Study summary

This study is a clinical study aiming at establishing immunological assays for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of WT-1, Survivin and HPV16 E7-specific immune responses in cancer patients. Such a study will allow the development of suitable immunological tools to be used in assessing response in a subsequent phase I study aiming at evaluating therapeutic vaccine candidates targeting WT-1, Survivin and/or HPV16 E7-expressing tumors. In addition, this study will help defining the baseline cancer-associated immune responses in the selected patient population.

Cervical and ovarian cancer patients, as well as leukemia patients, will be included in this study.

WT-1, Survivin and HPV-specific immune responses will be monitored in these patients by ex vivo and cultured IFNg ELISpot as well as tetramer staining.

Study population

Three type of patients will be enrolled in this study:

  • Women with a confirmed diagnosis of serous or undifferentiated ovarian cancer
  • Women with a confirmed diagnosis of CIN3 or cervical cancer
  • HLA-A2 positive men or women with a confirmed diagnosis of AML of CML All these patients will be less than 70 years of age and will show no evidence of active progressive disease on follow up. For ovarian cancer patients, a woman with a rising CA125 and negative imaging is acceptable.

  • Shared inclusion criteria
  • No evidence of active progressive disease. For ovarian cancer patients, a woman with a rising CA125 and negative imaging is acceptable

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Development and validation of ELISpot and tetramer assays for the detection of tumor-antigen specific T cell immune responses in cancer patients

    Direct and cultured IFNg ELISpot as well as direct tetramer staining assays will be set up and qualified for the detection WT-1, survivin and HPV16 E7 specific immune responses in cancer patients

    Time frame: Baseline

Secondary outcomes

  1. Characterisation of WT1, Survivin and HPV16 E7 specific immune responses in cancer patients

    Direct and Cultured IFNg ELISpot assays as well as tetramer staining assays will be used for the characterization of tumor specific immune responses in cancer patients

    Time frame: Baseline
