Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With HER2/Neu Positive or Negative

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from gene-modified tumor cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of tumor cells. Combining vaccine therapy with cyclophosphamide and interferon alfa may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining vaccine therapy with interferon alfa and cyclophosphamide in treating patients who have stage IV breast cancer.

Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of vaccine therapy comprising an allogeneic (non-self) tumor cell line transfected with the sargramostim (GM-CSF) gene combined with low-dose interferon alfa and low-dose cyclophosphamide in patients with stage IV breast cancer or other solid tumors.

- Determine the clinical response, time to progression, and survival of patients treated with this regimen.

- Correlate clinical response with immunological response in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive low-dose cyclophosphamide IV once 2-3 days before each tumor vaccine. Patients then receive tumor vaccine comprising HER2/neu-positive allogeneic (non-self) breast cancer cells transfected with the sargramostim (GM-CSF) gene intradermally (ID) on day 1. Patients also receive low-dose interferon alfa ID approximately 48 and 96 hours after each tumor vaccine. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for 3 vaccinations and then monthly for 3 vaccinations in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed at 2 weeks and then every 3 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 9-24 patients will be accrued for this study. ;

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.
