ISA-P53-CTX: p53 Synthetic Long Peptides Vaccine With Cyclophosphamide for Ovarian Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of cyclophosphamide to the treatment with the p53-SLP vaccine improves clinical efficacy and immunogenicity of the p53-SLP vaccine in ovarian cancer patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Clinical responses to the p53 synthetic long peptide vaccine preceded by cyclophosphamide will be assessed by measurement of serum CA-125 levels and CT-scan. [day 105 - 126 after first gift of cyclophosphamide]
- Immunogenicity will be evaluated by assessing induction and frequency of p53-specific T cells by proliferation and IFN-γ ELISPOT. [after fourth immunization]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Safety of the vaccine preceded by cyclophosphamide will be assessed by monitoring the incidence and severity of adverse events using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0. [durante study]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Written informed consent.
-
Histological proven epithelial ovarian carcinoma.
-
At least 4 weeks after termination of the last course of chemotherapy.
-
Rising CA-125 serum levels after "first line" treatment and no measurable disease according to the RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) criteria, or Rising CA-125 serum levels after "first line" treatment with measurable disease according to the RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) criteria, but not willing or otherwise not fit to receive "second line" chemotherapy.
-
Age 18 years or older, and an life expectancy of at least 3 months.

Other malignancies (previous or current), except basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
-
Immunosuppressive agents, except for topical and inhalation corticosteroids.
-
Prior therapy with a biological response modifier.
-
Any other major disease that may interfere with the conduct of the study (e.g. uncontrolled hypertension, severe and/or unstable heart disease, neurological and psychiatric disorders).
-
Signs or symptoms of CNS metastases.
-
Known substance abuse (drug or alcohol).
