Outcomes and Timepoint

Section to complete information about primary and secondary outcomes including. It includes the metric or method of measurement used and, the time point for every outcome.

Primary outcome(s):

1. EGFR, KRAS, BRAF mutations and ALK, ROS1 and PD-L1 expression in paraffin biopsies ((EGF, KRAS, BRAF determined by Molecular Biology ; ALK, ROS1 y PD-L1 by Immunohistochemistry). Measurement time: At diagnosis of the disease 2. EGFR, KRAS, BRAF mutations in liquid biopsies (cfDNA) (determined by Molecular Biology). Measurement time: At diagnosis of the disease, day o and 6, 24 and, 36 months. 3. EGF gene polymorphism (Allele specific RT PCR technology). Measurement time: Before administration of cyclophosphamide (Day 0) 4. Genetic profile of the nasal epithelium (micorarray technology). Measurement time: At diagnosis of the disease, day 0, and 6, 24 and, 36 months. 5. Evaluation of cytokines and EGFR growth factors (concentrations of EGF, TGF alpha, IL8, IL4, IL-13 and other cytokines as well as antibodies vs EGF). Measurement time: Before administration of cyclophosphamide (Day 0) and the months 3 (5th immunization), 6, 12, 15, 18, 24, 30 and, 36. 6. EGF concentration and Antibody response vs EGF. (Ab concentrations vs EGF) Measurement time: Before administration of cyclophosphamide (Day 0) and the months 3 (5th immunization), 6, 12, 15, 18, 24, 30 and, 36. 7. Lymphocyte subpopulations in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC): (concentrations of naive T CD8 cells, effector T CD8 cells, naive T CD4 cells, effector T CD4 cells, Th17 cells, T regs cells, B CD19 + cells, T CD4 + cells, T CD8 + cells, T CD8 + CD28- cells, CD4 / CD8 index, other cells). Measurement time: Before administration of cyclophosphamide (Day 0) and 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and, 36 months. 8. Overall survival (Time from the recruitment date until to the date of death. In case of not being certain of the death of the patient, the time elapsed until the date on which the latest news of the patient is recorded in the clinical history will be collected). Measurement time: From recruitment until death or last contact 9. Progression-free survival (Time from the recruitment date until to the date of disease progression, or death from any cause). Measurement time: Every 3 months, during 3 years.

Key secondary outcomes:

1. Objective response: measured through imaging tests: Tomography, X ray, ultrasound. The response evaluation corresponding to the follow-up with the CIMAvax-EGF vaccine will be carried out taking into account the iRECIST and will be classified as: iCR (immune Complete response), iPR (immune Partial response), iSD (immune Stable disease), iCPD (immune confirmed progression) and iUPD (immune unconfirmed progression). Measurement time: after starting CIMAvax-EGF treatment and every 3 months, for a period of 3 years measured from the inclusion of the patient in the trial. 2. Toxicity. Evaluated through the appearance of adverse events Measurement time: from the start of treatment with CIMAvax-EGF and for a period of 3 years.
