About this trial
This phase I trial studies the safety of personalized neo-antigen peptide vaccine in treating patients with stage IIIC-IV melanoma, hormone receptor positive HER2 negative breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) or stage III-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Personalized neo-antigen peptide vaccine is a product that combines multiple patient specific neo-antigens. Given personalized neo-antigen peptide vaccine together with Th1 polarizing adjuvant poly ICLC may induce a polyclonal, poly-epitope, cytolytic T cell immunity against the patient's tumor.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Female and/or male patients age >= 18 years
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1, or 2
Patients must have at least 1 lesion (or aggregate lesions) to obtain tumor tissue for resection of >= 1 cm or >= 4 core biopsies acceptable. Amenable to image (CT, ultrasound [U/S], or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) guided biopsy for tissue collection necessary for neoantigen identification. Either primary or metastatic sites are options for tissue collection
Measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria: Participants must have measurable disease, defined as at least one target lesion that can be measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as >= 10 mm, unless lymph node in which case short axis must be >= 15 mm. Baseline imaging (for example diagnostic CT chest/abdomen/pelvis, PET CT scan and imaging of the affected extremity as appropriate), brain imaging (MRI or CT scan) must be obtained within 45 days of prior to start of first planned vaccine dose infusion. MRI can be substituted for CT in patients unable to have CT contrast
Disqualifiers
Fertile male patients and female patients of childbearing potential who are unwilling or unable to use 2 highly effective methods of contraception as outlined in this protocol for the duration of the study and for at least 5 months after the last dose of investigational product
Any history of an immune-related grade 4 adverse event attributed to prior cancer immunotherapy CIT (other than endocrinopathy managed with replacement therapy or asymptomatic elevation of serum amylase or lipase)
Any history of an immune-related grade 3 adverse event attributed to prior CIT that required permanent discontinuation of PD-1 inhibitor therapy
Immune-related adverse events related to prior CIT (other than endocrinopathy managed with replacement therapy or stable vitiligo) that have not resolved to baseline. Patients treated with corticosteroids for immune-related adverse events must demonstrate absence of related symptoms or signs for >= 4 weeks following discontinuation of corticosteroids
