RECRUITING

Autologous T-cells Genetically Engineered to Express Receptors Reactive Against KRAS Mutations in Conjunction With a Vaccine Directed Against These Antigens in Participants With Metastatic Cancer

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Background: Many cancer cells produce substances called antigens that are unique to each cancer. These antigens stimulate the body s immune responses. One approach to treating these cancers is to take disease-fighting white blood cells from a person, change those cells so they will target the specific proteins (called antigens) from the cancer cells, and return them to that person s blood. The use of the white blood cells in this manner is one form of gene therapy. A vaccine may help these modified white cells work better. Objective: To test a cancer treatment that uses a person s own modified white blood cells along with a vaccine that targets a specific protein. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 to 72 years with certain solid tumors that have spread after treatment. Design: Participants will undergo leukapheresis: Blood is removed from the body through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. The blood passes through a machine that separates out the white blood cells. The remaining blood is returned to the body through a second needle. Participants will stay in the hospital for 3 or 4 weeks. They will take chemotherapy drugs for 1 week to prepare for the treatment. Then their modified white cells will be infused through a needle in the arm. They will take other drugs to prevent infections after the infusion. The vaccine is injected into a muscle; participants will receive their first dose of the vaccine on the same day as their cell infusion. Participants will have follow-up visits 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the cell infusions. They will receive 2 or 3 additional doses of the boost vaccine during these visits. Follow-up will continue for 5 years, but participants will need to stay in touch with the gene therapy team for 15 years. ...

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years to 72 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Participants with an appropriate HLA match for available Surgery Branch KRAS TCRs with evaluable metastatic solid cancer (e.g., gastrointestinal, genitourinary, breast, ovarian, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other solid cancers) with known KRAS G12V or G12D mutation.
  2. * Confirmation of diagnosis of cancer by the NCI Laboratory of Pathology.
  3. * Refractory to standard systemic therapy. Specifically:
  4. * Participants with metastatic colorectal cancer must have received oxaliplatin and/or irinotecan.
  5. * Participants with breast and ovarian cancer must have received at least two systemic treatments.
  6. * Participants with NSCLC must have received at least one platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and at least one FDA-approved targeted treatment (when appropriate).
  7. * Participants with other solid tumors must have received at least one prior line of systemic treatment or have declined standard treatment.
  8. * Participants with three (3) or fewer brain metastases that are \< 1 cm in diameter each and asymptomatic are eligible. Lesions that have been treated with stereotactic radiosurgery must be clinically stable for one month after treatment for the participant to be eligible. Participants with surgically resected brain metastases are eligible.
  9. * Age \>= 18 years and \<= 72 years.
  10. * Clinical performance status of ECOG 0 or 1 (see Appendix A).
  11. * Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to use highly effective contraception (hormonal, intrauterine device \[IUD, abstinence, surgical sterilization starting at the time of study entry, for the duration of study therapy, and 12 months after the last dose of combined chemotherapy
  12. * Participants must have serology results as follows:
  13. * Seronegative for HIV antibody.
  14. * Seronegative for hepatitis B antigen, and seronegative for hepatitis C antibody. If hepatitis C antibody test is positive, then participant must be tested for the presence of antigen by RT-PCR and be HCV RNA negative.
  15. * Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
  16. * ANC \> 1000/mm\^3 without growth factor support
  17. * WBC \>= 2500/mm\^3
  18. * Platelet count (Bullet) 80,000/mm3
  19. * Hemoglobin \> 8.0 g/dL. Subjects may be transfused to reach this cut-off.
  20. * Chemistry:
  21. * Serum ALT/AST \<= 5.0 x ULN
  22. * Serum creatinine \<= 1.6 mg/dL
  23. * Total bilirubin \<= 2.0 mg/dL, except in participants with Gilbert s Syndrome, who must have a total bilirubin \< 3.0 mg/dL.
  24. * Participants must have completed any prior systemic therapy at the time of enrollment.
  25. * For participants with NSCLC or lung metastases, more than two weeks must have elapsed since any prior palliation for major bronchial occlusion or bleeding at the time the patient receives the preparative regimen, and patient s toxicities must have recovered to a grade 1 or less.
  26. * Ability of subject to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  27. * Willing to sign a durable power of attorney.
  28. * Participants must be co-enrolled on protocol 03-C-0277.
  1. * Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding because of the potentially dangerous effects of the treatment on the fetus or infant.
  2. * Any form of secondary immunosuppression.
  3. * Active systemic infections requiring anti-infective treatment, coagulation disorders, or any other active or uncompensated major medical illnesses.
  4. * For participants with NSCLC or lung metastases, any major bronchial occlusion or bleeding not amenable to palliation.
  5. * Any form of primary immunodeficiency (such as Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease and AIDS).
  6. * History of major organ autoimmune disease.
  7. * Concurrent opportunistic infections (The experimental treatment being evaluated in this protocol depends on an intact immune system. Participants who have decreased immune-competence may be less responsive to the experimental treatment and more susceptible to its toxicities.)
  8. * History of severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction to cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, aldesleukin or vaccines.
  9. * Clinically significant participant history which in the judgment of the Principal Investigator (PI) would compromise the participants ability to tolerate high-dose aldesleukin.
  10. * History of coronary revascularization or ischemic symptoms.
  11. * For select participants with a clinical history prompting cardiac evaluation: last known LVEF \<= 45%.
  12. * For select participants with a clinical history prompting pulmonary evaluation: known FEV1 \<= 50% predicted.
