| NCT00113984 ↗ | Vaccine and Antibody Treatment of Prostate Cancer | Completed | National Cancer Institute (NCI) | Phase 1 | 2005-06-08 | This study will evaluate the side effects of a fixed dose of vaccine and GM-CSF with increasing doses of anti-CTLA-4 antibody in patients with advanced prostate cancer. The vaccine consists of a "priming vaccine" called PROSTVAC/TRICOM, made from vaccinia virus, and a "boosting vaccine" called PROSTVAC-F/TRICOM, made from fowlpox virus. GM-CSF is a chemical that boosts the immune system, and anti-CTLA-4 antibody is a protein that may improve anti-tumor activity and the response to the vaccines. DNA is inserted into the priming and boosting vaccine viruses to cause production of proteins that enhance immune activity and also to produce prostate specific antigen (PSA)-a protein that is normally produced by the patient's tumor cells. Patients 18 years of age and older with androgen-insensitive prostate cancer that has spread beyond the original site may be eligible for this 7-month study. Candidates must have disease that has worsened despite treatments with hormones and up to one chemotherapy regimen. Their tumor must produce PSA, and they must have no history of allergy to eggs or egg products Candidates are screened with a medical history and physical examination, blood and urine tests, electrocardiogram, pathological confirmation of the diagnosis and presence of the PSA marker, chest x-rays, imaging studies to assess the extent of tumor, and, if clinically indicated, a cardiologic evaluation. Participants receive the priming vaccination on study day 1. After 2 weeks and then again every 4 weeks while on the study, they receive a boosting vaccine. All vaccines are injected under the skin. On the day of each vaccination and daily for the next 3 days, patients receive an injection of GM-CSF to increase the number of immune cells at the vaccination site. On the day of the first six boosting vaccinations, they receive anti-CTLA-4 antibody as an infusion through a vein over 90 minutes. Patients are monitored for safety and treatment response with the following tests and procedures: - Blood and urine tests monthly, or more often if needed, to monitor liver, kidney, and other organ function. - Imaging studies to assess the tumor before starting treatment, again around study days 99 and 183, and then every 3 months after that while on study. - Apheresis (a procedure for collecting immune cells called lymphocytes) to measure the immune response to treatment. Apheresis is done three times: before starting the study and again around study days 99 and 183. For this procedure, blood is collected through a needle in an arm vein. The blood circulates through a machine that separates it into its components by spinning, and the lymphocytes are extracted. The rest of the blood is returned to the patient through the same needle. This will only be done in participants who have the tissue marker HLA-A2 (about 50% of patients). Patients whose disease responds to treatment and who do not develop severe side effects may continue treatment beyond the initial 7-month study period on vaccine alone (without the antibody). After treatment is completed, patients are monitored for up to 15 years. This includes a medical history and physical examination for 5 years following the last vaccination. Information beyond 5 years is collected once a year by telephone. |
| NCT00300417 ↗ | Phase I Study of West Nile Virus Vaccine | Completed | National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) | Phase 1 | 2006-03-03 | This study will test the safety of an experimental vaccine for preventing West Nile virus infection. The virus is spread mainly by mosquito bites. Symptoms can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. Rarely, infection leads to permanent nerve damage and possibly death. The vaccine used in the study is made from DNA that codes for West Nile virus proteins. Injected into a muscle, the DNA instructs the body to make a small amount of West Nile virus protein. This study will see if the body creates resistance or immunity to these proteins. Participants cannot get West Nile virus from the vaccine. Healthy normal volunteers between 18 and 65 years of age may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination, and blood and urine tests for various infections and other medical problems. Women who are able to become pregnant are given a pregnancy test. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not participate. Anyone who has received a vaccination for Yellow Fever or Japanese Encephalitis virus in the past may not participate in this research study. Participants will receive three injections of the experimental vaccine, the first on the first study day (Day 0), the second on Day 28, and the third on Day 56. The injections are given with a device called Biojector® (Registered Trademark) 2000 that delivers the vaccine through the skin into the muscle without the use of a needle. On the day of each injection, subjects are given a diary card to take home for recording their temperature and any symptoms or side effects for 5 days. They return to the clinic 2 weeks after each injection, bringing the completed card with them at that time. In addition to the injections, subjects have the following tests and procedures during clinic visits: - Medical history and, if needed, physical examination: Day 0 and weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 and 32 - Vital signs and weight: Day 0 and weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 and 32 - Lymph node exam: Day 0 and weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 - Blood samples: Day 0 and weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 and 32 - Pregnancy test (for women): Day 0 and weeks 4, 8 and 32 - Urine sample: Day 0 and weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 The blood and urine tests are for health checks. Some blood samples are also used to study the immune response to the vaccine and for gene testing. |

