What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
immunological outcomes: The frequency (%) of HPV16-specific T cells
Time frame: at the end of the study, 24 months after the first inclusion
The primary immunological outcomes is: The frequency (%) of HPV16-specific T cells will be evaluated using Activation Induced Marker (AIM) assay using CD69 and CD137 (4-1BB) activation markers after a 24 hours stimulation using two validated tests routinely used in vaccine studies including ICS and AIM assays. These tests will be performed in all collected samples at W0, W2, W6, W26 and W48 for th -
recommended phase 2 dose (mg) (RP2D) of poly-ICLC-adjuvanted CD40HVac
Time frame: 1year after the last visit of last patient
The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of poly-ICLC-adjuvanted CD40HVac will be determined by the Extensive Steering Committee according to the safety analysis and to the capacity of the vaccine to elicit immune responses. The capacity to elicit immune response will be used to choose the RP2D in the event that several doses of vaccine are acceptable in terms of safety (i.e. that meet of the "go-crite
Sponsor's own description
This study is a multicentric double-blind placebo-controlled dose escalation trial of a CD40HVac vaccine (humanized anti-CD40 mAb fused to HPV16 E6/E7 oncoproteins) adjuvanted with poly-ICLC (Hiltonol) in patients with HPV16 oropharyngeal carcinoma with no evidence of residual or recurrent disease after surgery and/or radiochemotherapy. The primary objective is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of a poly-ICLC(Hiltonol)-adjuvanted CD40HVac vaccine according to the safety and the capacity to elicit immune responses of different doses Two dose levels of poly-ICLC-adjuvanted CD40.HVac will be explored * 1st dose level: CD40.HVac 1.0 mg, with 1.0 mg poly-ICLC * 2nd dose level: CD40.HVac 3.0 mg, with 1.0 mg poly-ICLC The safety data will be reviewed by an IDSMB that will give recommendations.
