Study summary

Effective treatments are desperately needed for ovarian cancer patients. This phase I clinical trial assesses the safety of a novel personalized dendritic-cell vaccine administered to ovarian cancer patients. Secondary outcomes will be evaluated such as patient pharmacodynamics, progression-free survival and overall survival.

Read the detailed description

This is a single arm, non-randomized phase I study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of delivering a novel dendritic cell vaccine in 6 to 12 (n=6-12) adult patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer after undergoing surgical resection. The vaccine contains both tumor-associated antigen and patient specific neoantigens. Standard-of-care chemotherapy therapy will be followed as per routine,during which patients enrolled into this study will receive a personalized vaccine in addition to standard of care. Effective adjuvant therapies are urgently needed for these patients given that high rate of recurrence still occurs after standard of care with poor prognosis among ovarian cancer patients. The study is constructed in a 3+3 algorithm for two steps of dose escalation with rigorous and mandatory safety monitoring.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    experimental group

    This arm will evaluate the safety of administering a total dendritic cell dose of 5x106. A total of 3 to 6 patients will be enrolled. If this dose is associated with unacceptable side effects, as detailed in the study protocol, no further patients will be enrolled at this dose.

    Biological: dendritic cell

Interventions

  • Biologicaldendritic cell

    Biological: Dendritic Cell Immunotherapy Adult patients with histopathologically diagnosed Ovarian Cancer will be eligible for this novel, personalized dendritic cell vaccine during course of standard of care chemotherapy. If unacceptable side effects are observed at a total dose of 5x106, as detailed in the study protocol, then a cohort of 3-6 enrolled patients will receive a de-escalated total dendritic cell dose of 2.5x106. If no unacceptable side effects are identified at a total dose of 5x106, as detailed in the study protocol, then a cohort of 3-6 enrolled patients will receive an escalated total dendritic cell dose of 1X107.
