Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have signed the informed consent form.
  • Patients who are eighteen years of age or over with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC in advanced stages IIIb or IV, not amenable to any attempt of curative chemo-radiotherapy and/or surgery.
  • Patients with measurable lesions, defined as those measurable at least in one dimension (refered to higher diameter) and with a diameter equal or higher 20 mm using conventional techniques (PET, CT scan, MRI, Rx) or equal or higher 10 mm using CT scan.
  • Patients who have finished their last cycle of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy not less than 4 weeks prior to randomization and not more than 8 weeks.
  • Female patients of reproductive potential must have negative pregnancy tests. Those female volunteers admitted to the study must be using a reliable means of contraception such as tubal ligation, oral contraceptive or IUD.
  • ECOG status 0 to 2.
  • Patients with normal organ and bone marrow function, as defined by the parameters in accordance to that provided by the normal lab reference range.
  • Patients with no evidence of objective disease progression, 1 month after finishing first line chemotherapy as per RECIST.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who are candidates for combined modality treatment.
  • Patients who are receiving immunosuppressive therapy including corticosteroids.
  • Patients who have received immunotherapy within the previous 3 months.
  • Patients who have participated in a clinical study within the previous 30 days.
  • Patients who may be allergic to any component of the vaccine.
  • Medical reasons considered by the investigators as disqualification from the study such as significant uncontrolled co-morbid disease or potential non-compliance with the protocol.
  • Patients bearing brain metastasis from the primary lung tumor.
  • Patients bearing a second primary tumor.
  • Patients showing progressive disease after finishing first line chemotherapy.
