E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
- Frequency and severity of adverse events and serious adverse events. The NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (CTCAE) will be used.
Changes in laboratory values, vital signs and ECOG performance status will also be assessed.
- Number of T-cell responses including time to T-cell responses (up to 6 months), level of response and duration of response.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
- Safety profile will be evaluated at each visit. Patient will come during week 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, every 4 weeks until week 26 and every 3 months during any additionnal vaccination period. FU will be done at 3 months post vaccination.
-T cell response will be measured at baseline, during vaccination (every 4 weeks starting at week 2), end of treatment and at the end of the 3 months follow up period. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- Tumor response and progression free survival (PFS). RECIST version 1.1 will be used.
- Safety profile and immunological responses of each dose level. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
-Tumor response and PFS will be evaluated by regular physical examination and CT-scan every 3 months during vaccination period and at the 3 month FU visit.
-Safety profile and immunological responses of each dose level will be evaluated when patients have completed 6 months of vaccinations and have been followed up for at least a further 3 months. Additionnal evaluation will be done when patients have completed the remaining vaccination period and have been followed up for a further 3 months. |

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
Main statistical analysis is planned at LPLV of the 6 months vaccination period + 3 months FU. This will provide sufficient information on the safety profile and immune responses to allow for a dose to be selected. Clinical Study Report will be prepared with these data.
A further analysis of additional data from patients who enter the additional vaccinations phase will be completed at LPLV of the 2 years vaccination period + 3 months FU. These results will be included as an addendum to CSR.
