Feasibility and Safety study of autologous dendritic cell immunotherapy (AGS-003-LNG) in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer.
Feasibility and Safety study of autologous dendritic cell immunotherapy (AGS-003-LNG) in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer tumor will be resected from the patient. RNA from the tumor will be amplified and subsequently electroporated into matured, autologous dendritic cells. The dendritic cells with tumor RNA will be dosed back to the patient. Study will investigate feasibility and safety.

Biological AGS-003-LNG

autologous dendritic cell immunotherapy

Drug Carboplatin

Carboplatin is an anticancer drug ("antineoplastic" or "cytotoxic") chemotherapy drug. Carboplatin is classified as an "alkylating agent."

  • Other names: Paraplatin

Drug Abraxane

Paclitaxel destroys cancer cells by preventing the normal breakdown of microtubules during cell division.

  • Other names: Protein-bound paclitaxel, nano-particle albumin-bound paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel

Drug Alimta

By inhibiting the formation of precursor purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, pemetrexed prevents the formation of DNA and RNA, which are required for the growth and survival of both normal cells and cancer cell

  • Other names: Pemetrexed

Drug Cisplatin

Binds to and causes crosslinking of DNA, which ultimately triggers apoptosis

  • Other names: Cisplatinum, platamin, neoplatin, cismaplat, cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II)

Drug Taxol

Mechanism of action involves interference with the normal breakdown of microtubules during cell division.

  • Other names: Paclitaxel

Radiation Radiation Therapy

Causes DNA strand breaks.

Sequential, no radiation Experimental

AGS-003-LNG initiated after completion of platinum doublet chemotherapy. AGS-003-LNG induction = 1 dose administered every 3 weeks for 5 doses. Booster doses will then be administered every 12 weeks. A dose of AGS-003-LNG consists of (1.2 x 10-7 Dendritic cells.) Platinum-doublet chemotherapy can be any of the following determined by PI Carboplatin/Abraxane: ABRAXANE is 100 mg/m2 i.v. over 30 minutes on Days 1, 8, & 15 of each 21-day cycle; carboplatin Area Under Curve (AUC) 6 (C&G) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle immediately after ABRAXANE. Carboplatin/Alimta ALIMTA is 500 mg/m2 i.v. on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle in combination with carboplatin AUC 6 (C&G) i.v. 30 minutes after ALIMTA. Cisplatin/Alimta ALIMTA is 500 mg/m2 i.v. on Day 1 of each 21-day with cisplatin 75 mg/m2 i.v., 30 minutes after ALIMTA. Carboplatin/Taxol TAXOL administered i.v. over 24 hrs at a dose of 135 mg/m2 followed by carboplatin, AUC 6 (C&G).

Concurrent, no radiation Experimental

AGS-003-LNG dosing initiated concurrently or subsequent to 3rd cycle of platinum doublet chemotherapy & radiation therapy. AGS-003-LNG induction = 1 dose administered every 3 wks for 5 doses. Booster doses will then be administered every 12 wks. A dose of AGS-003-LNG =1.2 x 10-7 Dendritic cells. Platinum-doublet chemotherapy can be any of the following determined by PI Carboplatin/Abraxane: ABRAXANE is 100 mg/m2 i.v. over 30 minutes on Days 1, 8, & 15 of each 21-day cycle; carboplatin AUC 6 (C&G) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle immediately after ABRAXANE. Carboplatin/Alimta ALIMTA is 500 mg/m2 i.v. on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle in combination with carboplatin AUC 6 (C&G) i.v. 30 minutes after ALIMTA. Cisplatin/Alimta ALIMTA is 500 mg/m2 i.v. on Day 1 of each 21-day with cisplatin 75 mg/m2 i.v., 30 minutes after ALIMTA. Carboplatin/Taxol TAXOL administered i.v. over 24 hrs at a dose of 135 mg/m2 followed by carboplatin, AUC 6 (C&G).

AGS-003-LNG dosing initiated concurrently during or subsequent to the 3rd cycle (3-week cycle) of platinum doublet chemotherapy & radiation therapy.
