Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. Donor lymphocytes may attack and destroy cancer cells. Read more about this study

About this study

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. Donor lymphocytes may attack and destroy cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy, peripheral stem cell transplantation, and donor lymphocyte infusion in treating women with stage IV breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the tumor response in women with stage IV breast cancer who achieve partial remission after a mini-conditioning regimen comprising fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT), and donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI). II. Determine the progression free survival in patients who achieve complete remission after this treatment regimen. III. Determine whether DLI exerts graft versus tumor effect in these patients. IV. Determine the acute and delayed toxicities of this regimen in these patients. V. Determine the rates of durable hematologic engraftment in patients treated with this regimen. VI. Determine the incidence and severity of acute and chronic graft versus host disease in patients treated with this regimen. VII. Determine the extent of chimerism in patients treated with this nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen. VIII. Determine the rate and quality of immune reconstitution in patients treated with this regimen. IX. Determine the event free and overall survival in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive salvage chemotherapy comprised of docetaxel IV over 1 hour and doxorubicin IV over several minutes on day 1. Treatment continues every 3 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning within 4-10 weeks after completion of salvage chemotherapy, patients achieving complete or partial remission or stable disease receive mini-conditioning comprised of fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -8 to -4 and cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -3 and -2. Patients then receive filgrastim (G-CSF) and sargramostim (GM-CSF) mobilized allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) IV on day 0. Beginning on day 120 after PBSC transplantation, eligible patients receive unmobilized donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) over 15-30 minutes. Treatment continues monthly for a total of 3 DLIs in the absence of grade III or IV graft versus host disease or marrow aplasia. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30-50 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing therapeutic allogeneic lymphocytes, cyclophosphamide and docetaxel in people with Breast Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site 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 10 Jun 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 phase mean?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tumor response in women with stage IV breast cancer who achieve PR after a mini-conditioning regimen comprising fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, followed by PBSCT and DLI. (time frame: Treatment continues every 3 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.). 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 10 Jun 2010.
