BCG Modulation of the recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI Response in the Treatment of Non Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) Patients

February 3, 2015 updated by: Patrice Jichlinski

BCG Modulation of the recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI Response in the Treatment of Patients With Non Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

In this study, the investigators would like to assess how intravesical BCG schedules after immunization of non muscle invasive bladder patients with the recMAGE-A3 protein, together with adjuvant AS15 (recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI), may enhance innate and vaccine-specific T cell responses both systemically and locally in the bladder.

Study Overview

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

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Recording adverse events by assessment of vital signs, physical examination, haematology and blood chemistry to measure safety and tolerability
Time Frame: 6 months
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Flow cytometric analysis of type and number of immune cell types in urine
Time Frame: 6 months
6 months
Measurement of titers of antibodies against recMAGE-A3 in serum

Primary Completion (Actual)

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date.

The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
