Description:
This phase I trial studies the side effects of survivin long peptide vaccine and how it works
with the immune system in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to
other parts of the body (metastatic). Tumor cells make proteins that are not usually produced
by normal cells. The body sees these proteins as not belonging and sends white blood cells
called T cells to attack the tumor cells that contain these proteins. By vaccinating with
small pieces of these proteins called peptides, the immune system can be made to kill tumor
cells. Giving survivin long peptide vaccine to patients who have survivin expression in their
tumors may create an immune response in the blood that is directed against neuroendocrine
tumors.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess safety, tolerability and toxicity of SVN53-67/M57-KLH peptide vaccine (SurVaxM)
in emulsion with incomplete Freund's adjuvant (montanide ISA 51) and given subcutaneously
with sargramostim (granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF]) in combination
with a somatostatin analogue, octreotide acetate (Sandostatin LAR) in patients with survivin
positive metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine clinical benefit (including complete response, partial response and stable
disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version [v]1.1)
at 6 months, 9 months and 12 months from study entry.
II. To evaluate the immunogenicity of SurVaxM in NETs by measuring anti-survivin antibody
levels and anti-tumor T-cell responses in peripheral blood.
III. To determine time to progression (TTP) compared to prior to study entry, in patients
with metastatic NETs treated with SurVaxM.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore immune markers associated with clinical responses to SurVaxM in peripheral
blood of NETs patients.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive a SVN53-67/M57-KLH peptide vaccine in incomplete Freund's adjuvant
subcutaneously (SC) and sargramostim SC on day 0. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for up to 4
doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive
octreotide acetate intramuscularly (IM) on day 0. Cycles of octreotide acetate repeat every
28 days for 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients
who remain free of tumor progression at 6 months and do not develop any regimen-related
toxicity or serious adverse events will be eligible to receive additional doses of the
vaccine and sargramostim every 3 months, for up to 1 year from the start of treatment.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 3 months.

Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Incidence of adverse events of SVN53-67/M57-KLH peptide vaccine in combination with octreotide acetate in patients with neuroendocrine tumors |
Time Frame: | Up to 15 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Will be assessed with National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. Will consider a toxicity to be an adverse event that is possibly, probably or definitely related to treatment. The maximum grade of toxicity for each category of interest will be recorded for each patient and the summary results will be tabulated by category and grade. Will be quantified using the observed rates of the adverse events, serious adverse events (SAE) and regimen limiting toxicities. Toxicity rates will be described using upper 1-sided 95% Jeffreys binomial confidence intervals. |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Immunogenicity of SVN53-67/M57-KLH peptide vaccine |
Time Frame: | Baseline up to 15 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Survivin-specific CD8+ responses will be measured individually at baseline, 12 weeks and end of-study. These measures will be summarized by descriptive statistics (means, medians, quartiles, etc.). Confidence intervals will be constructed for the median and the mean. Exploratory graphical analysis will be used to discover associations among variables. |
