NCT ID: NCT01265368

Last Updated: 2018-11-15

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1/PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 19 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2010-11-30
• Study Completion Date: 2018-09-30

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1/2, proof-of-principle clinical study to assess safety and efficacy of a intradermally administered tumor vaccine (MGN1601). The study will be conducted in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Detailed Description

Twenty four patients with advanced RCC will be included in this open, single-arm study.

The treatment will last 12 weeks. The investigational product (MGN1601) will be administered intradermally for a total of 8 applications, whereas the first 3 applications will be administered weekly, and the following 5 applications will be administered bi-weekly.

Patients who will develop disease control (CR, PR, or SD) by week 12 will be proposed to participate in the extension phase of the study. The extension phase will be continued until disease progression in each patient, however, maximally up to week 120 (total treatment duration 2.5 years). During this time period the investigational product will be administered 5 times by weeks 24, 36, 48, 72, and 120.

• Transfusion-dependent anemia
• History of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency
• Concurrent chronic systemic immune therapy, corticosteroids or other immunosuppressant medication

• HIV seropositivity or active hepatitis B or C infection
• Planned major surgery during the study
• Participation in other clinical studies during this clinical study
• Vaccination within 3 months prior to the first treatment day
• Any medical, mental, psychological or psychiatric condition which in opinion of the investigator would not permit the subject to complete the study or understand the patient information
• Pregnancy and/or nursing
