Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer
- Conditions
- Breast Cancer
- Interventions
- Biological: rV-DF3/MUC1
- Registration Number
- NCT00003761
- Lead Sponsor
- Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
- Brief Summary
This protocol is designed to evaluate the side effects of rV-DF3/MUC1 and to determine the safest dose which should be used in the treatment of breast cancer.
- Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the toxicity associated with repeated vaccination with recombinant vaccinia DF3/MUC1 vaccine (rV-DF3/MUC1) in patients with metastatic breast cancer. II. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of rV-DF3/MUC1, based on cellular and humoral immunity, in these patients. III. Determine whether vaccination with rV-DF3/MUC1 is associated with antitumor activity in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is an open label, dose escalation study. Patients receive recombinant vaccinia DF3/MUC1 vaccine (rV-DF3/MUC1) intradermally. Treatment repeats every month for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of at least 6 patients receive escalating doses of rV-DF3/MUC1 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the highest dose level to be tested is reached. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity. Patients are followed monthly for 6 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 16-28 patients will be accrued for this study within 1-2 years.
