Recruiting PHASE1 Colorectal Cancer

New treatment option for Colorectal Cancer

Official title GUCY2C Prime-Boost Vaccination for Advanced Colorectal and Small Bowel Adenocarcinomas

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07417488

What this study is testing

What is Ad5.F35-hGUCY2C-PADRE vaccine?

Ad5.F35-hGUCY2C-PADRE vaccine is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for colorectal cancer.

Also referred to as Ad5/F35-hGCC-PADRE, Adenovirus 5/F35-HGCC-PADRE.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is an open-label, non-randomized, single-center, dose-escalation Phase 1 trial using a heterologous prime-boost strategy of vaccination with Ad5.F35-hGUCY2C-PADRE and recombinant Listeria monocytogenes (Lm-GUCY2C) vaccines in patients with advanced solid tumors including colorectal cancer, and small bowel adenocarcarcinomas who have progressed on available standard therapies. The study treatment will begin with Ad5.F35-hGUCY2C-PADRE vaccine administered intramuscularly (IM) once at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD) dose, followed four weeks later by two administrations of Lm-GUCY2C intravenously (IV) at one of three escalating dose levels, four weeks apart.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
  • Time commitment: about 4 weeks
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
