9This study is to determine maximum tolerable dose (MTD) of GX 188E by defining the safety profile the safety and maximum tolerated dose of GX-188E administered by electroporation in Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia grade 3 (CIN 3) patients.
This study is an open-label, dose-escalation, single-center, phase I study to evaluate the safety of GX-188E, a DNA-based therapeutic vaccine, administered by electroporation (EP) in patients with HPV-16 or HPV-18 associated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN 3).
Each subject eligible to participate in the trial is given a subject number, which is assigned sequentially in ascending order, then allocated to only a single dose level of the drug. Three subjects are allocated at each dose level starting with 1mg whereby the dose is escalated in sequential subjects in ascending numerical order of subject ID.
Each subject visit the site three times for administration during the study and is given an intramuscular injection of GX-188E at a dose of 1mg, 2mg or 4mg by electroporation at each visit
The subjects conduct the follow-up visits twice, which are 8 weeks and 24 weeks after the third injection of GX-188E respectively.
Patients will be assigned to three dose groups:1mg, 2mg, and 4mg. Each patient will be administered GX-188E by electroporation in entire study period. The Maximum Tolerated Dose of GX-188E will be determined by the classical 3+3 dose escalation schedule. The number of patients will be ranged from 9 to 18.
Inclusion Criteria: Female aged between 20 and 50(inclusive). Those who promised not to get pregnant from initiation to the first follow-up visit Who has diagnosed with Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 3 by histopathologic examination and HPV type 16 or 18 detected Those who signed a voluntary written informed consent form for study participation. Exclusion Criteria: Pregnant or lactating women. Administration of immunosuppressant or immunomodulator within 6 months prior to the enrollment Concomitant medication of any corticosteroid agents within 4 weeks prior to vaccination with the test drug Prior immunotherapy against HPV Administration of any blood products within 3 months prior to the screening visit Administration of any vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the screening visit (ex. Hepatitis A vaccine, Hepatitis B vaccine, Influenza vaccine, Td etc.) Positive serum test results for hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B virus surface antigen(HBsAg), or HIV Prior participation in any clinical trial within 30 days prior to the screening visit Patients predisposed to inflammatory reaction due to use of medical devices such as electroporation within 30 days of screening visit Past history of epilepsy or convulsion within 2 years prior to the screening visit At the discretion of the investigator, the skin condition covering deltoid muscles, within 2cm of the intended sites of injection, is not suitable for injection due to infection, ulcer, edema, tattoo, scar, injury etc. The thickness of skin fold covering deltoid muscles, intended injection sites, >40mm Any orthopedic artificial implant around the intended sites of electroporation (deltoid muscles) Any history of severe adverse drug events or severe allergic diseases Sinus bradycardia whose resting heart rate < 50beats/min. Pre-excitation syndrome such as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome Artificial implants or metallic implants Abnormal electrocardiography (ECG) including arrhythmia Any other ineligible condition at the discretion of the investigator that would be ineligible to participate the study
