IMP321 (Eftilagimod Alpha) as Adjunctive to a Standard Chemotherapy Paclitaxel Metastatic Breast Carcinoma

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Adenocarcinoma Breast Stage IV
Interventions
Biological: IMP321 (eftilagimod alpha)
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02614833
Lead Sponsor
Immutep S.A.S.
Brief Summary

The proposed Phase IIb clinical study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of the active immunotherapy IMP321 in combination (adjunctive) with paclitaxel chemotherapy in patients with hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer.

Detailed Description

This is a multicentre, placebo-controlled, double-blind, 1:1 randomised Phase IIb study in female hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer patients. The study comprises of two stages.

Stage 1 is the open-label, safety run-in stage consisting of cohort 1 and 2 to confirm the (RPTD) of IMP321 in combination with paclitaxel.

Stage 2 is placebo-controlled, double-blind randomisation stage, paclitaxel + IMP321 at the RPTD will be compared to paclitaxel + placebo.

GroupInterventionDescription
Paclitaxel + IMP321 at the RPTDIMP321 (eftilagimod alpha)The chemo-immunotherapy phase consists of 6 cycles of 4 weeks. Patient will receive weekly paclitaxel at Days 1, 8 and 15 with adjunctive treatment of study agent, either IMP321, on Days 2 and 16 of each 4-week cycle. After completion of the 6-cycle chemo-immunotherapy phase, responding or stable patients will receive study agent (IMP321) every 4 weeks during the maintenance phase for an additional period of up to 12 injections
Comparator: Paclitaxel + PlaceboPlaceboThe chemo-immunotherapy phase consists of 6 cycles of 4 weeks. Patient will receive weekly paclitaxel at Days 1, 8 and 15 with adjunctive treatment of study agent, placebo, on Days 2 and 16 of each 4-week cycle. After completion of the 6-cycle chemo-immunotherapy phase, responding or stable patients will receive study agent (placebo) every 4 weeks during the maintenance phase for an additional period of up to 12 injections
Paclitaxel + IMP321 at the RPTDPaclitaxelThe chemo-immunotherapy phase consists of 6 cycles of 4 weeks.
