Cancer Vaccine

ATP128 + VSV-GP128 + BI 754091 for Colorectal Cancer (KISIMA-01 Trial)

Phase 1
Waitlist Available
Led By Scott Kopetz
Research Sponsored by Amal Therapeutics
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 2
Presence of at least 1 measurable lesion by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging per RECIST v1.1 as determined by the local site investigator/radiologist assessment.
Must not have
Has known history of or is positive for hepatitis B (hepatitis B virus surface antigen [HBsAg] reactive) or hepatitis C (HCV RNA)
Any of the following cardiac criteria: Mean resting corrected QT interval (QTc) > 470 msec, Any clinically important abnormalities (as assessed by the Investigator) in rhythm, conduction, or morphology of resting ECGs, e.g., complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block, Any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years old, or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval (according to institutional guidelines), Ejection fraction (EF) < 55% or the lower limit of normal of the institutional standard will be excluded. Only in cases where the Investigator (or the treating physician or both) suspects cardiac disease with negative effect on the EF will the EF be measured during screening using an appropriate method according to local standards to confirm eligibility (e.g. echocardiogram [ECHO], multi-gated acquisition scan [MUGA]. A historic measurement of EF no older than 6 months prior to first study treatment administration can be accepted provided that there is clinical evidence that the EF value has not worsened since this measurement in the opinion of the Investigator or the treating physician or both

Summary

This trial is assessing the safety and tolerability of the ATP128 vaccine when given alone or in combination with BI 754091. The trial will also assess the efficacy of the combination of ATP128 and VSV-GP128 when given in combination with BI 754091 in patients with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with stage IV colorectal cancer who have failed standard therapies or are in stable condition after first-line treatment. They must be able to undergo biopsies, not pregnant or breastfeeding, willing to use contraception, and without certain health conditions like autoimmune diseases, active infections, or heart issues.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing ATP128 alone or with BI 754091 (Ezabenlimab), and a prime-boost regimen of ATP128 + VSV-GP128 with BI 754091. It's for patients whose cancers haven't responded well to PD-1 blockade treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions related to vaccines and immune therapies such as injection site reactions, flu-like symptoms, fatigue, possible organ inflammation due to immune response activation but specific side effect profiles will be monitored throughout the study.
