研究概览
简要总结
The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of combining cyclin B1/WT-1/CEF (antigen)-loaded DC vaccination with preoperative chemotherapy.
The secondary objectives of this trial are to determine pathologic complete response rates; disease-free survival; to assess immune biomarkers of immunity (antigen-specific CD8+ T cell immunity and TH2 T cells) in breast cancer biopsy specimens and blood samples in patients receiving DC vaccinations; and to assess the feasibility of immunizing LA TNBC and ER+/HER2- BC patients with patient-specific tumor antigens.
详细描述
Recent studies have shown that human breast cancers can be immunogenic, and that enhancing the immune effector function already present may augment the cytotoxic effects of standard therapies.
vaccination remains the most attractive strategy because of its expected inducement of both therapeutic T cell immunity (effector T cells) and protective T cell immunity (tumor-specific memory T cells that can control tumor relapse). Several clinical studies have now demonstrated that immunity against tumor antigens can be enhanced in cancer patients by vaccination with ex vivo-generated tumor antigen-loaded dendritic cells (DCs). This strategy capitalizes on the unique capacity of DCs to prime lymphocytes and to regulate and maintain immune responses.
Our goals are to boost T cell immunity targeted against breast cancer utilizing a tumor antigen-loaded DC vaccine, to enhance chemotherapy effectiveness and decrease tumor metastagenicity, and to decrease the recurrence rates of LA TNBC and ER+/HER2- BC. Patients will be treated with a combination of antigen-loaded DC vaccinations along with standard preoperative chemotherapy, to improve immunogenicity and to increase the pCR rate achieved with standard therapy. The trial will consist of 2 patient cohorts: TNBC and ER+/HER2- BC.

- •Hemoglobin >9 g/dL (in the absence of red blood cell transfusion)
- •Adequate liver function, defined by:
- •AST and ALT ≤2.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN)
- •Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN
- •Adequate renal function, defined by:
- •a. Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN or calculated creatinine clearance of ≥60 ml/min
- •Patients with previous history of invasive cancers (including breast cancer) are eligible if definitive treatment was completed more than 5 years prior to initiating current study treatment, and there is no evidence of recurrent disease.
- •Eligible for treatment with paclitaxel, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide and carboplatine.
- •Patient must be accessible for treatment and follow-up.
- •Patients must be willing to undergo research biopsies to obtain breast cancer tissue for whole exome sequencing and evaluation of tumor immune microenvironment.
- •All patients must be able to understand the investigational nature of the study and give written informed consent prior to study entry.
排除标准
- •A patient will be ineligible for inclusion in this study any of the following criteria are met:
- •Evidence of metastatic disease on bone scan and CT scan of chest/abdomen (or PET CT scan). Patients with intrathoracic metastatic adenopathy are eligible.
- •Active infection or unexplained fever >38.5°C during screening.

结局指标
主要结局
Safety of DC Vaccine Combined With Chemotherapy
时间窗: 4 years
Toxicities will be graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03 . This will include all patients (eligible and ineligible) who receive at least 1 inoculation of DC vaccine therapy. This safety population will also be used for the summaries and analysis of all safety parameters (drug exposure, tables of adverse events information, including serious adverse events, etc.).
