| Ewing's Sarcoma | Biological: Vigil Drug: Temozolomide Drug: Irinotecan | Phase 2 |
Part 1 Methodology:
This is a multicenter, 1:1 randomized Phase IIb study of intradermal autologous Vigil immunotherapy (1.0 x 10e7 cells/injection; minimum of 4 to a maximum of 12 administrations) versus gemcitabine / docetaxel in patients with metastatic Ewing's sarcoma Family of Tumors (ESFT) refractory or intolerant to at least 2 prior lines of chemotherapy. Patients undergoing a standard surgical procedure (e.g., tumor biopsy or palliative resection) may have tumor tissue harvested for manufacture of investigational product. Patients meeting eligibility criteria including manufacture of a minimum of 4 immunotherapy doses will be randomized to receive either (1) intradermal Vigil every 28 days for 4-12 administrations, or (2) gemcitabine 675 mg/m2 IV at 10 mg/m2/min D1 and D8 and docetaxel 75 mg/m2 IV D8 every 21 days. The primary trial objective is to determine the overall survival of patients treated with Vigil versus gemcitabine/docetaxel. Randomization may occur as early as vaccine is released (typically 3 - 4 weeks following tumor procurement) but no later than 8 weeks following tumor procurement. Randomization of patients will be stratified by Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 80% vs < 80%.
Patients will be managed in an outpatient setting. Hematologic function, liver enzymes, renal function and electrolytes will be monitored monthly. Blood for immune function analyses including IFNγ-ELISPOT analysis of cytotoxic T cell response to autologous tumor antigens will be collected at tissue procurement, baseline, and prior to product administration at Cycles 2, 4, end of treatment, and every 6 months thereafter.
Part 2 Methodology:
Based on the limited accrual to Part 1 of this study, Gradalis is opening Part 2 of this clinical protocol to assess the safety of Vigil immunotherapy in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide. Part 2 will be conducted at the same centers as Part 1, studying intradermal autologous Vigil cancer vaccine (1.0 x 10e7 cells/injection; minimum of 4 to a maximum of 12 administrations) in patients with metastatic Ewing's sarcoma Family of Tumors (ESFT) refractory or intolerant to at least 1 prior line of chemotherapy. Patients undergoing a standard surgical procedure (e.g., tumor biopsy or palliative resection) may have tumor tissue harvested for manufacture of investigational product. Patients meeting eligibility criteria including manufacture of a minimum of 4 immunotherapy doses of Vigil will be registered to receive: (i) oral temozolomide 100 mg/m2 daily (Days 1 - 5, total dose 500 mg/m2/cycle), (ii) irinotecan 50 mg/m2 daily (Days 1 - 5, total dose 250mg/m2/cycle), orally or irinotecan 20mg/m2 daily (Days 1 - 5, total dose 100mg/m2/cycle ), intravenously (iii) peg-filgrastim 100μg/kg (Day 6) subcutaneously (optional and may be administered at home), and (iv) Vigil 1.0 x 107 cells/injection, intradermally on Day 15 and every 3 weeks thereafter. One cycle = 21 days. Registration onto Part 2 may occur as early as one week but no later than 8 weeks following tumor procurement. Vigil is typically released approximately 3 weeks after the completion of the two-day manufacturing process.
Patients will be managed in an outpatient setting. Hematologic function, liver enzymes, renal function and electrolytes will be monitored. Blood for immune function analyses including IFNγ-ELISPOT analysis of cytotoxic T cell response to autologous tumor antigens will be collected at tissue procurement, post-procurement screening and prior to Day 15 Vigil administration at Cycles 2, 4, end of treatment, and every 6 months thereafter. Blood for ctDNA analysis will be collected prior to chemotherapy administration at baseline, Cycle 2 - Week 1 Day 1, Cycle 4 - Week 1 Day 1, and EOT.

- Adverse Events, Laboratory Assessments and Physical Examinations [ Time Frame: 36 weeks ]
To determine safety profile of Vigil immunotherapy in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide in patients with metastatic Ewing's sarcoma refractory or intolerant to at least 1 prior line of systemic chemotherapy.
• To determine safety profile of Vigil immunotherapy in combination with irinotecan and temozolimidetemozolomide in patients with metastatic Ewing's sarcoma refractory or intolerant to at least 1 prior line of systemic chemotherapy.
- γIFN ELISPOT conversion rate from Blood Collected [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To determine the IFNγ ELISPOT conversion rate of subjects treated with Vigil immunotherapy.
- Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the event of disease recurrence/progression or death due to any cause. To determine the progression free survival of subjects dosed with Vigil immunotherapy in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 1 year ]OS is defined as time from randomization to death or to the date of last follow-up. The date of last follow-up confirming survival will be used as the censoring date for subjects who are alive and/or do not have a known date of death. To determine the overall survival of subjects with relapsed or refractory Ewing's sarcoma who are IFNγ ELISPOT negative at baseline and are dosed with Vigil immunotherapy in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide.
- Objective Response Rate (RECIST 1.1) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To determine the objective response rate (RECIST 1.1) of subjects with metastatic Ewing's sarcoma refractory or intolerant to at least 1 prior line of systemic chemotherapy treated with Vigil immunotherapy.
