About
This partially randomized phase I/IIb trial studies the side effects vaccine therapy and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) inhibitor 4-amino-1,2,5-oxadizaole-3-carboximidamide (INCB024360) and to see how well they work in treating patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in remission. Vaccines made from gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. IDO1 inhibitor INCB024360 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vaccine therapy with IDO1 inhibitor INCB024360 may be an effective treatment for epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
Full description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the safety of fixed doses of the modified canarypox vector (ALVAC[2])-cancer/testis antigen 1B (NY-ESO-1) (M)/triad of costimulatory molecules (TRICOM) vaccine in combination with INCB024360 (IDO1 inhibitor INCB024360). (Phase I) II. To evaluate toxicity as defined by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. (Phase I) III. To determine the progression free survival (PFS) using standard imaging response (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1) criteria. (Phase IIb)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the effectiveness of INCB024360 on enhancing vaccine efficacy by assessing NY-ESO-1 specific cellular and humoral immunity in peripheral blood NY-ESO-1 specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells.
II. To determine the effectiveness of INCB024360 on enhancing vaccine efficacy by assessing NY-ESO-1 specific cellular and humoral immunity in peripheral blood NY-ESO-1 specific antibodies.
III. To determine the effectiveness of INCB024360 on enhancing vaccine efficacy by assessing NY-ESO-1 specific cellular and humoral immunity in peripheral blood frequency of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells.
IV. To determine the effectiveness of INCB024360 on enhancing vaccine efficacy by assessing NY-ESO-1 specific cellular and humoral immunity in pharmacokinetics (PK) of IDO in relation to T cell frequency and function in correlation with PFS.
OUTLINE: This is a Phase I study followed by a randomized Phase IIb study.
PHASE I: Patients receive ALVAC(2)-NY-ESO-1 (M)/TRICOM vaccine subcutaneously (SC) on day 1 and IDO1 inhibitor INCB024360 orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
PHASE IIb: Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 arms.
ARM A: Patients receive no treatment.
ARM B: Patients receive IDO1 inhibitor INCB024360 PO BID on days 1-28.
ARM C: Patients receive ALVAC(2)-NY-ESO-1 (M)/TRICOM vaccine SC on day 1 and IDO1 inhibitor INCB024360 PO BID on days 1-28.
ARM D: Patients receive ALVAC(2)-NY-ESO-1 (M)/TRICOM vaccine SC on day 1.
In all arms, treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 6 weeks; at 3, 6, and 12 months; and then annually for up to 15 years.

- Hematology and biochemistry laboratory results within the limits normally expected for the patient population, without evidence of major organ failure
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1,000/uL
- Platelet count (PLT) >= 75,000/uL
- Hemoglobin (Hgb) >= 8g/dL
- Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Serum aspartate aminotransferase (serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase [SGOT]/aspartate aminotransferase [AST]) or serum alanine aminotransferase (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]/alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) =< 3 x ULN
- Serum creatinine =< 2 x ULN
- Prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR) =< 1.5
- Have been informed of other treatment options

- The ability to swallow and retain oral medication
- Patients of child-bearing potential must agree to use acceptable contraceptive methods (e.g., double barrier) during treatment
- Patients may have received previous NY-ESO-1 vaccine therapy; patients who received maintenance paclitaxel or bevacizumab are eligible for enrollment provided they have discontinued therapy (at least 4 weeks for prior taxane) prior to randomization and recovered from toxicities to less than grade 2
Exclusion criteria
- Metastatic disease to the central nervous system for which other therapeutic options, including radiotherapy, may be available
- Other serious illnesses (e.g., serious infections requiring antibiotics, bleeding disorders)
- History of autoimmune disease (e.g. thyroiditis, lupus) except vitiligo
- Concomitant systemic treatment with corticosteroids, anti-histamine or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and other platelet inhibitory agents
- Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy within 4 weeks prior to first dosing of study drug (6 weeks for nitrosoureas); concomitant hormonal therapies for breast cancers are allowed

- Participation in any other clinical trial involving another investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to first dosing of study drug
- Known hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- Mental impairment that may compromise the ability to give informed consent and comply with the requirements of the study
- Lack of availability of a patient for immunological and clinical follow-up assessment
- Evidence of current drug or alcohol abuse or psychiatric impairment, which in the investigator's opinion will prevent completion of the protocol therapy or follow-up
- Pregnant or nursing female patients
- Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements
- Any condition which in the investigator's opinion deems the patient an unsuitable candidate to receive study drug (i.e., any significant medical illness or abnormal laboratory finding that would, in the investigator's judgement, increase the patient's risk by participating in this study)
