SAKK 11/16 – Personalized and cell-based anticancer vaccination with MVX-ONCO-1 in advanced squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region. An open-label, multicenter phase II study
Résumé de l'étude
We aim to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the immunotherapy (MVX-ONCO-1) in patients with advanced squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region. The immunotherapy consists of an injection of killed patient-derived tumor cells and two capsules containing genetically modified cells, which will be implanted under the skin for one week. The patient's tumor cells are harvested and killed in a laboratory in Geneva, then processed into a vaccine. These are injected under the skin of the same study participant during treatment. His immune system will respond and produce antibodies against his tumor cells, which may help the immune system to attack and destroy his tumor. The genetically modified cells secrete helper substances that further stimulate the immune system. These cells are contained in a capsule to protect them and allow them to function longer. During treatment, two capsules are implanted under the skin of the participant.

Intervention étudiée
This study investigates the immunotherapy MVX-ONCO-1. It consists of killed patient-derived tumor cells and genetically modified cells. The tumor cells of the study participant are harvested and processed into a vaccine in a laboratory. The genetically modified cells are contained in a capsule.
The participant receives immunotherapies weekly for 4 weeks, plus 2 additional immunotherapies at 2-week intervals (a total of 6 immunotherapies within 9 weeks). An immunotherapy consists of a vaccination with his own cells and the implantation of two capsules containing genetically modified cells. The capsules are removed after one week.

all patients should have no other therapeutic option left.
- At least one line of prior anticancer therapy for recurrent or metastatic disease.
Patients with locally advanced disease experiencing local relapse within 6 months of
last dose of curative intended, platinum-based chemo-radiation with or without prior
surgery can also be included.
- Primary tumor and/or metastasis amenable for partial/total surgery or tap

to the corrected formula of Cockcroft-Gault
- Women with child-bearing potential are using effective contraception, are not pregnant
and agree not to become pregnant after pre-registration, during trial treatment and

the trial is required for all women with child-bearing potential
