Trial Information

A Phase I Study of an MVA Vaccine Targeting P53 in Cancer


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:I. To establish whether 2 vaccine dose levels of modified vaccinia virus
ankara vaccine expressing p53 (MVAp53) vaccines are safe and well tolerated in patients with
p53 over-expressing solid tumor malignancy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:I. To provide preliminary evidence of enhanced cellular and humoral
immunity to p53.

OUTLINE:This is a phase I, dose-escalation trial of modified vaccinia virus ankara vaccine
expressing p53 (MVAp53).Patients receive MVAp53 subcutaneously (SC) on days 0, 21, and 42 in
the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up annually for 5 years.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients with unresectable and chemotherapy resistant primary or recurrent carcinoma
of colorectal, gastric or pancreatic origin

- There must be pathologic evidence for malignancy with a soft tissue component of
tumor evident on CT scan imaging or physical examination

- Patient must be able to give informed consent

- There must be an anticipated survival of at least 3 months

- Performance status of 80-100 (Karnofsky performance status)

- WBC count >= 3,000uL

- Platelet count >= 100,000uL

- Prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time of <= 1.5 times the upper limit of
normal

- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test; women and men of
childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier
method of birth control or abstinence) prior to study entry and for six months
following duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant during or
suspect that she is pregnant while participating on the trial, she should inform her
treating physician immediately

- Patients with asymptomatic small volume bone disease not likely to require radiation
therapy during the period of the vaccine trial will be eligible

therapy with oxaliplatin, irinotecan as well as epidermal growth factor receptor
(EGFR) directed therapies (if appropriate); patients with gastric cancer will need to
have progressed on standard first line chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy and
Herceptin based therapy (if appropriate); patients with pancreatic cancer who have
failed to respond to at least 1 chemotherapy regimen

- Autoimmune disease

- HIV seropositivity or refusal to hear the results of the HIV test

- Receipt of organ grafts

- History of severe environmental allergies

- History of severe neurological, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, endocrine,
respiratory, or bone marrow dysfunction requiring frequent re-evaluation, and
management by a physician

- Known family history of Li-Fraumeni syndrome

- Allergy to egg proteins

- Chemotherapy or radiation within the 4 weeks preceding enrollment
