Description:
In patients with locally advanced hormone receptor positive (HR+)/HER2- breast cancer,
neoadjuvant chemotherapy produces a pathologic complete response rate (pCR) of only 9-15%,
and late recurrences often occur despite neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Therefore, there is an
unmet clinical need to improve the outcomes of these patients. Tumor-associated macrophages
(TAM) infiltration leads to poor outcomes in breast cancer patients by promoting
angiogenesis, activating epithelial-mesenchymal transition, degrading the extracellular
matrix, and suppressing the anti-tumor immune response. Pre-clinical studies, as summarized
above, have shown that the breast cancer immune microenvironment may be reprogrammed by
targeting colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) to decrease TAM infiltration and increase CD8+
TIL infiltration, in order to foster antitumor immunity and improve response to therapy.
Here, the investigators propose a phase I dose-escalation study in patients with locally
advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer to determine the feasibility of adding MCS110, a CSF-1
inhibitor, to the standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen of dose-dense doxorubicin,
cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel. The investigators will also include a dose expansion
cohort for preliminary efficacy analysis and correlative studies. The investigators propose
that if they can decrease the TAM-induced immunosuppression and TAM-induced chemoresistance
observed in breast cancer patients, then the patients' own immune system could find and
destroy the dormant and resistant tumor cells, and combined with enhanced chemotherapy
efficacy, the investigators will see durable remissions and long term cures.

Dose Level 1:MCS110/Doxorubicin/Cyclophosphamide/Paclitaxel | Experimental | MCS110 will be administered intravenously over 60 minutes (up to 120 minutes permitted) on a 28-day cycle. The dose of MCS110 given will depend on the dose level to which a given patient is enrolled.
The standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen of dose-dense doxorubicin/ cyclophosphamide followed by weekly paclitaxel consists of:
doxorubicin 60 mg/m^2 IV Q2W during Weeks 1 through 8 (total of 4 doses)

Maximum Eligible Age: | N/A |
Minimum Eligible Age: | 18 Years |
Eligible Gender: | All |
Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of regimen |
Time Frame: | Completion of cycle 1 (28 days) for all patients |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose level at which <1 patients of a cohort (of 3 to 6 patients) experience dose-limiting toxicity during the first cycle.
A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value of CTCAE Grade ≥ 3 assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first cycle of treatment with the combination treatment and meets any of the criteria outlined. |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Safety and tolerability of regimen as measured by grade and number of adverse events experienced per participant |
Time Frame: | 30 days after completion of treatment (approximately 24 weeks) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | -The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be utilized for all toxicity reporting. |
Measure: | Pathologic complete response-rate (pCR) |
Time Frame: | At the time of surgery (approximately 20 weeks) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | -Pathologic complete response (pCR) is defined as no histology evidence of invasive tumor cells in the surgical breast specimen and sentinel or axillary lymph nodes. All eligible patients who have completed neoadjuvant therapy and have subsequently undergone surgery are included in the analysis of pCR. |
Measure: | Residual invasive tumor size (RITS) |
Time Frame: | At the time of surgery (approximately 20 weeks) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | -Residual invasive tumor size (RITS) is histopathologically assessed by the largest dimension of the dominant invasive tumor focus from the surgical specimen. In cases in which there was no residual invasive tumor, the RITS will be 0 mm. In cases in which multifocal pathology is present, the largest dimension of the residual invasive tumor focus will be recorded. |
Measure: | Number of positive axillary lymph nodes |
Time Frame: | At the time of surgery (approximately 20 weeks) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | -Number of positive axillary lymph nodes is defined as number of resected lymph nodes with axillary nodal micrometastases (>0.2-<2 mm) or overt metastases (⩾2 mm). |
