Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vaccine Treatment of Kidney Cancer (NCT NCT00089778)

NCT ID: NCT00089778

Last Updated: 2017-08-01

Results Overview

Overall response is defined as the best response (e.g. complete response...) recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence. Complete response is the disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions. Progressive disease is at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions since the treatment started or the appearance of new lesion. Stable disease is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease.

Grp A-measurable Metastatic Disease (no Immediate Aldesleukin)
Patients who do not need or are ineligible for treatment with interleukin-2 (IL-2) and patients who have previously had IL-2 therapy. A3 FGF-5 (Fibroblast growth factor 5): 172-176/217-220 peptide - two 1 ml injections in the anterior thigh deep subcutaneous tissue within 2c of each other. This is not a conventional crossover-If a patient in Group C has a recurrence after vaccination or cancer progresses in Group A, then we wanted to administer an approved, conventional therapy for recurrent disease (IL-2) which could have had synergy with the prior experimental vaccination. This was only exploratory and there was no specific endpoint targeted in patient's crossing over and there was no impact on study size (too involved for the scope of this study).
Grp B - Measurable Metastatic Disease That Require Aldesleukin
Patients who require immediate treatment with IL-2. A2 FGF-5: 117-126 peptide + HD (high dose) IL-2 (prior cycle 1) Two 1 ml injection in the anterior thigh deep subcutaneous tissue within 2c of each other. 720,000 IU/kg as an intravenous bolus over a 15 minute period every 8 hours beginning on the day after immunization and continuing for up to 4 days (a maximum of 12 doses). This is not a conventional crossover-If a patient in Group C has a recurrence after vaccination or cancer progresses in Group A, then we wanted to administer an approved, conventional therapy for recurrent disease (IL-2) which could have had synergy with the prior experimental vaccination. This was only exploratory and there was no specific endpoint targeted in patient's crossing over and there was no impact on study size (too involved for the scope of this study).
Grp C - High-risk Loco-regional Disease
Patients whose cancer has been surgically removed but who are at risk for recurrence and local disease and who are seeking experimental adjuvant therapy. A2 FGF-5: 117-126 peptide (adjuvant); A3 FGF-5: 172-176/217-220 peptide (adjuvant). This is not a conventional crossover-If a patient in Group C has a recurrence after vaccination or cancer progresses in Group A, then we wanted to administer an approved, conventional therapy for recurrent disease (IL-2) which could have had synergy with the prior experimental vaccination.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 years and 9 months

Population: Pts in Group C had no evaluable disease,response evaluation was not an appropriate endpoint. The purpose of putting such patients in the trial was they were more likely to survive long enough to complete the full sequence of intended vaccinations and permit an immunological/laboratory endpoint evaluation (not as likely for Groups A and B).

Overall response is defined as the best response (e.g. complete response...) recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence. Complete response is the disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions. Progressive disease is at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions since the treatment started or the appearance of new lesion. Stable disease is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 hours

Population: "1 uM A3 culture vs tranfectant" means "Immune cells cultured with the concentration of 1 uM of the A3 peptide were tested against \[with\] target cells into which the FGF-5 target gene was inserted \[transfected with\] and the release of interferon is measured to detect immune recognition".Documentation was only available for the 4 patients.

FGF-5 specific CTL (cytotoxic T lymphocytes) may be tested by cytokine release assay or ELISPOT (enzyme linked immunosorbent spot) assay using tumor, FGF-5 transfected or peptide-loaded target cells and compared to pre-treatment peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to determine immune response to vaccination. In the assays, differences of 2-3 fold are indicative of true biologic difference.Due to text data entry field limitations, Pre vaccination and post vaccination will be shown in the results as Pre V and Post V, respectively. Patients entered in Group A did not complete sufficient vaccinations to permit immunological evaluation and in Group B, the co-administration of IL-2 is known to corrupt immunological evaluation (so only clinical responses are valid). Expanding information on cancer vaccines in general as wells as preliminary information from this trial on FGF-5 as a vaccine target both served to render the enrollment of additional patients to this trial obsolete.
