Gene Therapy in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Biological: adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12
Registration Number
NCT00849459
Lead Sponsor
Max Sung
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Placing the gene for interleukin-12 into breast cancer cells may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gene therapy in treating women with metastatic breast cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of intratumoral injection of adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12 gene in women with metastatic breast cancer.

* Determine the tumor response in patients treated with this regimen.

* Determine the immune response in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive a single dose of adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12 intratumorally via percutaneous needle placement under ultrasound guidance.

Blood and tumor tissue samples are collected periodically for immunological laboratory studies. Samples are analyzed for serum cytokine levels by ELISA; qualitative analysis of immune biomarkers by IHC staining; and immune cell biomarker analysis by FACS.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically.
