Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This cancer vaccine research study involves the injection of the NY-ESO-1b peptide along with 2 other agents to help stimulate the immune system. Peptides are small fragments of protein. NY- ESO-1 peptides are normally found in the testis and the placenta. They have also been found on various types of cancer cells. The purpose is to stimulate the immune system to react against the peptides that are found on cancer cells.

- Patients with Cancer Expressing NY-ESO-1 or LAGE-1 Antigen.
- description
- NY-ESO-1b peptide, 100 μg mixed with 1 mg CpG 7909 and 0.5mL of Montanide® ISA-51 was administered to patients with cancer expressing NY-ESO-1 or LAGE-1 antigen. The injections were given subcutaneously beginning on week 1 and repeated every three weeks for 4 injections total. There was a 3 week follow-up period after the last injection. In the absence of toxicity and progressive disease (PD), a second cycle was offered to patients who received 4 vaccinations.

Primary outcomes (4)
- measure
- Number of Patients With NY-ESO-1 Specific Humoral Immunity as Determined by an Increase in Antibody Titer From Baseline.
- timeFrame
- up to 27 weeks
- description
- Blood samples were obtained at baseline (prior to the first dose), prior to the second, third and fourth injection and 2 weeks after the fourth injection in both cycles 1 and 2 for the assessment of NY-ESO-1 specific antibodies by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A positive response was a readable optical density at 280 nm.
