Testing a Combination of Vaccines for Cancer Prevention in Lynch Syndrome

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the combination of trivalent adenovirus-5 (Tri-Ad5) vaccines and IL-15 superagonist N-803 reduces the incidence of colorectal neoplasms in patients with Lynch syndrome (LS).

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Participants with LS defined as one of the following:

- Mutation positive: MLH1, MSH2/EPCAM and MSH6 genotypes with prior history of >= 1
adenoma(s) and/or >= 1 advanced adenoma(s) and/or colon cancer(s) (but no active
cancer for 6 months) OR

- PMS2 genotype with prior history of colon cancer(s) (but no active cancer for 6
months)

- Participants must have at least part of the descending/sigmoid colon and/or rectum
intact

- Participants must be at least 6 months from any cancer-directed treatment (such as
surgical resection, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiation)

- Participants older than 18 years will be enrolled. Because the risk of LS related
cancers is very low in participants < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this
study

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 1 (Karnofsky 70%)

- Leukocytes >= 3,000/microliter

- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/microliter

- Platelets >= 100,000/microliter

- Total bilirubin within normal institutional limits

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase
[SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT])
=< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal

- Creatinine within normal institutional limits

- The effects of the Tri-Ad5 vaccines and N-803 on the developing human fetus at the
recommended therapeutic dose are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing
potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method
of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study
participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while
participating in this study, she should inform her study physician immediately

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

- Participants must be willing and able to space COVID vaccines at least 2 weeks prior
to and 2 weeks after receipt of study agent

Exclusion Criteria:

- History of organ allograft or other history of immunodeficiency

- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with CD4 count < 540, Hepatitis B virus
(HBV), or Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Subjects with laboratory evidence of
cleared HBV and HCV infection will be permitted. Poorly controlled HIV may prevent an
adequate immune response to the vaccine and will be an exclusion criterion

- Subjects requiring systemic treatment with corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily prednisone
equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 3 months of vaccination

- Participants may not be receiving any other investigational agents

- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to adenovirus-based vaccines and N-803

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, active autoimmune diseases, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable
angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that
would limit compliance with study requirements

- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because of the unknown effects of the
vaccine and N-803 on the fetus. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for AEs
in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with the vaccine plus N-803,
breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with the vaccine plus
N-803

- History of untreated thrombotic disorders

- Participants who experienced severe side effects or allergic reactions to previous
adenovirus-based vaccines (such as Johnson and Johnson COVID vaccine) will be excluded

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Eligibility last updated 12/15/22. Questions regarding updates should be directed to the study team contact.
