About this trial

This is an open label, non-randomized, 2-stage phase II, single arm study to determine the efficacy of New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1 (NY-ESO-1) peptide vaccine as a priming mechanism to prevent anti-PD1 resistance in patients with platinum-refractory stage III/IV ovarian cancer (OC).

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Be able and willing to provide written and signed informed consent prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations.

Women, 18 years or older, with stage III / IV platinum-refractory Ovarian Cancer (OC) (progressed on a platinum containing regimen within 6 months of therapy and adenocarcinoma histology) that can be evaluable by RECISTv1.1 criteria who progressed on standard treatment. Participants will be recruited irrespective of if they earlier received available FDA-approved therapies (including for participants with targetable mutations, such as BRCA mutations)

History/physical examination within 28 days prior to registration.

Imaging of target lesion(s) within 28 days prior to registration.

Disqualifiers

Subjects who have received prior therapy with regimens containing nivolumab or CTLA-4, PD-L1, PD-L2 or PD-1 antagonists or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T cell co-stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways.

Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of the investigational product or interpretation of subject safety or study results.

History of severe allergic reactions (i.e., Grade 4 allergy, anaphylactic reaction from which the subject did not recover within 6 hours of institution of supportive care) to any unknown allergens or any components of the study drug formulations.

Active or prior documented autoimmune disease (including inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, Wegener's granulomatosis) within the past 2 years. Subjects with childhood atopy or asthma, vitiligo, alopecia, Graves disease, Hashimoto disease, autoimmune diseases that will be consider stable by hormones /steroid replacement or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment (within the past 2 years) are not excluded.
