This was a multicenter, Phase III study in participants with metastatic Ewing's sarcoma
Family of Tumors (ESFT) refractory/intolerant or recurrent to 1 prior line of
chemotherapy. Participants who agreed to participation had tumor tissue harvested from a
scheduled standard surgical procedure (e.g., tumor biopsy or palliative resection). The
tumor tissue removed was shipped to Gradalis, Inc. to attempt to manufacture the
investigational product, Vigil.
Subjects who met eligibility criteria including manufacture of a minimum of 4 doses of
Vigil were randomized 1:1 to either Group A (Vigil + Irinotecan + Temozolomide (Tem/Iri))
or Group B (Irinotecan + Temozolomide). Screening for the main portion of the study
occurred as early as one week but no later than 8 weeks following tumor procurement.
Subjects received repeat cycles of treatment until disease progression, unacceptable
toxicity, withdrawal of consent or other criterion was met for discontinuation from
study. Subjects randomized to Group A (Vigil + Tem/Iri) received up to 12 doses depending
upon the quantity of Vigil manufactured from the surgical specimen. 1 cycle = 21 days. If
irinotecan + temozolomide was administered beyond 12 cycles, it was administered off
study. Subjects randomized to Group B (Tem/Iri) may have crossed over to receive single
agent Vigil every 21 days following End of Treatment assessment and documented disease
progression confirmed by central radiology vendor, for up to 12 doses of Vigil depending
upon the quantity of Vigil manufactured.
Participants were managed in an outpatient setting. Hematologic function, liver enzymes,
renal function and electrolytes will be monitored. Blood for immune function analyses
including IFNγ-ELISPOT analysis of cytotoxic T cell activation in response to autologous
tumor antigens will be collected at tissue procurement, post-procurement screening and
Day 1 (prior to chemotherapy administration) at Cycles 2, 4, and 6, end of treatment
(EOT), 3 months after EOT, and every 6 months thereafter. Blood for ctDNA analysis was
collected at tissue procurement, prior to chemotherapy administration at baseline and on
Day 1 prior to chemotherapy administration at Cycles 2, 3, 4, and 6, and EOT. After
progression, participants were contacted quarterly for documentation of post study
therapies and survival status information.
