What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the best dose and side effects of a vaccine called VSV-hIFNβ-NIS, given alone or combined with cyclophosphamide and immunotherapy drugs ipilimumab, nivolumab, and cemiplimab. This phase I trial focuses on patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, or types of lymphoma. The vaccine is a modified virus designed to target cancer cells while protecting normal cells using interferon beta, and the study aims to find safe and effective treatment combinations for these blood cancers. Participants are assigned to different groups receiving various combinations of the vaccine and other drugs, such as cyclophosphamide intravenously or immunotherapy antibodies intravenously. Treatments are given mostly by intravenous infusion on specific days, with some oral medications taken over several days. Some groups are closed to new enrollment, while others continue with dose escalation or expansion. Patients undergo imaging scans like PET/CT and biopsies of tumors or bone marrow to monitor disease and treatment effects. Throughout the study, participants visit regularly for follow-up assessments, including blood tests, biopsies, and imaging to track viral spread, immune response, and treatment safety. Follow-up occurs on days 15 and 29, at 6 weeks, then every 3 months up to 1 year or until disease progression, followed by every 6 months until 2 years after enrollment. The main measurement is the frequency of serious side effects over two years, alongside tumor response, progression-free survival, and overall survival.

Your Study Journey

Screening

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks

Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.

1 visit (in-person)

Treatment

Duration - Up to 6 days of treatment drugs administration

Participants receive the VSV-hIFNβ-NIS vaccine intravenously on day 1, with additional drugs depending on their assigned group, including ruxolitinib, cyclophosphamide, ipilimumab, nivolumab, or cemiplimab. Treatment occurs in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants also undergo various biopsies and imaging scans during this period.

1 to 2 visits during treatment period depending on group assignment

Follow-up

Duration - Up to 2 years

Participants are followed up after treatment on days 15 and 29, at 6 weeks, then every 3 months until 1 year or until disease progression, whichever is longer, followed by every 6 months until 2 years after registration. During follow-up, participants undergo assessments to monitor safety, disease progression, and survival.

Multiple visits: days 15 and 29, 6 weeks, every 3 months up to 1 year, then every 6 months up to 2 years
