Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Liver or Lung Metastases From Colorectal Cancer (NCT NCT00103142)

NCT ID: NCT00103142

Last Updated: 2015-10-14

Results Overview

Recurrence-free survival for randomized patients receiving dendritic cells (DC) loaded with PANVAC or PANVAC plus Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) measured from the date of metastasectomy, with relapse defined as documented disease recurrence at any site.

Participant Flow

This was a 7 site study where patients were recruited from medical clinics and the patient's primary oncologist and study team approached the patient about the study. Patients were recruited for this study from January 2005 and September 2009.

The study was designed to treat 72 subjects. Total number of enrollment is 74 because enrollment reflects the number of subjects that signed consent and were randomized to the study but did not necessarily receive study drug or complete study drug.

Measure
PANVAC-V + PANVAC-F + DC
Patients undergo leukapheresis to obtain leukocytes for generation of autologous dendritic cells (DC). Patients then receive autologous DC loaded with vaccinia-CEA-MUC-1-TRICOM (PANVAC-V) vaccine subcutaneously (SC) and intradermally (ID) on day 1 and autologous DC loaded with fowlpox-CEA-MUC-1-TRICOM (PANVAC-F) vaccine SC and ID on days 28, 56, and 84.
PANVAC-V + PANVAC-F + GM-CSF
Patients receive PANVAC-V SC on day 1 and PANVAC-F SC on days 28, 56, and 84. Patients also receive sargramostim (GM-CSF) SC into the same injection site once daily on days 0-3, 28-31, 56-59, and 84-87.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 13 weeks

CEA-Specific Immune Responders by enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISpot). The ELISPOT assay is considered positive for a subject if the mean number of spots with CEA exceeds the number of spots with control by a magnitude of 10 and the difference between CEA and control is statistically significant at a level of p=0.05 by the t-test.
