About this study

Official title: Autotransplantation and Her 2 Neu Antibody Immunotherapy in Advanced Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Chemotherapy uses different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy and peripheral stem cell transplantation followed by trastuzumab in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety and toxicity profile, specifically cardiac toxicity, of trastuzumab (Herceptin) following high dose chemotherapy and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in women with metastatic breast cancer. II. Determine the time to disease progression and disease free survival in these patients when treated with this regimen. III. Determine the impact of trastuzumab (Herceptin) on minimal residual disease after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation as evidenced by serial immunocytochemical analysis of bone marrow. IV. Determine the relationship between posttransplant reconstitution of antibody dependent cellular toxicity and the efficacy of trastuzumab (Herceptin) in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients undergo stem cell mobilization with growth factors alone (filgrastim (G-CSF) and/or sargramostim (GM-CSF)) or chemotherapy followed by growth factors (depending on center). Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are then collected by leukapheresis. Patients then receive high dose chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV over 72 hours on days -6 to -4 and carmustine IV on day -3 or cyclophosphamide IV, thiotepa IV, and carboplatin IV over 96 hours on days -7 to -4 (depending on center). PBSC are reinfused on day 0. Patients then receive trastuzumab IV over 30-90 minutes weekly for 1 year or until disease progression beginning 5-8 weeks after PBSC reinfusion.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 70 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing trastuzumab, carboplatin and carmustine in people with Breast Cancer, run by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center 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?

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2018. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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.

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 16 May 2018.
