Personalized Neoantigen Peptide-Based Vaccine in Combination With Pembrolizumab for Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors
United States132 participantsStarted 2022-03-31
Plain-language summary
This phase I/II trial tests the safety and tolerability of an experimental personalized vaccine when given by itself and with pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumor cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The experimental vaccine is designed target certain proteins (neoantigens) on individuals' tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving the personalized neoantigen peptide-based vaccine with pembrolizumab may be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

Inclusion Criteria COHORT 1 and COHORT 2 are no longer enrolling.
PHASE I PRE-REGISTRATION, ALL:
* Willing to provide tissue specimens per protocol
* NOTE: includes fresh tissue specimen at pre-registration for complete exome and transcriptome sequencing. Patients who had tumor sequencing under certain Mayo Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocols and neoantigen has been identified or REAL Neo vaccine produced are allowed to proceed to pre-registration and/or registration.
* Measurable disease as defined by RECIST (version 1.1) criteria or non-measurable disease
* NOTE: Tumor lesions in previously irradiated area are not considered measurable disease
* Patients with actionable genomic abnormality including, but not limited to EGFR, ALK, MET, ROS-1, RET, NTRK, KRAS or BRAF must have received and progressed on at least one line of prior FDA-approved targeted therapy
* Provide written informed consent
* Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up
* Willing to provide blood specimens for research
* Negative pregnancy test =\< 7 days prior to pre-registration for persons of childbearing potential. If urine test cannot be confirmed negative, serum pregnancy test will be required.

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.
