NCT03558945

Brief Summary

This clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and impact on prognosis of personalized neoantigen peptide-based vaccines, which are based on next-generation sequencing and major histocompatibility complex affinity prediction algorithm, in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The hypothesis of this study is that personalized neoantigen vaccines will be safe and can systemically elicit measurable neoantigen-specific immunologic responses in patients. Participants will receive complete macroscopic resection of primary tumor, standard adjuvant chemotherapy and subsequently personalized neoantigen vaccines.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence and grades of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0

    Safety will be assessed by the rate of grade 3 or worse adverse events (graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0).

    From the first dose of vaccination through 2 years after the surgery

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Recurrence-free survival

    From the date of resection surgery until the date of the first confirmed tumor recurrence or date of death from any cause or date of study completion, whichever came first, assessed up to 6 years.

  • Overall survival

    From the date of resection surgery until the date of death from any cause or date of study completion, whichever came first, assessed up to 6 years.

  • Serum CA19-9 or CA72-4 levels

    From the date of resection surgery until the date of last documented examination of CA19-9 and CA72-4 or date of study completion, whichever came first, assessed up to 6 years.

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Levels of interferon-γ responses in peripheral blood mononuclear cells

    From the date of first dose of vaccination through 264 days after the first dose of vaccination.

  • Percentages of immune cell populations in peripheral blood during the vaccination

    From the date of first dose of vaccination through 264 days after the first dose of vaccination.

Study Arms (1)

Personalized neoantigen vaccine

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will receive radical resection surgery and at least one circle of post-operative chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, personalized neoantigen vaccines will be administered subcutaneously.

Biological: Personalized neoantigen vaccine

Interventions

Patients will have complete resection of primary tumor without preoperative chemotherapy. Patients will receive postoperative chemotherapy and subsequently personalized vaccines on days 1, 4, 8, 15, 22 (priming phase) and weeks 12, 20 (boosting phase). Personalized vaccines will consist of several distinct peptides (the dose is 0.3 mg/peptide) that are grouped into 2-4 pools and 0.5 mg of poly-ICLC as the adjuvant for each pool. Injection sites will be 2-4 separate sites of the subject's thighs.
