Overview

A single arm, open-label pilot study is designed to determine the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of personalized mRNA tumor vaccine encoding neoantigen in Patients with advanced esophageal cancer and non-small cell lung cancer

Description

Primary objectives:

Assessing the safety and tolerability of mRNA personalized tumor vaccines encoding neoantigen for unresectable or metastatic advanced esophageal and non-small cell lung cancers with standard treatment failure or no standard treatment.

Secondary objectives:

Preliminary observation of the efficacy of mRNA personalized tumor vaccines encoding neoantigen for unsurgically resected or metastatic advanced esophageal and non-small cell lung cancers with standard treatment failure or no standard treatment.

Time of tumor progression (TTP); Disease Control Rate (DCR); Objective Remission Rate (ORR); Overall Survival (OS).

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Aged between 18 and 75 (including both ends), with no gender limit;
  • The primary lesion was confirmed by histopathology or cytology as esophageal carcinoma (ⅢC (T4bNanyM0, TanyN3M0), and stage Ⅳ) or non-small cell lung cancer (stage ⅢB-Ⅳ).
  • Patients who have metastatic or locally advanced tumor but failed instandard treatments or not suitable for standard treatments;
  • According to RECIST (V1.1), the efficacy evaluation criteria for solid tumors, there is at least one measurable lesion.
  • Participants with Performance Scale (PS) of 0 or 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) PS
  • Participants must have at least 1 lesion amenable to the mandatory fresh tumor biopsy at study entry
  • Fertile patients must agree to use a reliable contraceptive methods (hormonal or barrier methods or abstinence) during the trial and for at least 12 weeks after the last treatment;
  • The subject voluntarily participates and signs ICF (Informed consent forms).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any clinical research drugs, anti-cancer monoclonal antibodies, anti-cancer therapeutic vaccines, immunostimulants (such as IL-2) or using previous investigational drugs within 7 days of the first treatment with mRNA-personalized tumor vaccine or carrelizumab.
  • Patients who have allergies or previous history of biological drug allergy;
  • Patients who are in pregnant or breast-feeding;
  • Patients who are expected to survive less than 3 months during the screening period;
  • Tumor mutation load (TMB) is less than 2.0/Mb or tumor neogenic antigen load (TNB) is less than 0.5/Mb or the number of predicted neoantigen is less than 3;
  • Patients who underwent major surgery or suffered significant trauma within 4 weeks prior to the enrollment (blood collection), or who are expected to undergo major surgery during the study period;
  • Patients with symptoms of brain metastases (Patients with stable brain metastases can be included)
  • Extensive lung metastases from tumors, causing breathing difficulties;
  • Patients who have tumors close to large blood vessels or nerves;
  • A history of severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, including but not limited to ventricular arrhythmia requiring clinical intervention; Acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, stroke or other grade III and above cardiovascular events within 6 months; New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function grade≥Grade II or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%; Poorly controlled hypertension after standard treatment (systolic blood pressure> 150 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure> 90 mmHg);
  • Patients with active ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding;
  • Patients with clinically confirmed autoimmune disease have received systemic treatment in the past 2 years; HIV, HCV positive; HBV-DNA≥1×103 copies/mL (or 2×102 IU/mL); Acute EBV or CMV virus infection;

  • Participants with a history of interstitial lung disease;
  • Patients who have a history of organ transplantation or are waiting for organ transplantation;
  • Have any uncontrolled active infection;
  • Immunosuppressed subjects, including those with known immunodeficiency; those who are currently using steroids systemically (except those who are using inhaled steroids recently or currently);
  • Skin diseases (such as psoriasis) may prevent intradermal vaccines from reaching the target area;
  • Who have received chemotherapy, biotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy and other tumor treatments, or other experimental drug treatments, or surgery (excluding diagnostic biopsy) within 7 days prior to the first administration of mRNA tumor vaccine treatment;
  • Adverse effects from previous antitumor therapy have not recovered referred to CTCAE (V5.0) rating ≤1 (except hair loss);
  • The investigator evaluates that the subject is unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of study protocol.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
