SGN-00101 Immunotherapy in Treating Patients With Grade III Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia

Basic Trial Information

PhaseTypeStatusAgeSponsorProtocol IDs
Phase IIPreventionCompleted18 and overNCIAECM-0309225
NCI-5850, NCT00075569, 5850

Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the rate of regression at 4-7 months in patients with grade III cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN III) treated with SGN-00101 immunotherapy.
  2. Compare the rate of regression at 4-7 months with expected outcome in patients immunized with this vaccine.
  3. Determine the toxic effects and recovery from possible toxic effects of this vaccine in these patients.

Secondary

  1. Determine induction of cell-mediated immune responses against human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 peptides before and after treatment in patients immunized with this vaccine
  2. Correlate regression of disease with enhanced immunologic responses in patients immunized with this vaccine.
  3. Correlate seropositivity of HPV-16 virus-like particles (VLP16) with vaccine-induced regression of CIN III in patients immunized with this vaccine.
  4. Determine the efficacy of this vaccine in patients whose CIN III is associated with HPV-16 infection vs other HPV types.

  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • Good health based upon the results of a medical history, physical examination, vital signs, and laboratory profile
  • No uncontrolled chronic disease
    • Chronic disease requiring medication is allowed provided the patient is not taking immunosuppressive drugs
  • No significant endocrine (e.g., thyroid or diabetes), neurologic, gastrointestinal, or dermatologic disease that is uncontrolled with standard therapy
  • No other underlying or unstable disease that would be exacerbated by the study treatment

Expected Enrollment

A total of 66 patients (36 for group 1 and 30 for group 2) will be accrued for this study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Rate of regression at 4-7 months after completion of treatment
Toxicity

Outline

This is a multicenter study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups.

All patients receive SGN-00101 subcutaneously once monthly on months 1-3 (for a total of 3 vaccinations) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Group 1: Four months after the first vaccination, patients undergo therapeutic and diagnostic loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) or core biopsy.


  • Group 2: Six months after the first vaccination, patients undergo therapeutic and diagnostic LEEP or core biopsy.


Patients in group 1 are followed at 12 months and patients in group 2 are followed at 14 months after the first vaccination.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
