Official Title: Phase 1 Study of Leukemic Dendritic Cell Vaccination in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Study ID: NCT01373515

Study Description

Brief Summary: This is an open label phase 1 feasibility and safety dose escalation study. The main objective is to evaluate the safety of DCP-001 intradermal vaccination in patients with AML.

Detailed Description: DCPrime is testing an allogeneic (non-self cells, standardised product) DC-based immunotherapy in cancer patients. The technology consists of sustainable dendritic progenitor cells (named "DCOne™") and a proprietary method to expand these and to create functional mature dendritic cells (DCP-001). AML is a fast growing form of leukemia that particularly in the elderly (\>60) is life threatening. As age is an important factor in determining the success of AML treatment, overall, AML has a bad prognosis as only 24% of the patients are alive 5 years after diagnosis. Without treatment AML is fatal, usually within months. Chemotherapy can cure patients and prolong survival in responders; however, chemotherapy is also quite toxic and can cause substantial morbidity and mortality. The most commonly prescribed first line therapy for patients with AML is a combination of an anthracycline and cytarabine; in the Western world the anthracycline is either daunorubicin or idarubicin. Post remission therapy (consolidation therapy) is usually given. There is therefore substantial medical need for new treatment modalities. One of the major difficulties regarding development of new agents is that relatively low response rates and toxicity issues have been in the way of approval of new agents. Immunotherapy, in particular with the therapeutic vaccines, is expected to have potential in prevention of recurrence of disease after cytoreductive therapy. Any drug that could prevent or reduce minimal residual disease in the population is likely to meet a strong medical need for this population of high risk patients. In this phase 1 trial consecutive eligible patients will be treated until 12 patients have completed the study. Patients will be started with the vaccination program within 2 months after having achieved complete remission or in patients who have stable disease over at least a 2 month period. The first cohort (n=3) will receive 4 bi-weekly vaccinations of 1x10E7 DCP-001, the second cohort (n=3) will receive 4 bi-weekly vaccinations of 2.5x10E7 DCP-001, and the last cohort (n=3) will receive 4 bi-weekly vaccinations of 5x10E7 DCP-001. The Dose Limiting Toxicity (DTL) is defined as non-hematological toxicity of ≥ 3 according to common toxicity criteria v3.0. The 4th cohort (matched for HLA-A2) will receive 4 vaccinations of the highest dose (5x10E7 DCP-001) or, in case this turned out to be toxic (as determined by the vaccination profile of cohort 1, 2 and 3), this group will receive the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). DCP-001 vaccine is presented as a direct injectable sterile cell suspension consisting of irradiated mature dendritic cells in cryopreservation solution packed in vials. The vaccine will be administered intradermally.
