Background summary
PDC*vac is a therapeutic cancer vaccine product based on the PDC*line,
irradiated and loaded with target tumor peptides to prime and expand antitumor
T cells. PDC*line being homozygote for HLA-A*02:01 allele, peptides loaded on
this specific APC are HLA-A*02:01 restricted.
PDC*line Pharma has demonstrated PDC*vac efficiency and potency to prime and
expand tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells, specific for different tumor antigens,
including neoantigens, from different sources of human mononuclear cells,
including cells from cancer patients, in
vitro and in vivo in humanized mouse models.
PDC*vac currently comes in two cancer investigational drugs: PDC*mel (also
called GeniusVac-Mel4), developed for melanoma and PDC*lung01 for non-small
cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Anti-PD-1 antibodies have recently become first-line standard-of-care
treatments of melanoma and NSCLC. However, PD-L1 or PD-1 inhibition is not
sufficient for optimum anti-tumor activity in some patients. Therefore,
strategies to boost naïve and memory CD8 T cell immune response against tumor
antigens represent a unique possible approach to potentiate the efficacy of
immune check point inhibitors and particularly of anti-PD-1.
The potential synergy between peptide-loaded PDC*line cells and anti-PD-1
antibody in expanding antigen specific T cells has therefore been investigated
ex vivo with patient*s cells and results clearly showed that anti-PD-1 strongly
synergizes with peptide-loaded PDC*line and triggers
potent amplification of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells from cancer patients.
Study objective
This study has been transitioned to CTIS with ID 2024-517429-24-00 check the CTIS register for the current data.
Objectives:
Primary:
- Assess safety and tolerability of PDC*lung01 vaccinations administered at two
dose levels as single agent or during maintenance treatment by pemetrexed (for
adenocarcinomas in Cohorts A1 and A2) or during treatment with anti-PD-1
therapy (Cohorts B1, B2 and C1).
Secondary:
- Evaluate the safety of the combined use of PDC*lung01 with anti-PD-1 therapy;
- Document additional indicators of safety / tolerability;
- Evaluate the humoral allogeneic immune response against PDC*line cells;
- Evaluate the specific T-cell response against the antigens borne by
PDC*lung01 vaccine; and
- Document preliminary clinical activity.
Study design
Open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation, phase I/II study
Approximately 70 evaluable patients planned to be included in the following 4
cohorts:
A1 (LD): 14 x 10^6 cells PDC*lung01
A2 (HD): 140 x 10^6 cells PDC*lung01
B1 (LD): 14 x 10^6 cells PDC*lung01 + anti-PD-1
B2 (HD): 140 x 10^6 cells PDC*lung01 + anti-PD-1
C1 (HD+Boost): 140 x 10^6 cells PDC*lung01 + anti-PD-1 and 70 x 10^6 cells
PDC*lung01 + anti-PD-1
Intervention
Test product: PDC*lung01 includes, in similar proportion, seven active agents,
made of irradiated human plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDC) loaded separately
with a distinct synthetic peptide encoded by a lung tumor antigen, namely
NY-ESO-1, MAGE-A3, MAGEA4, Multi-MAGE (an epitope common to several MAGE-A
antigens), SURVIVIN, MUC1 or a peptide derived from the Melan-A antigen.
Doses: 14 x 10^6 (LD) or 140 x 10^6(HD) cells per administration, split equally
(2 x 1,5ml) for two injection routes (IV and SC), 6 administrations one week
apart. In addition to the HD administrations, the C1 cohort will receive
booster administrations with 70 x 10^6 (HD) cells per administration, 1,5ml ,
6 administrations three weeks apart.
Two consecutive administrations: subcutaneous followed by intravenous. Booster
administrations will only include intravenous injections.
Duration of treatment: planned for 6 weeks, 25 weeks for Cohort C1
Study burden and risks
Burden/risks:
The currently known risks are:
• Skin reactions at the injection site: erythema, redness, hardening and
swelling after the injection.
• Furthermore, as with traditional vaccinations, local reactions may include:
pain in the area of the injection site, muscle pain, tenderness, vitiligo
(pigmentary skin reaction) and itching.
• Reactions associated with the administration of vaccines: tiredness,
faintness, headache and/or fever.
This will be the first time PDC*lung01 is administered in humans. During
previous studies, conducted by other research teams on anticancer immunotherapy
treatments containing dendritic cells, minor events such as injection site
reactions, tiredness, muscle pain and headache were observed. A medicinal
product under development that is similar to PDC*lung01 but developed to treat
melanoma, was subcutaneously administered to participants. Most of the side
effects were temporary skin reactions.
Expected benefit:
The aim of PDC*lung01 treatment is to prime and boost patients* CD8 T cells
specific for tumor antigens, and by doing that to potentiate the efficacy
(prolongation of reponse rate and progression free survival) of immune check
point inhibitors and particularly of anti-PD-1.
