Brief Summary:
This is a multicenter, 1:1 randomized Phase III study of intradermal autologous Vigil immunotherapy (1.0 x 10e6 cells/injection; minimum of 4 to a maximum of 12 administrations) in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide in subjects with metastatic Ewing's sarcoma Family of Tumors (ESFT) refractory/intolerant or recurrent to 1 prior line of chemotherapy. Participants undergoing a standard surgical procedure (e.g., tumor biopsy or palliative resection) may have tumor tissue harvested for manufacture of the investigational product, Vigil.

Participants will be managed in an outpatient setting. Hematologic function, liver enzymes, renal function and electrolytes will be monitored. Blood for immune function analyses including IFNγ-ELISPOT analysis of cytotoxic T cell activation in response to autologous tumor antigens will be collected at tissue procurement, post-procurement screening and Day 1 (prior to chemotherapy administration) at Cycles 2, 4, and 6, end of treatment (EOT), 3 months after EOT, and every 6 months thereafter. Blood for ctDNA analysis will be collected at tissue procurement, prior to chemotherapy administration at baseline and on Day 1 prior to chemotherapy administration at Cycles 2, 3, 4, and 6, and EOT.

Experimental: Vigil + Irinotecan and Temozolomide
Group A Schedule: Temozolomide 100 mg/m2 daily, oral, Days 1 - 5, every 21 days Irinotecan 50 mg/m2 daily, oral, Days 1 - 5, every 21 days Vigil 1.0 x 10e6 cells/injection, intradermal, Day 15, every 21 days for a minimum of 4 administrations to a maximum of 12 administrations depending on quantity of Vigil manufactured from surgical specimens and so long as the patient is clinically stable and without disease progression. Subjects may receive repeat cycles of treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or other criterion is met for discontinuation from study. |
Biological: Vigil
Vigil is composed of autologous tumor cells harvested from the patient at the time of initial de-bulking surgery which are then transfected extracorporeally, with a plasmid encoding for the gene for GM-CSF, an immune-stimulatory cytokine, and a bifunctional, short hairpin RNA which specifically knocks down the expression of furin, the critical convertase responsible for production of the two TGβ isoforms.
Other Names:
Drug: Irinotecan Irinotecan injectable formulation will be obtained. This will be drawn up into oral syringes (1 cycle of 5 doses) and dispensed to the subject with instructions to refrigerate until administration. Irinotecan may be mixed with cranberry-grape juice immediately before administration to mask the bitter flavor and administered once daily on Days 1 through 5 of each 3-week cycle.
Other Names:
Drug: Temozolomide Temozolomide capsules may be opened and mixed in apple sauce or juice if unable to swallow whole capsules. Temozolomide is administered on Days 1 through 5 of each 3-week course and given at least 1 hour before Irinotecan.
Other Name: Temodar |

Active Comparator: Irinotecan and Temozolomide
Group B Schedule: Temozolomide 100 mg/m2 daily, oral, Days 1 - 5, every 21 days Irinotecan 50 mg/m2 daily, oral, Days 1 - 5, every 21 days Subjects may receive repeat cycles of treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or other criterion is met for discontinuation from study. Within 6 weeks of second relapse or progression, subjects randomized to Group B, will be allowed to cross-over to receive single agent Vigil every 21 days following End of Treatment assessments. Subjects who cross-over may receive up to 12 doses of Vigil depending upon the quantity of Vigil manufactured. Cross-over must occur within 2 years of End of Treatment assessments of Group B enrollment. |
Drug: Irinotecan
Irinotecan injectable formulation will be obtained. This will be drawn up into oral syringes (1 cycle of 5 doses) and dispensed to the subject with instructions to refrigerate until administration. Irinotecan may be mixed with cranberry-grape juice immediately before administration to mask the bitter flavor and administered once daily on Days 1 through 5 of each 3-week cycle.
Other Names:
Drug: Temozolomide Temozolomide capsules may be opened and mixed in apple sauce or juice if unable to swallow whole capsules. Temozolomide is administered on Days 1 through 5 of each 3-week course and given at least 1 hour before Irinotecan.
Other Name: Temodar |
Primary Outcome Measures :
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years ]Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the event of disease recurrence/progression or death due to any cause. PFS of subjects dosed with Vigil immunotherapy in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide vs. irinotecan and temozolomide will be compared.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years ]OS is defined as time from randomization to death or to the date of last follow-up. The date of last follow-up confirming survival will be used as the censoring date for subjects who are alive and/or do not have a known date of death. OS of subjects with relapsed or refractory Ewing's sarcoma dosed with Vigil immunotherapy in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide will be determined and compared.
- Radiological Tumor Assessment [ Time Frame: Through study completion and then follow up, approximately 2 years ]The objective response rate (RECIST 1.1) of patients with metastatic Ewing's sarcoma refractory or intolerant to 1 prior line of systemic chemotherapy treated with Vigil immunotherapy dosed with Vigil immunotherapy in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide will be compared.
- Vigil Manufacturing Success Rate [ Time Frame: From manufacturing start date until 4 weeks post manufacturing for each tissue procurement. ]Vigil Manufacturing Success Rate will be defined as passing cell number, cell viability, efficacy, and purity tests.
