About this trial

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the immunogenicity along with safety and toxicity as well as first efficacy of a DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion transcript-based peptide vaccine (Fusion-VAC-XS15) in patients with FL-HCC or other cancer entities carrying the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion transcript as adjuvant treatment

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Vaccination of Fusion-VAC-XS15

    Drug

    FusionVAC-22 peptide will be administered subcutaneously (s.c.) with the TLR1/2 ligand XS15 (50 µg) emulsified in Montanide ISA 51 VG (1:1). A total of three vaccinations are planned, 4 weeks apart from each other.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Efficacy of vaccination

Primary objectives of the planned trial are to assess immunogenicity in terms of induction of peptide specific T-cell responses

Time frame
until 28 days after third vaccination
2

Safety of the vaccination

Primary objective of the planned trial is to assess safety and toxicity of the peptide vaccine. The safety and toxicity of the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion transcript-based peptide vaccine is determined based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE V 5.0) and assessed in a descriptive manner.

Time frame
from first vaccination until 12 months after last vaccination

Secondary outcomes
