Study Description

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies the effect of a vaccine called CDX-1401 given with or without a biologic drug called CDX-301 in treating patients with stage IIB-IV melanoma. The cancer vaccine CDX-1401 attaches to a protein that is made in tumor cells. The vaccine helps the body recognize the tumor to fight the cancer. The biologic drug CDX-301 may help the body make more of the tumor fighting cells, known as dendritic cells. Another biologic drug, poly-ICLC, may stimulate the immune system and help these dendritic cells mature so that they can recognize the tumor. Giving CDX-301 may make the immune response to a combination of CDX-1401 and poly-ICLC better.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
  1. To determine whether the immune response to NY-ESO-1 elicited by vaccination with DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401 (CDX-1401) plus polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid stabilized with poly-L-lysine and carboxymethylcellulose (poly-ICLC) is substantially increased by prior expansion in the number of circulating dendritic cells (DC) by therapy with recombinant Flt3 ligand (CDX-301) (fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand [Flt3L]).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To assess the effect of the vaccine regimen on immune responses to other ongoing and nascent antitumor response antigens associated with melanoma (e.g., PRAME, MAGE-A3, p53, and gp100) as well as memory viral responses (influenza A) and chronic viral responses (cytomegalovirus [CMV], Epstein-Barr virus [EBV]).

  2. To assess the effect of the vaccine regimen on the frequency and phenotypic character of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) subsets including DCs, monocyte populations, T cells, and natural killer (NK) cells.

  3. To assess the safety, tolerability, and clinical efficacy of the vaccine regimens.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive recombinant Flt3 ligand (CDX-301) subcutaneously (SC) on days -7 to -1, 1-3, and 22-28 of cycle 1 and only on days 1-3 of cycle 2. Patients also receive CDX-1401 SC or intradermally (ID) on day 1 of each cycle and poly-ICLC SC on days 1-2 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II: Patients receive CDX-1401 and poly-ICLC as in Arm I. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4 and 12 weeks and then annually thereafter.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Immune T-cell Response to NY-ESO-1 [At 12 weeks after final vaccination]

      Response rates will be analyzed by tabulating the frequency of positive response for each assay by antigen and treatment arm at each time point for which an assessment is performed. Response rates will be presented with their corresponding 95% confidence interval estimates calculated using the score test method. Fisher's exact tests will be used to compare cohort 1 and cohort 2 at the peak time point, with a significant difference declared if the 1-sided P value is =< 0.10.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. T Cell Responses to Other Ongoing and Nascent Antitumor Response Antigens Associated With Melanoma (e.g. PRAME, MAGE-A3, p53, and gp1000) as Well as Memory and Chronic Viral Responses (CMV, EBV) [Up to 12 weeks after final vaccination]

      Response rates will be analyzed by tabulating the frequency of positive response for each assay by antigen and treatment arm at each time point for which an assessment is performed. Response rates will be presented with their corresponding 95% confidence interval estimates calculated using the score test method.

    • The first six patients enrolled in the Flt3L arm of the study cannot be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive. After the evaluation of safety in the first 6 patients, HIV-positive patients with adequate immune function as evidenced by stable

    CD4 counts >= 350/mm^3 are allowed to participate if the following criteria are met:
    • maintained on stable antiretroviral therapy with no significant drug interactions, and

    • no recent history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) indicator conditions (> 2 years from enrolling in trial), and

    • physician providing patient's care for HIV must also approve of patient entering the study

    • Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days before the initiation of protocol therapy.

    • The effects of CDX-1401 or CDX-301 on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control or abstinence) before study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception before the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of CDX-1401 or CDX-301 administration.

    • NOTE: Subjects are considered not of child-bearing potential if they are surgically sterile, they have undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy, or they are postmenopausal. Menopause is the age associated with complete cessation of menstrual cycles, menses, and implies the loss of reproductive potential. By a practical definition, it assumes menopause after 1 year without menses with an appropriate clinical profile at the appropriate age.

    • Other invasive cancers that are clinically active

    • Pregnancy or nursing or unwilling to take adequate birth control during therapy

    • NOTE: Pregnant women are excluded from this study because CDX-1401 or CDX-301 and poly-ICLC have an unknown potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with CDX-1401 or CDX-301, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with CDX-1401 or CDX-301 and poly-ICLC
