Biological Therapy in Treating Women With Stage IV Breast Cancer

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Biological therapies use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Combining different types of biological therapies may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining different biological therapies in treating women who have stage IV breast cancer.

Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of armed activated T cells given in combination with interleukin-2 and sargramostim (GM-CSF) in women with stage IV breast cancer.

- Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the clinical response and overall and progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of armed activated T cells.

Patients undergo peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) collection. The PBMCs are treated ex vivo with monoclonal antibody OKT3 to form armed activated T cells (ATC). The armed ATC are expanded for 14 days in interleukin-2 (IL-2).

Patients receive armed ATC IV over 30 minutes twice weekly for 4 weeks. Patients also receive IL-2 subcutaneously (SC) once daily and sargramostim (GM-CSF) SC twice weekly beginning 3 days before the first infusion of armed ATC and continuing until 7 days after the last infusion of armed ATC.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of armed ATC until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, additional patients are treated at that dose.

Patients are followed at 1, 2, and 5 months and then every 6 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-30 patients will be accrued for the phase I portion of this study and a total of 18-33 patients will be accrued for the phase II portion of this study within 4-6 years.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS STUDY WAS INTENDED TO BE A PHASE I/II STUDY, BUT NEVER MOVED FORWARD TO PHASE II. (4-22-09) ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
