Brief Summary:

Background:

Surgery is the primary treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is diagnosed in its earlier stages. But the tumors often return. Radiation and chemotherapy can improve survival in some people who have had surgery for NSCLC, but these treatments also cause serious side effects. A new approach, called immunotherapy, may be a better way to stop NSCLC tumors from coming back.

Objective:

To test a new treatment (H1299 lung cancer cell vaccine combined with the drug N-803) in people who received surgery for NSCLC.

Eligibility:

Adults aged 18 years or older with no sign of disease after surgery for NSCLC.

Design:

Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have tests of their heart and lung function. They will have imaging scans.

Study treatment will be given in 28-day cycles. Participants will visit the clinic on the first day of each cycle. They will receive 2 treatments at each visit:

The study vaccine is given as 2-4 small shots under the skin of the thigh or arm.

N-803 is given as a shot under the skin of the abdomen.

Treatment will continue for 6 cycles. Blood tests and imaging scans will be repeated throughout the study.

Participants will have a blood test 1 month after receiving the 6th vaccine. Some participants may then resume taking N-803; they may also receive 2 more vaccinations at 3 and 6 months after their previous treatment.

Follow-up visits will continue for up to 5 years.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Phase II Component: To assess the frequency of immunologic responses to purified CT-X and autosomal CT antigens in NSCLC participants following vaccinations with H1299 cancer cell lysate and Montanide ISA-51 VG adjuvant in combination with N-803 [ Time Frame: 1 month following first 6 vaccinations, and every 6 months during retreatment ]
    Analyses which investigate immunologic responses to a panel of CT antigens in vaccinated participants. Serologic response will be defined as new antibody reactivity to a CT antigen, increased titer of an existing antibody, or IgM-to-IgG class switch following vaccination. Cell Mediated response will be evaluated using Elispot or comparable assays.CT X antigen reactivity assessed by peripheral blood assays one month following the first six vaccinations, and every 6 months during retreatment.

  2. Phase I Component: To determine the safety of H1299 lung cancer cell lysate vaccines administered with Montanide (Registered Trademark) ISA-51 VG adjuvant and N-803 [ Time Frame: before each cycle, every 2 weeks between vaccines 1 & 2 (AE only), at each treatment evaluation, and at the safety visit ]
    Assessment of safety and tolerability of the lysate vaccine regimen (DL1 and/or DL-1) with N-803 as determined by the frequency and severity of adverse events: AEs assessed by laboratory evaluations (before each cycle, every 2 weeks between vaccines 1 & 2, at each treatment evaluation, and at the safety visit) and queries (before each cycle, at each treatment evaluation and at safety visit) from the start of study intervention through 30 days after the last dose of vaccine. Unsolicited AEs are assessed throughout the study including beyond safety visit.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. To determine disease-free survival (DFS) in lung cancer participants receiving adjuvant H1299 lung cancer cell lysate vaccines administered with Montanide (Registered Trademark) ISA-51 VG and N-803 [ Time Frame: every 12 weeks while on treatment, during follow up for every 3 months for 3 years then every 6 months for 2 years or disease progression, final DFS evaluation visit ]
    Overall Survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) determined from the on-study date until date of death, disease recurrence, loss of immune response, or last follow-up as appropriate using the Kaplan-Meier method. DFS by scans every 12 weeks while on treatment or continued treatment, and during follow up every 3 months for 3 years, every 6 months for another 2 years or through disease progression ending at time of final DFS evaluation for each participant at 5 years post enrollment.
