Number of Patients With Objective Tumor RegressionPrimary· 6 and 12 weeks after cell infusion on up to 2 years
Objective tumor regression is defined as the number of participants with a complete or partial response per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.0. Complete response is disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD.
Number of Treatment Related Adverse Events Related to T-Cell Receptor (TCR) Gene-Engineered CellsPrimary· Date treatment consent signed to end of treatment, approximately 30 days
Aggregate of all Grade ≥3 adverse events and their frequency possibly, probably or definitely related to the research. Adverse Events were assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.4.0. Grade 3 is severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care activities of daily living (ADL). Grade 4 is life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5 is death related to adverse event.
Number of Participants With Serious and Non-Serious Adverse EventsPrimary· Date treatment consent signed to date off study, approximately 53 days for the Anti-MAGE-A3 A1 TCR PBL 1x10^9 Cells + Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Arm/Group, and 1 year and 4 months for the Anti-MAGE-A3 A1 TCR PBL 1x10^8 Cells + Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Arm/Group.
Here is the number of participants with serious and non-serious adverse events assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria in Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0). A non-serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence. A serious adverse event is an adverse event or suspected adverse reaction that results in death, a life threatening adverse drug experience, hospitalization, disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect or important medical events that jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one
Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)Secondary· Within 30 days of study cell infusion
DLT is defined as follows: Grade 3-5 allergic reactions related to the study cell infusion. Grade 3 and greater autoimmune reactions. Grades 3 and greater organ toxicity (cardiac, dermatologic, gastrointestinal, hepatic, pulmonary, renal/genitourinary, or neurologic) not pre-existing or due to the underlying malignancy and occurring within 30 days of study cell infusion and does not resolve within 72 hours. Treatment-related death within 8 weeks of the study cell infusion.
Time frame: Date treatment consent signed to date off study, approximately 53 days for the Anti-MAGE-A3 A1 TCR PBL 1x10^9 Cells + Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Arm/Group, and 1 year and 4 months for the Anti-MAGE-A3 A1 TCR PBL 1x10^8 Cells + Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Arm/Group..
Reporting threshold: 0%.
Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
Background:
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Surgery Branch has developed an experimental therapy for treating patients with cancer that involves taking white blood cells from the patient, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, genetically modifying these specific cells with a type of virus (retrovirus) to attack only the tumor cells, and then giving the cells back to the patient. This type of therapy is called gene transfer. In this protocol, we are modifying the patients white blood cells with a retrovirus that has the gene for anti-MAGE-A3 incorporated in the retrovirus.
Objective:
The purpose of this study is to determine a safe number of these cells to infuse and to see if these particular tumor-fighting cells (anti-MAGE A3 cells) cause tumors to shrink and to be certain the treatment is safe
Eligibility:
\- Adults age 18-66 with cancer expressing the MAGE-A3 molecule.
Design:
* Work up stage: Patients will be seen as an outpatient at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical Center and undergo a history and physical examination, scans, x-rays, lab tests, and other tests as needed
* Leukapheresis: If the patients meet all of the requirements for the study they will undergo leukapheresis to obtain white blood cells to make the anti MAGE-A3 cells. {Leukapheresis is a common procedure, which removes only the white blood cells from the patient.}
* Treatment: Once their cells have grown, the patients will be admitted to the hospital for the conditioning chemotherapy, the anti MAGE-A3 cells and aldesleukin. They will stay in the hospital for about 4 weeks for the treatment.
Follow up: Patients will return to the clinic for a physical exam, review of side effects, lab tests, and scans about every 1-3 months for the first year, and then every 6 months to 1 year as long as their tumors are shrinking. Follow up visits take up to 2 days.
