at escalating dose frequencies until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experienced a dose-limiting toxicity.

PHASE II: Patients received the HSPPC-96 vaccine as in phase I at the appropriate dose frequency determined in phase I (closed to accrual as of 7/25/2007). The HSPPC-96 vaccine is administered intradermally every 1-3 weeks for at least 4 doses and then every 2 weeks thereafter in the absence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or vaccine depletion. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically until death, lost to follow-up, or end of study.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Median Progression-free Survival at 6 Months (Phase 2)6 months
Frequency of gp96 Heat Shock Protein-peptide Complex Vaccine (Phase 1)Up to 6 months

The frequency of dosing of the first 4 injections to be recommended for Phase 2 will be determined by reviewing the reported number of dose-limiting toxicities for weekly or bi-weekly injections.

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (Phase 1)Up to 4 weeks

MTD determination will be based on the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicities. The MTD will be 1 dose below the dose that defined the dose-limiting toxicities

Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (Phase 1)Up to 4 weeks

Systemic toxicity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4.0. Dose-limiting toxicity is defined as any of the following that are attributable to vaccine therapy: Any grade 3, 4 or 5 toxicity, Any grade \>=2 clinical autoimmunity with the potential to threaten critical organs (including lungs, heart, kidney, bowel, bone marrow, liver or central nervous system (CNS), or eyes), and any removal of a patient from therapy due to toxicity

Percentage of Participants With Progression-free Survival at 12 Months (Phase 2)Up to 12 months

Defined as the percentage of participants with confirmed response and who have not progressed from date of surgical resection until death or censored at 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Patients With an Immunological Response (Phase 1)Up to 12 months

An immunological response is defined as an absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) less than the lower limit of normal (1.0 × 109cells/L), according to the standard laboratory reference range

Percentage of Participants Surviving at 12 Months (Phase 2)Up to 12 months

Defined as the percentage of participants still alive from date of surgical resection until death or censored at 12 months

Number of Patients With an Immunological Response (Phase 2)Up to 2 years

An immunological response is defined as an absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) less than the lower limit of normal (1.0 × 109cells/L), according to the standard laboratory reference range

Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher, Vaccine Treatment-Related Adverse Events by Toxicity (Phase 2)Up to 2 years

Vaccine treatment-related Adverse Events with a grade \>=3 according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4 will be reported.

Median Overall Survival (Phase 2)Up to 2 years

Overall survival is defined as the length of time from date of surgical resection until death or censored at end of study period

Percentage of Participants Surviving at 6 Months (Phase 2)Up to 6 months

Defined as the percentage of participants still alive from date of surgical resection until death or censored at 6 months
