Trial Summary

This randomized phase II clinical trial studied how well the MUC1 peptide-poly-ICLC adjuvant vaccine works in treating patients with recently diagnosed advanced colon polyps (adenomatous polyps). These polyps may potentially develop into colorectal cancer given time. This vaccine may help the body build an effective immune response to kill the polyp cells. 110 volunteers were randomized and 94 completed the study.

The MUC1 peptide-poly-ICLC adjuvant vaccine was administered in weeks 0, 2, and 10 with a booster injection in week 53.

Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms:

• Arms
  • ARM I: MUC1 peptide-poly-ICLC adjuvant vaccine injection was administered in weeks 0, 2, and 10 with a booster injection in week 53.
  • ARM II: Saline injection was administered in weeks 0, 2, and 10 with a booster injection in week 53.

Schema

The Schema is a timeline of the study. It indicates start/end points, visits expected, major testing to be done, and any other information that is crucial to understanding how the study was completed.

Over the course of this study 1,743 biospecimens were collected. Research blood kits were provided by BAP Kit Building (Biospecimen Accessioning and Processing Core Facility) and were used for collecting and shipping all research samples for analysis. Blood samples were taken at baseline, week 2, week 10, week 12, week 52, week 55, and week 156. Tissue specimens were taken only at baseline and week 156.

Blood samples were collected between Mondays and Thursdays so that they could be shipped overnight for next day analysis. For analysis, the heparinized blood will centrifuged over a density gradient (Ficoll) to separate the plasma and PBMC. The plasma was then collected, aliquoted, and stored at -20°C. The PBMC will be washed several times, aliquoted, slowly frozen to -70 to -80°C in human serum with 20% DMSO and stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen.

Tissue specimens were collected as paraffin blocks and/or unstained slides from the polyps/adenomas removed during the routing colonoscopy both pre- and post-intervention. Institutions that were unable to submit paraffin blocks could send five 5-micron unstained slide from each advanced adenomas.

Results/Findings:

Transient, mild-to-moderate injection site reactions unrelated to IL12 DNA dose were common. Increases in HCV-specific IFNγ production occurred in 15/20 (75%) participants. Increases in the frequency of HCV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells occurred at all dose levels, with the greatest increases seen at 1.0 mg of INO-9012. HCV-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T-cell activities increased in 16/18 (89%) and 14/17 (82%) participants with available data, respectively. The vaccine regimen was safe and induced HCV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ cellular immune responses of modest magnitude in most HCV-infected participants. The addition of 1.0 mg of IL12 DNA provided the best enhancement of immune responses. The vaccine regimen had little effect on controlling HCV viremia.
