Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects of vaccine therapy with or without polysaccharide-K and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage IV human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer who are receiving HER2-targeted monoclonal antibody therapy. Vaccines made from HER2 intracellular domain (ICD) peptide may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express HER2. Polysaccharide-K may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. It is not yet known whether vaccine therapy works better when given with or without polysaccharide-K in treating breast cancer.


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the safety of polysaccharide-K (PSK) when given with HER2-directed immunotherapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the effect of PSK on natural killer (NK) cell functional activity when given with HER2-directed immunotherapy. TERTIARY OBJECTIVES: I. To investigate the effect of PSK when given with HER2-directed immunotherapy on: serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine and/or chemokines; intermolecular epitope spreading; serum transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta levels; progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. ARM I: Patients receive HER2 ICD peptide-based vaccine intradermally (ID) once monthly for 3 months, trastuzumab (or trastuzumab and pertuzumab) per standard of care, and placebo orally (PO) twice daily (BID) for 4 months. ARM II: Patients receive HER2 ICD peptide-based vaccine ID and trastuzumab (or trastuzumab and pertuzumab) as in Arm I and polysaccharide-K PO BID for 4 months. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 9 months and then twice annually for 3 years. ;
