Lung Cancer Clinical Trial
A Study of a Personalized Cancer Vaccine Targeting Shared Neoantigens
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose, safety, immunogenicity and early clinical activity of GRT-C903 and GRT-R904, a neoantigen-based therapeutic cancer vaccine, in combination with immune checkpoint blockade, in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, microsatellite stable colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and shared neoantigen-positive tumors.
Full Description
Tumors harboring non-synonymous deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mutations can present peptides containing these mutations as non-self antigens in the context of HLA on the tumor cell surface. A fraction of mutated peptides result in neoantigens capable of generating T-cell responses that exclusively target tumor cells. Some of these tumor-specific neoantigens are known or expected to be common across a subset of patients and are called shared neoantigens. This study aims to target shared neoantigens using a heterologous prime/boost therapeutic vaccine approach (GRT-C903 first followed by GRT-R904) in combination with checkpoint blockade to stimulate an immune response. This study will explore the safety and early clinical activity of this neoantigen-based immunotherapy intended to induce T-cell responses specific for the shared neoantigens contained within the therapeutic vaccine. Phase 1 will test multiple doses and combinations with checkpoint blockade and Phase 2 will test for early signs of clinical activity using a vaccine regimen based on Phase 1 data.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Provide a signed and dated informed consent form prior to initiation of study-specific procedures.
Patients with the indicated advanced or metastatic solid tumor as follows:
Microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC) who are currently receiving systemic treatment with a fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin and/or irinotecan that may include a VEGF or EGFR targeting therapy as their 1L therapy for metastatic disease OR who have experienced disease progression following treatment with a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan that may include a VEGF or EGFR targeting therapy and have not received additional lines of systemic therapy in the metastatic setting.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are currently receiving systemic treatment with an anti-PD-(L)1 antibody in combination with cytotoxic, platinum-based chemotherapy OR who have experienced disease progression following treatment with an anti-PD-(L)1 antibody in combination with cytotoxic, platinum-based chemotherapy (or anti-PD-(L)1 alone if patient refuses platinum-based chemotherapy), and have not received additional lines of systemic therapy in the metastatic setting.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) who are currently receiving systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy as their 1L therapy for metastatic disease OR who have experienced disease progression on 1L systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy and have received no more than 1 prior line of therapy in the metastatic setting.
Any solid tumor histology where the patient has experienced disease progression with all available therapies known to confer clinical benefit
