Pilot Study of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) in Combination With Vigil in Advanced Women's Cancers
In this study, the researchers want to learn more about Vigil and durvalumab in advanced
women's cancers: 1) how much of Vigil in combination with durvalumab (MEDI4736) can be given
with an acceptable level of side effects, 2) the effects of Vigil and durvalumab in
combination (good and bad), 3) if Vigil will cause changes in cancer cells that may help
durvalumab attack the cancer, and 4) whether or not Vigil and durvalumab will slow your
cancer or stop your cancer from getting worse.
Combining Vigil with durvalumab will allow the former to induce (or increase) the
infiltration of activated T cells into tumors, and in addition, to enhance PD-L1 (programmed
cell death ligand 1) expression. Consequently, the response rate of historically low or
un-responsive cancer will be increased with the combination of Vigil and anti PD-L1.

un-responsive cancer will be increased with the combination of Vigil and anti PD-L1.
This is an open label pilot study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the
combination of Vigil autologous tumor cell immunotherapy and durvalumab PD-L1 inhibitor in
patients with locally advanced or metastatic women's cancers, inclusive, but not limited to
breast, ovarian, cervical, uterine, fallopian, primary peritoneal, and endometrial regardless
of the number of prior therapies.
This will be a 2-part study. The first part will be a safety run-in comprised of 2 cohorts
that will use a 3 + 3 design to determine the Vigil dose in Part 2. Patients in Cohort 1 will
receive a low dose of Vigil (1x10^6 cells/intradermal (ID) injection) in combination with
durvalumab (1500 mg (if > 30 kg) IV over 60 minutes) every 4 weeks. Patients in Cohort 2 will
receive Vigil at 1x10^7 cells/ID injection and durvalumab (1500mg (if > 30 kg) IV over 60
minutes) every 4 weeks. If needed, patients in Cohort -1 will receive Vigil at 1x10^5
cells/ID injection and durvalumab (1500mg (if > 30 kg) IV over 60 minutes) every 4 weeks. The
enrollment of the first two patients in each Cohort of Part 1 will be staggered by 2 weeks.
In Part 2 of the study, patients meeting study eligibility criteria will receive Vigil at the
dose determined in Part 1 and durvalumab (1500mg (if > 30 kg) IV over 60 minutes) every 4
weeks. As of March 13, 2018, Part 2 of the study will not be initiated due to limited
enrollment. Currently only patients who have Vigil immunotherapy available from Gradalis
protocol CL-PTL-119 may be considered for the study.
Radiological assessment of tumor response or alternative assessments of disease status should
be performed at screening, Cycle 3 and every 2 cycle thereafter, and end of treatment (EOT)
using RECIST 1.1 and investigator assessment as applicable. Tumor biopsy for correlative
studies including but not limited to scoring of tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) and PD-1
/ PD-L1 expression analysis should be obtained at tissue procurement and at Cycle 3, and
optional biopsies thereafter if the patient has accessible tissue. Peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (PBMC) for correlative studies should be obtained at pre-procurement if
applicable, and prior to study regimen administration at Cycle 1, Cycle 3, Cycle 5 and EOT.
Patient survival will be followed for 1 year after last dose of either Vigil or durvalumab.
