Anti-MART-1 F5 Cells Plus ALVAC MART-1 Vaccine to Treat Advanced Melanoma
Lead Sponsor:
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Conditions:
Metastatic Melanoma
Skin Cancer
Eligibility:
All Genders
18+ years
Phase:
PHASE2
Brief Summary
Background: * Melanoma antigen recognized by T-cells (MART)-1 is a protein present in melanoma cells. * An experimental procedure developed for treating patients with melanoma uses the anti-MART-1 F5...
Detailed Description
Background: * We have engineered human PBLs to express an anti-MART-1 T-cell receptor that recognizes an human leukocyte antigens (HLA-A) 0201 restricted epitope derived from the tumor infiltrating l...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Metastatic melanoma with measurable disease.
- Previously received high dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) and have been either non-responders (progressive disease) or have recurred.
- Positive for MART-1 by immunohistochemistry (IHC) which will be reviewed by the Laboratory of Pathology at National Cancer Institute (NCI).
- Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) cells not available for treatment on other Surgery Branch protocols.
- Greater than or equal to 18 years of age.
- Willing to sign a durable power of attorney.
- Able to understand and sign the Informed Consent Document.
- Clinical performance status of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0 or 1.
- Life expectancy of greater than three months.
- Patients of both genders must be willing to practice birth control for four months after receiving the preparative regimen.
- Patients must be human leukocyte antigens (HLA-A) 0201 positive.
- Serology:
- Seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody. (The experimental treatment being evaluated in this protocol depends on an intact immune system. Patients who are HIV seropositive can have decreased immune -competence and thus be less responsive to the experimental treatment and more susceptible to its toxicities.)
- Seronegative for hepatitis B antigen and hepatitis C antibody unless antigen negative.
- Hematology:
- Absolute neutrophil count greater than 1000/mm\^3 without the support of filgrastim.
- White blood cell (WBC) (greater than 3000/mm\^3.
- Platelet count greater than 100,000/mm\^3.
- Hemoglobin greater than 8.0 g/dl.
- Chemistry:
- Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) less or equal to 2.5 times the upper limit of normal.
- Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.6 mg/dl.
- Total bilirubin less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dl, except in patients with Gilbert's Syndrome who must have a total bilirubin less than 3.0 mg/dl.
- More than four weeks must have elapsed since any prior systemic therapy at the time the patient receives the preparative regimen, and patients' toxicities must have recovered to a grade 1 or less (except for toxicities such as alopecia or vitiligo).
- Six weeks must have elapsed since prior MDX-010 therapy to allow antibody levels to decline.
- Patients who have previously received MDX-010 or ticilimumab must have a normal colonoscopy with normal colonic biopsies.
- EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Women of child-bearing potential who are pregnant or breastfeeding because of the potentially dangerous effects of the preparative chemotherapy on the fetus or infant.
- Active systemic infections, coagulation disorders or other major medical illnesses of the cardiovascular, respiratory or immune system, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias, obstructive or restrictive pulmonary disease.
- Any form of primary immunodeficiency (such as Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease).
- Ongoing opportunistic infections (The experimental treatment being evaluated in this protocol depends on an intact immune system. Patients who have decreased immune competence may be less responsive to the experimental treatment and more susceptible to its toxicities).
- Systemic steroid therapy.
- History of severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction to any of the agents used in this study.
- History of coronary revascularization or ischemic symptoms.
- Any patient known to have an left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than or equal to 45 percent.
- Documented LVEF of less than or equal to 45 percent tested in patients with:
- Clinically significant atrial and/or ventricular arrhythmias including but not limited to: atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, second or third degree heart block.
- Age greater than or equal to 60 years old.
- Documented forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) less than or equal to 60 percent predicted tested in patients with:
- A prolonged history of cigarette smoking (20 pk/yrs of smoking).
- Symptoms of respiratory dysfunction.
