Vaccine to Prevent Recurrence in Patients With HER-2 Positive Breast Cancer

NCT03384914

Description:

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of each study vaccine and to evaluate the effect on the time to disease recurrence (assessed by disease free survival). Participants will be assigned to receive one of two study vaccines (DC1 study vaccine vs. WOKVAC). The study vaccine will be administered in two phases: a study vaccination phase and a booster phase.

Purpose

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of each study vaccine and to evaluate the effect on the time to disease recurrence (assessed by disease free survival). Participants will be assigned to receive one of two study vaccines (DC1 study vaccine vs. WOKVAC). The study vaccine will be administered in two phases: a study vaccination phase and a booster phase.

Detailed Description

      The total duration of the study will be 6 years (4 years of patient enrollment and 2
      additional years of clinical follow-up). Assessment for disease recurrence and survival will
      be conducted every 6 months (with a phone call/secure email, medical records or follow up
      visit) from the end of treatment for a total of 2 years, until the completion of the trial or
      until documented disease recurrence.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Clinical stage I-III HER2 positive breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy
             including HER-2 directed treatment for at least 12 weeks.

          -  Residual invasive carcinoma in the breast or axillary nodes in the final pathology
             from resected tumor following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

          -  Completed last cycle of cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation > 30 days with resolution
             of all acute toxic effects of prior therapy to grade ≤ 2 (except alopecia)

          -  Currently on HER-2 targeted therapy (eg; trastuzumab +/- pertuzumab or adotrastuzumab
             emtansine (T-DM1) per standard of care) or has completed HER-2 targeted therapy less
             than 6 months ago

          -  Age ≥ 18 years.

          -  Eastern Cooperative Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1.

          -  Must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below within 30 days of start of
             treatment:

               -  Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/ μL

               -  Platelets ≥ 75,000/ μL

               -  Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), except
                  patients with Gilbert's syndrome in whom total bilirubin must be <3.0 mg/dL

               -  AST/ALT ≤ 3 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)

               -  Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)

               -  Hemoglobin A1C <6.5%

          -  Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) above institutional lower limit of normal
             (by echocardiogram or MUGA scan within 90 days of registration).

          -  Females of child-bearing potential must agree to use dual methods of contraception and
             have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening, and males must use an effective
             barrier method of contraception if sexually active with a female of child-bearing
             potential. For both male and female participants, effective methods of contraception
             must be used throughout the study and for three months following the last dose.

             prior to initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures.

        Exclusion Criteria:

             infection, congenital prolonged QT syndrome, symptomatic congestive heart failure,
             unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations
             that would limit compliance with study requirements.

          -  Uncontrolled autoimmune disease requiring active systemic treatment.

          -  Known hypersensitivity reaction to the Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating
             factor (GM-CSF) adjuvant; any known contraindication to GM-CSF.

          -  Major surgery within 4 weeks of initiation of study drug.

          -  Current use of immunosuppressive agents or systemic corticosteroids. Topical, ocular,
             intra-articular, intranasal, inhalational corticosteroids (with minimal systemic
             absorption) are allowed. Patients who have received systemic corticosteroids ≤ 30days
             prior to starting study drug will be excluded.

          -  Potential participant is currently enrolled in any other clinical protocol or
             investigational trial that involves administration of experimental therapy and/or
             therapeutic devices, or investigational drug.

Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Immunogenicity
Time Frame:Up to 7 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The primary immunogenicity outcome for both arms of this trial will be the summation of spots (ELISPOT) for 6 distinct peptides and reported as total SFC/10^6 cells. A value >150 defines an immune response.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Disease-free Survival (DFS)
Time Frame:Up to 7 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Clinical activity is characterized by disease-free survival (DFS), defined as the time from start of treatment to documented recurrence (any breast event), death due to any cause or last patient contact that documents recurrence-free status (i.e., a clinic or scan date).
