About this study

Official title: A Combined Phase i/II Efficacy Study of a Carbohydrate Mimotope-based Vaccine With MONTANIDE™ ISA 51 VG STERILE Combined With Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new investigational cancer vaccine, P10s-PADRE in combination with standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery in patients with clinical stage I, II or III triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). This study will compare the vaccine plus standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery alone.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an investigational agent, P10s-PADRE, a peptide mimotope-based vaccine, in combination with standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with clinical stage I, II or III estrogen-receptor (ER) negative, progesterone receptor (PR) negative and HER2-negative (= triple negative - TN) breast cancer. P10s-PADRE will be administered with MONTANIDE™ ISA 51 VG as adjuvant. Human breast cancers that express Tumor Associated Carbohydrate Antigens (TACAs) can be immunogenic, and enhancing the anti-TACA antibodies and immune effector function already present may augment the cytotoxic effects of standard therapies.

A randomized two-arm, open-label, multi-center phase I/II trial is designed with the goal being to evaluate the efficacy of combining vaccination of the P10s-PADRE formulation with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to standard chemotherapy plus P10s-PADRE or to standard chemotherapy alone. Efficacy will be based on the rate of pathologic Complete Response (pCR) observed among TN breast-cancer patients treated with the combination as compared with the group of patients who receive standard chemotherapy alone.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and Tolerability Adverse Events

    A Safety/Tolerability Event is defined as the occurrence of one of the following:

    • A Serious Adverse Event, OR
    • A non-Serious Adverse Event of Grade = 3, 4, or 5, OR
    • A non-Serious Adverse Event of Grade = 2 whose Relationship to P10s-PADRE Vaccine was classified as Definite, Probable, or Possible

    Measured: From the start of treatment to the time of definitive surgery (4-8 weeks after chemo); from Week 0 to Week 20-23

  2. Pathologic Complete Response (pCR)

    A tumor-response call of either ypT0N0 or ypTisN0 determined through surgical staging after neoadjuvant therapy. The staging system used to determine the tumor-response call is the AJCC Staging System described in a 2014 FDA Guidance for Industry.

    • A tumor-response call of "pyT0N0" is also equated with pCR in the published literature.

    Measured: During and/or Immediately After Surgery

  3. Pathological Tumor Size

    Tumor size at surgery/pathology report

    Measured: Surgery

  4. Pathological Node Status: Number of Positive Lymph Nodes

    Number of positive lymph nodes found out of dissected lymph nodes

    Measured: Surgery

  5. Pathological Node Status: Number of Dissected Lymph Nodes

    Number of dissected lymph nodes at surgery for study participants

    Measured: Surgery

  6. Tumor Response

    Participants had their tumors surgically removed and pathologically staged using the AJCC Staging criteria. The main method of pathologic staging for breast cancer is the TNM system which stands for (Tumor size, lymph Node status and Metastases). "yp" prior to TN means the tissue was staged after neoadjuvant therapy. The larger the number after "T" means the larger the size, and the larger the number after "N" means the number of affected nearby lymph nodes. Therefore, tumor gradings with T3Nx are worse than those with T0Nx. The two categories "pyT0N0" and "ypT0N0" are both considered to be synonymous with pCR in the published literature.

    Measured: Surgery

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Fold Increase in P10s-MAP-Reactive Immunoglobulin Titers

    The anti-P10s binding level was measured via ELISA method after incubation with a subject's serum samples. The endpoint titer was determined for each serum sample, and then fold change in endpoint titer in post-treatment weeks compared to pre-treatment week (Week 1) were calculated.

    Measured: Weeks 7, 10, 15, 18, 23, 46, and 70

  2. Frequencies of NK Cells - CD16

    Using flow cytometry, the frequencies of NK cells were determined for samples collected from multiple timepoints from Week 1 to Week 70. Values were averaged for the percent of CD16+NK cells.

    Measured: Week 1, 7, 10, 15, 18, 23, 46, 70

  3. Frequencies of NK Cells - CD69

  8. Frequencies of Cells - CD69+/CD3+

    Using flow cytometry, the frequencies of CD69+/CD3+ cells were determined for samples collected from multiple timepoints from Week 1 to Week 70. Values were averaged for the percent of CD69 T cells.

    Measured: Weeks 1, 7, 10, 15, 18, 23, 46, and 70

  9. Frequencies of Circulating Regulatory T Cells (Tregs)

    Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from samples collected from multiple timepoints from Week 1 to Week 46. Using flow cytometry, the frequencies of Tregs (CD4, CD25 and CD127) were analyzed for separately, and then summed. The units are reported in CD4+CD25+CD127 low/- percentage because CD127 is a recently discovered antigen associated with Tregs that is weakly expressed on Tregs, while the self-activated memory T cell CD127 is strongly expressed; therefore, CD4+CD25+CD127 low/- is used to represent Tregs now.

    Measured: Weeks 1, 7, 10, 15, 18, 23, 46, and 70

  10. Activation Profiles of NK Cells: CD16

A Phase 1/2 study testing P10s-PADRE with MONTANIDE™ ISA 51 VG, Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide in people with Triple Negative Breast Cancer and Breast Neoplasms, run by University of Arkansas at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Jul 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and Tolerability Adverse Events (time frame: From the start of treatment to the time of definitive surgery (4-8 weeks after chemo); from Week 0 to Week 20-23). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Nov 2024.
