Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of sequential adenovirus 5/F35-human guanylyl cyclase C-PADRE (Ad5.F35-hGCC-PADRE), delivered intramuscularly three times at three dose levels in subjects with high-risk colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, or esophageal adenocarcinomas with no...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of sequential adenovirus 5/F35-human guanylyl cyclase C-PADRE (Ad5.F35-hGCC-PADRE), delivered intramuscularly three times at three dose levels in subjects with high-risk colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, or esophageal adenocarcinomas with no evidence of disease (NED) after surgery and standard therapy. II. Evaluate the cellular (T-cell) responses to Ad5.F35-hGCC-PADRE at three different dose levels (10^11, 10^12, and 5 x 10^12 vp) administered intramuscularly three times, four weeks apart in subjects with high-risk colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, or esophageal cancer with NED after surgery and standard therapy. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the humoral immunologic response to guanylyl cyclase C (GCC), defined as an incremental or sustained antibody (pan-Ig) response, measured at weeks 5, 9, and 13 following the first vaccination (week 1). II. Evaluate the relationship between immunological responses to GCC and 1) neutralizing antibodies to Ad5 and Ad5.F35 and 2) GCC protein expression in tumors to assess immune tolerance. III. Evaluate disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), where feasible. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 arms. ARM A: Patients receive low dose Ad5.F35-hGCC-PADRE vaccine intramuscularly (IM) on day 1 of weeks 1, 5, and 9 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM B: Patients receive medium dose Ad5.F35-hGCC-PADRE vaccine IM on day 1 of weeks 1, 5, and 9 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM C: Patients receive high dose Ad5.F35-hGCC-PADRE vaccine IM on day 1 of weeks 1, 5, and 9 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 28 days, and then every 3 months for at least 24 months.
