Clinical trial: IDH1 R132H peptide vaccine + avelumab (Germany)

A prior trial tested this vaccine (IDH1 R132H peptide vaccine) for gliomas with this IDH1 mutation.  The current trial is testing vaccine alone versus avelumab (PD-L1 inhibitor) alone versus combined vaccine + avelumab.

It is recruiting first recurrent gliomas of grade 2-4 with the IDH1 R132H mutation.

Open in Heidelberg and Mannheim Germany, and will also be open at several other centres in Germany.

  1. It seems oligodendrogliomas are excluded from this trial (1p/19q co-deletion). Anyone knows if there are any trial results of IDH1 peptide vaccines (without checkpoint inhibitor), I don't seem to find any?

    1. The only results I've seen are abstract ATIM-33 from the 2018 SNO conference:

      ATIM-33. NOA-16: A FIRST-IN-MAN MULTICENTER PHASE I CLINICAL TRIAL OF THE GERMAN NEUROONCOLOGY WORKING GROUP EVALUATING A MUTATION-SPECIFIC PEPTIDE VACCINE TARGETING IDH1R132H IN PATIENTS WITH NEWLY DIAGNOSED MALIGNANT ASTROCYTOMAS

      In preclinical studies we have defined IDH1R132H as a clonal neoantigen presented on MHC class II. A peptide vaccine encompassing IDH1R132H induces tumor-specific T helper cell responses effective in controlling syngeneic IDH1R132H-mutant tumors in humanized mouse models. NOA-16 (NCT02454634) is a first-in-man, multicenter, phase I trial testing the safety and immunogenicity of an IDH1R132H peptide in incomplete Freunds adjuvant in patients with newly diagnosed, IDH1R132H mutant WHO °III and °IV astrocytomas. Between September 2015 and October 2016, 32 patients were enrolled in seven German sites. 23 patients (71.9%) received radiochemotherapy with temozolomide, six patients (18.8%) received radiotherapy alone and three patients (9.4%) received temozolomide alone. 249 vaccines were administered, 29 (90.6%) of the patients of the safety set (N=32) and 27 (90.0%) patients of the immunogenicity set (N=30) received all eight vaccines. No regime-limiting toxicity was observed. The majority of the patients (N=29, 90.6%) experienced treatment related adverse events (trAE), 1 (3.1%) of them had treatment related SAE. None of the reported AEs were severe. 28/30 (93.3%) patients, who were evaluable for immunogenicity, displayed mutation-specific T cellular (24/30 (80%)) or humoral (26/30 patients (87%)) immune responses not detectable before vaccination. Until end of study no deaths were observed. 4/32 (12.5 %) patients had PD according to RANO criteria, all other patients (N=28, 87.5%) had SD. 12/32 (37.5%) patients displayed pseudoprogressions after the initiation of the vaccine. Single-cell T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing allowed for the identification of IDH1R132H-specific TCRs. In conclusion, NOA-16 met its primary endpoints by demonstrating safety and immunogenicity of a mutation-specific IDH1R132H peptide vaccine given with standard of care in patients with newly diagnosed IDH1R132H mutant malignant astrocytoma.
