CL-PTL-130: A Multi-Center Phase III, Randomized, Open-Label Trial of Vigil (Bi-shRNAfurin and GMCSF Augmented Autologous Tumor Cell Immunotherapy) in Combination With Irinotecan and Temozolomide as a Second-Line Regimen for Ewing's Sarcoma

Why are we doing this research?

BRIEF SUMMARY:

This is a multicenter, 1:1 randomized Phase III study of intradermal autologous Vigil immunotherapy (1.0 x 10e6 cells/injection; minimum of 4 to a maximum of 12 administrations) in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide in subjects with metastatic Ewing's sarcoma Family of Tumors (ESFT) refractory/intolerant or recurrent to 1 prior line of chemotherapy. Participants undergoing a standard surgical procedure (e.g., tumor biopsy or palliative resection) may have tumor tissue harvested for manufacture of the investigational product, Vigil. 

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

Participants will be managed in an outpatient setting. Hematologic function, liver enzymes, renal function and electrolytes will be monitored. Blood for immune function analyses including IFNγ-ELISPOT analysis of cytotoxic T cell activation in response to autologous tumor antigens will be collected at tissue procurement, post-procurement screening and Day 1 (prior to chemotherapy administration) at Cycles 2, 4, and 6, end of treatment (EOT), 3 months after EOT, and every 6 months thereafter. Blood for ctDNA analysis will be collected at tissue procurement, prior to chemotherapy administration at baseline and on Day 1 prior to chemotherapy administration at Cycles 2, 3, 4, and 6, and EOT.

Study Type: Interventional
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label) 
Primary Purpose: Treatment

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

Inclusion Criteria:

Completed manufacture of at least 4 vials of Vigil.
Karnofsky performance status (KPS) / Lansky performance status (LS) ≥80%.
Normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
Absolute granulocyte count ≥1,500/mm3, Absolute lymphocyte count ≥400/mm3, Platelets ≥100,000/mm3, Total bilirubin ≤ institutional upper limit of normal, AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤2x institutional upper limit of normal, Creatinine <1.5 mg/dL
Subject has recovered to CTCAE Grade 1 or better from all adverse events associated with prior therapy or surgery. Pre-existing motor or sensory neurologic pathology or symptoms must be recovered to CTCAE Grade 2 or better.
If female of childbearing potential, has a negative urine or serum pregnancy test. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a negative serum test will be required for study entry.
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed protocol specific consent or a parental/guardian informed consent and pediatric assent when appropriate.

Exclusion Criteria:

Any anti-neoplastic therapy between tissue procurement for Vigil manufacture and start of study therapy.
Live vaccine used for the prevention of infectious disease administered < 30 days prior to the start of study therapy.
Post-surgery complication that in the opinion of the treating investigator would interfere with the patient's study participation or make it not in the best interest of the patient to participate.