| NCT01710189 ↗ | Cervicovaginal Immune Responses to 3 Deltoid or Thigh Intramuscular (IM) TicoVac | Completed | University of Surrey | Phase 4 | 2012-10-01 | Many viral infections of global importance, including HIV, are transmitted across the mucosal surface of the genital tract. As immunity against these infections is likely to be primarily mediated by antibodies in mucosal secretions, developing techniques to increase the levels and persistence of antiviral antibody on mucosal surfaces may enhance the protection against a number of important infections. Preclinical studies have anatomically targeted vaccine antigens to sites where genital tract immunity is induced. This response is likely due to the ability of regional lymph Preclinical studies have anatomically targeted vaccine antigens to sites where genital tract immunity is induced. This response is likely due to the ability of regional lymph nodes to "pattern" the cell surface markers of responding vaccine specific lymphocytes with homing markers. In contrast, injecting a distant muscle (such as in the arm) which shares no anatomical relationship with the vagina, may not pattern cells with homing markers for the genital tract. Direct injection of inguinal lymph nodes is impractical in humans but intramuscular injection into the thigh will target antigens to the deep inguinal lymph nodes shared in common with the cervix/vagina. This study will be a Phase IV randomised, single centre, open label, laboratory assessment blinded exploratory trial to assess mucosal immunogenicity following three targeted intramuscular immunisations with TicoVac vaccine. 20 subjects will be randomised to each of2 groups immunised in right deltoid or right anterolateral thigh. Following an initial screening visit subjects will be immunised at 0, 1 and 6 months. There will be follow up visits 5 days after each immunisation and a final visit at 7 months. Blood samples and cervicovaginal secretions will be taken prior to each immunisation for immunological measures. In addition, blood samples will be taken at each immunisation and follow up visit for measurement of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The study is funded by ADITEC, which is a collaborative research programme that aims to accelerate the development of novel and powerful immunisation technologies for the next generation of human vaccines. |
| NCT01856205 ↗ | Safety and Efficacy Study of Intravenous Immunoglobulin to Treat Japanese Encephalitis | Completed | B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences | Phase 2 | 2009-05-01 | Japanese encephalitis is caused by a viral infection of the brain transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. Patients with Japanese encephalitis can rapidly develop worsening conscious level and seizures. Around a third will die from the infection and half of survivors have serious long-term neurological disability. The majority of those affected are children. There are many causes of viral encephalitis, however Japanese encephalitis virus is the most common cause worldwide with over 60,000 cases annually. It occurs over much of Asia and the geographical range is expanding. There is no specific treatment for Japanese encephalitis virus, although several have been trialed. In this study we examined the effect of a new treatment, called intravenous immunoglobulin, on children with Japanese encephalitis in Nepal. Prior studies have suggested intravenous immunoglobulin may neutralize Japanese encephalitis virus and suppress damaging inflammation in the brain. It has previously been used in individual cases but never examined in a randomized trial. There was recently a trial of IVIG in West Nile encephalitis in the United States, in which Professor Solomon was on the Scientific Advisory Committee. In this study we will look if intravenous immunoglobulin is safe in this context, and that this treatment may alter the way the immune system manages the infection. Therefore, in this pilot study we will test the hypothesis that IVIG can be safely given to children with suspected JE, with no increased risk of serious adverse events compared with placebo. The aim of this proposal is to conduct a pilot safety and tolerability randomized placebo controlled trial of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in patients with Japanese encephalitis, to explore the relationship between JEV viral load, pro-inflammatory markers called cytokines and blood brain barrier markers, and the effect of IVIG on these relationships. |
