CELLCONTROL-MSKCC-02122, NCT00058435

Objectives

  1. Determine the safety of varying routes and doses of monoclonal antibody ACA125 anti-idiotype vaccine in patients with ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer.
  2. Determine an optimal dose and route of this vaccine for a phase II study.
  3. Determine the immune response induced by this vaccination in these patients.
  4. Determine the time to development of objective tumor response in patients treated with this regimen.

Expected Enrollment

A total of 40 patients (10 patients per cohort) will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is a multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive lower-dose monoclonal antibody ACA125 anti-idiotype vaccine (MOAB ACA125) intramuscularly (IM) on weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, and 14 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


  • Arm II: Patients receive higher-dose MOAB ACA125 IM as in arm I.


  • Arm III: Patients receive lower-dose MOAB ACA125 subcutaneously (SC) on weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, and 14 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


  • Arm IV: Patients receive higher-dose MOAB ACA125 SC as in arm III.


Patients are followed every 6-12 weeks for 2 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
