Brief Summary

This was a Phase 2, single-center, open-label study of recombinant vaccinia-NY-ESO-1 (rV-NY-ESO-1) and recombinant fowlpox-NY-ESO-1 (rF-NY-ESO-1) injections in patients who had a complete response to ...

Detailed Description

Patients received a single intradermal injection of rV-NY-ESO-1 (3.1 × 10\^7 plaque forming units \[PFU\]) on Day 1, followed by monthly subcutaneous injections of rF-NY-ESO-1 (7.41 × 10\^7 PFU) for 6...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Histologically documented epithelial carcinoma arising in the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum, from stage II to IV at diagnosis.
  • Received initial surgery and chemotherapy with at least one platinum-based chemotherapy regimen.
  • Demonstrated complete response to first line therapy as evidenced by negative clinical examination, cancer antigen (CA)-125 tumor marker, and computed tomography (CT) scan. In addition, if second-look surgery was performed, patients must have had no evidence of microscopic or macroscopic disease. Patients must have been within 6 months of completing their first line platinum-based chemotherapy. These patients would normally enter a period of observation as standard management.
  • Tumor expression of 1) NY-ESO-1 by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, preferably, or immunohistochemistry; or 2) LAGE-1 by RT-PCR.
  • Expected survival of at least 6 months.
  • Full recovery from surgery.
  • Karnofsky performance status of 70% or more.
  • Patients must have had the following clinical laboratory results:
  • neutrophil count: ≥ 1.5 x 10\^9/L
  • lymphocyte count: ≥ 0.5 x 10\^9/L
  • platelet count: ≥ 100 x 10\^9/L
  • serum creatinine: ≤ 2 mg/dL
  • serum bilirubin: ≤ 2 mg/dL
  • Ability to avoid close contact with children \< 3 years of age; pregnant or breast feeding women; individuals with active, or a history of, eczema or atopic dermatitis or other skin disorders such as burns, chickenpox, shingles, impetigo, herpes, severe acne, or psoriasis; and immunocompromised individuals (human immunodeficiency virus \[HIV\], leukemia, lymphoma, solid organ transplantation, generalized malignancy, cellular or humoral immunodeficiency syndromes, patients currently receiving cytotoxic chemotherapies, radiation, or high dose corticosteroids).
  • Have been informed of other treatment options.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Able and willing to give valid written informed consent.

Exclusion

  • Metastatic disease to the central nervous system for which other therapeutic options, including radiotherapy, may have been available.
  • Other serious illnesses (eg, serious infections requiring antibiotics, bleeding disorders).
  • History of current eczema or atopic dermatitis.
  • History of autoimmune disease (eg., thyroiditis, lupus).
  • Other acute, chronic, or exfoliative skin conditions such as burns, chickenpox, shingles, impetigo, herpes, severe acne, or psoriasis.
  • Concomitant systemic treatment with corticosteroids, anti-histamine or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Specific cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors were permitted.
  • Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy within 4 weeks before study entry (6 weeks for nitrosoureas).
  • Known HIV positivity.
  • Known allergy or severe reaction to a smallpox (vaccinia) vaccination.
  • Known allergy to eggs, determined by history.
  • Myocardial infarction, angina, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, stroke or transient ischemic attack, chest pain or shortness of breath with activity, or other heart conditions being treated by a doctor.
  • Presence of 3 or more of the following risk factors:
  • Hypertension
  • Hypercholesterolemia
  • Diabetes
  • A first degree relative (for example, mother, father, brother, sister) who had a heart condition before the age of 50
  • Current cigarette smoker
  • Participation in any other clinical trial involving another investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
  • Mental impairment that may have compromised the ability to give informed consent and comply with the requirements of the study.
  • Lack of availability of a patient for immunological and clinical follow-up assessment.
