Personalized Neo-Antigen Peptide Vaccine for the Treatment of Stage IIIC-IV Melanoma, Hormone Receptor Positive HER2 Negative Metastatic Refractory Breast Cancer or Stage III-IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
United States25 participantsStarted 2022-06-09
Plain-language summary
This phase I trial studies the safety of personalized neo-antigen peptide vaccine in treating patients with stage IIIC-IV melanoma, hormone receptor positive HER2 negative breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) or stage III-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Personalized neo-antigen peptide vaccine is a product that combines multiple patient specific neo-antigens. Given personalized neo-antigen peptide vaccine together with Th1 polarizing adjuvant poly ICLC may induce a polyclonal, poly-epitope, cytolytic T cell immunity against the patient's tumor.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Female and/or male patients age \>= 18 years
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1, or 2
* Patients must have at least 1 lesion (or aggregate lesions) to obtain tumor tissue for resection of \>= 1 cm or \>= 4 core biopsies acceptable. Amenable to image (CT, ultrasound \[U/S\], or magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\]) guided biopsy for tissue collection necessary for neoantigen identification. Either primary or metastatic sites are options for tissue collection
* Measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria: Participants must have measurable disease, defined as at least one target lesion that can be measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as \>= 10 mm, unless lymph node in which case short axis must be \>= 15 mm. Baseline imaging (for example diagnostic CT chest/abdomen/pelvis, PET CT scan and imaging of the affected extremity as appropriate), brain imaging (MRI or CT scan) must be obtained within 45 days of prior to start of first planned vaccine dose infusion. MRI can be substituted for CT in patients unable to have CT contrast
* Serum creatine \< 1.5 mg/dL or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \> 60 mL/min
* Total bilirubin (tBili) \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and an aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \< 2.5 x ULN and \< 5 x ULN for subjects with documented liver metastasis. Patients with suspected Gil…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
