Adverse Events Evaluated by CTCAE 4.0 Primary · 0 - 75 weeks

Patients were evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCEA). An adverse event (AE) is an abnormal clinical finding. Each participant was assessed from start of treatment until 6 months after the last vaccine.

Immune Responses Secondary · project blood samples were taken at baseline and every 3 months for a maximum of 1,5 year. Tumor biopsies were taken at baseline and after 3 months if possible.

Overall Survival Secondary · 0 - 75 weeks

Overall Survival (OS) defined as time from treatment initiation to death, will be described with use of Kaplan Meier curve.

4.Progression Free Survival Secondary · 0 - 75 weeks

Progression free survival (PFS) defined as the time from treatment initiation to disease progression, relapse or death due to any cause, which ever comes first, will be described with Kaplan Meier curve. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov

Time frame: Adverse event data were collected at baseline and every 3 weeks (when the vaccine was given) for up to 6 months after the last vaccine ( 6 months follow-up). Reporting threshold: 1%. Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.

Sponsor's own description

In this phase I first-in-humans-study a vaccine consisting of arginase-1 (ARG1) peptides and the adjuvant Montanide ISA-51 will be tested in ten patients with metastatic solid tumors. Patients will be treated with an ARG1 vaccine every third week for 45 weeks.
