The progress of peptide vaccine clinical trials in gynecologic oncology.

ABSTRACT: Peptide vaccine are a type of immunotherapy that are synthesized according to the amino acid sequence of known or predicted tumor antigen epitopes. They are safe and well tolerated and have shown exciting results in gynecologic oncology. However, no peptide vaccine has yet been licensed in this field. This review examines peptide vaccine clinical trials in gynecology registered on ClinicalTrials.gov through January 1, 2022, analyzes the global progress and current achievements of peptide vaccines in gynecology, and explores the efforts focused on devising new methods to boost immunotherapeutic outcomes, including the use of adjuvants, multi-epitope vaccines, combinations of helper T cell epitopes, personalized peptide vaccines, synthetic long peptides, new peptide delivery, and combination therapy.

Project description:BackgroundClinical trial participation can improve overall survival and mitigate healthcare disparities for gynecologic cancer patients in low-volume community centers. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a centrally regulated but administratively decentralized electronic screening log system to identify eligible patients across a large catchment area for a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer center's open clinical trials.MethodsElectronic screening log data collected between 2014 and 2021 from ten community partner sites in a single NCI-designated cancer center's catchment area were reviewed retrospectively. Clinical factors assessed included cancer site, primary versus recurrent disease status, and histology. Identification efficiency (the ratio of patients screened identified with an available trial) was calculated. Identification inefficiencies (failures to identify patients with a potentially relevant trial) were assessed, and etiologies were characterized.ResultsAcross ten community partner sites, 492 gynecologic cancer patients were screened for seven open clinical trials during the study period. This included 170 (34.5 %) ovarian cancer patients, 156 (31.7 %) endometrial cancer patients, and 119 (24.2 %) cervical cancer patients. Over 40 % had advanced stage disease, and 10.6 % had recurrent disease. Only three patients were identified as having a relevant open trial; none ultimately enrolled due to not meeting trial eligibility criteria. An additional 2-52 patients were retrospectively found to have a relevant trial available despite not being identified as such within the electronic screening log system. Up to 14.4 % of patients had one or more missing minimum data elements that hindered full evaluation of clinical trial availability. Re-screening patients when new trials open may identify 12-15 additional patients per recurrent disease trial.ConclusionsAn electronic screening log system can increase awareness of gynecologic oncology clinical trials at a NCI-designated cancer center's community partner sites. However, it is inadequate as a single intervention to increase clinical trial enrollment. Providing adequate support staff, documenting clinical factors consistently, re-screening patients at relevant intervals, and coordinating with central study personnel may increase its utility.
