简要总结
This phase II trial is studying how well vaccine therapy works in treating patients receiving trastuzumab for HER2-positive stage IIIB- IV breast cancer. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To estimate the RFS in patients with HER2 positive locally advanced breast cancer vaccinated with a HER2 ICD peptide-based vaccine.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
-
To assess the safety of a HER2 ICD peptide-based vaccine administered concurrently with trastuzumab.
-
To determine the immunogenicity of the HER2 ICD peptide based vaccine when given within one year of initiating standard treatment which includes trastuzumab.
-
To determine the incidence of the development of T cell immunity specific for the HER2 ICD.
-
To determine the incidence of the development of intramolecular epitope spreading.
-
To determine the magnitude of the HER2 ICD specific CD4+ and CD8+ immune response generated with immunization.
-
To assess whether there is an association between RFS and the development of an immune response (HER2 specific T cell immunity and/or the development of intramolecular epitope spreading).

入选标准
- •Stage IIIB or Stage IIIC breast cancer who are within 1 year of diagnosis and initiating treatment with chemotherapy and trastuzumab; and are in complete remission
- •Stage IV breast cancer in first complete remission and defined as NED (no evidence of disease) or with stable bone only disease who are within 6 months of initiating maintenance trastuzumab
- •NED status should be documented by chest/abdominal CT, PET or PET/CT within the last 90 days
- •Bone only disease documented as stable or healed by PET, PET/CT, or MRI within the last 90 days; stable bone-only disease must be documented with bone scan performed within the last 6 months
- •HER2 overexpression by IHC of 2+ or 3+, in the primary tumor or metastasis or documented gene amplification by FISH analysis; if overexpression is 2+ by IHC, then patients must have HER2 gene amplification documented by FISH
- •Eligible subjects must have been treated to NED or stable bone only disease status with trastuzumab and/or chemotherapy and be off cytotoxic chemotherapy or immunosuppressive agents (e.g. systemic steroids) for at least 30 days prior to enrollment (concurrent hormonal therapy allowed; concurrent bisphosphonate therapy allowed)
- •Patients on trastuzumab should continue trastuzumab monotherapy per standard of care (the dosing and schedule of trastuzumab should follow standard guidelines as described below: trastuzumab 2mg/kg IV weekly or trastuzumab 6mg/kg IV every 3 weeks)
- •Subjects must have an ECOG Performance Status Score =< 1
- •Non-menopausal female subjects must agree to contraception for the remainder of their childbearing years
- •Male subjects must use an acceptable form of contraception throughout the course of the study
- •Hematocrit >= 30,000
- •Platelet count >= 100,000
- •WBC >= 3000/mcl
- •Stable creatinine =< 2.0 mg/dl or a creatinine clearance greater than 60 ml/min
- •Serum bilirubin < 1.5 mg/dl
- •SGOT < 2x ULN
- •Laboratory tests should be performed within 60 days of enrollment
- •Subjects must have recovered from major infections and/or surgical procedures and, in the opinion of the investigator, not have any significant active concurrent medical illnesses precluding protocol treatment
- •Patients on trastuzumab monotherapy must have adequate cardiac function as demonstrated by normal ejection fraction (EF) on MUGA scan or echocardiogram performed within last 6 months
排除标准
- •Subjects cannot be simultaneously enrolled in other treatment studies
- •Patients cannot be receiving any other concurrent immunomodulators besides trastuzumab
- •Any contraindication to receiving GM-CSF based vaccine products
- •Cardiac disease, specifically restrictive cardiomyopathy, unstable angina within the last 6 months prior to enrollment, New York Heart Association functional class III-IV heart failure on active treatment with normalized LVEF on therapy, and symptomatic pericardial effusion
- •Active autoimmune disease
- •Subjects can not have active immunodeficiency disorder, e.g. HIV
- •Cannot be pregnant or breast feeding
结局指标
主要结局
Relapse-free survival
时间窗: At 4 years
次要结局
- Immune response as assessed by HER2 specific T cell immunity and/or intramolecular epitope spreading(Baseline, midpoint in the immunization schedule (prior to the 4th vaccine), 1 month after the 6th and last immunization and at 4, 8 and 12 months after the end of vaccinations)
- Correlation of RFS to the generation of an immune response(Prior to the 4th vaccine, 1 month after the 6th and last immunization and at 4, 8 and 12 months after the end of vaccinations)
- Safety as assessed by NCI CTCAE version 3.0(Baseline and 1 month following last vaccination)
