Basic Trial Information

PhaseTypeStatusAgeSponsorProtocol IDs
Phase IIBiomarker/Laboratory analysis, TreatmentActive18 and overNCIGOG-0255
GOG-0255, NCT00857545

Objectives

Primary

  1. To determine if treatment with a polyvalent antigen-KLH conjugate vaccine (GM2-KLH, Globo-H-KLH, Tn-MUC1-32mer-KLH, and TF-KLH) in combination with immunological adjuvant OPT-821 decreases the hazard of progression or death compared to immunological adjuvant OPT-821 alone in patients with ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer in second or third complete clinical remission.

Secondary

  1. To compare the incidence of toxicities in patients treated with these regimens.

Tertiary

  1. To evaluate the immune response, in order to determine if the outcome correlates with antigen-specific immune titers.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer
    • Any stage or grade at diagnosis

  • Has undergone cytoreductive surgery and received ≥ 1 platinum-based chemotherapy regimen as part of primary treatment

  • Recurrent disease on or after initial primary therapy, but is now in a second or third complete clinical remission (after receiving ≥ 1 additional treatment within the past 4 months) as defined by the following:
    • Serum CA-125 normal
    • Negative physical examination
    • No definitive evidence of disease by CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis (lymph nodes and/or soft tissue abnormalities ≤ 1.0 cm will not be considered definitive evidence of disease)
      • A positive PET scan is allowed provided other criteria are met and anatomical imaging (e.g., MRI or CT scan) is negative

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • No prior cancer treatment that would preclude study treatment

Patient Characteristics:

  • GOG performance status 0-2
  • ANC ≥ 1,000/mm3
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Bilirubin ≤ 2.5 times ULN
  • SGOT and SGPT ≤ 2.5 times ULN
  • Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 times ULN
  • Not nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must agree to use an effective contraception
  • Able to complete study and required follow-up
  • No other invasive malignancies within the past 5 years, except for nonmelanoma skin cancer
  • No allergy to shellfish

Expected Enrollment

164

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Progression-free survival

Secondary Outcome(s)

Overall survival
Frequency and severity of adverse effects as assessed by NCI CTCAE v4.0 criteria
Correlation of outcome with antigen-specific immune titers

Outline

This is a multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive polyvalent antigen-KLH conjugate vaccine and immunological adjuvant OPT-821 subcutaneously (SC) once in weeks 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 23, 35, 47, 59, 71, and 83 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Arm II: Patients receive immunological adjuvant OPT-821 SC as in arm I.

Blood samples are collected at baseline and periodically during study for immunological laboratory studies. Samples are analyzed for IgM and IgG titers and antibody expression to antigens (e.g., Tn-MUC1-32mer, GM2, Globo-H, TF, sTn, and Tn) by ELISA.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

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.
