About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-label Phase I/II Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of the dHER2 Recombinant Protein Combined With Immunological Adjuvant AS15 in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Overexpressing HER2/Neu

Patients will receive a maximum of 18 injections of dHER2 vaccine in a treatment schedule that will last for up to about a year, and thereafter there will be a follow-up period of about one more year.

Read the detailed description

This Phase I/II study will be conducted according to a multicenter, open-label design. At least 20 patients will receive the vaccine as first-line and at least 20 as second-line treatment. The treatment will comprise a maximum of 18 injections of dHER2 vaccine. Follow-up phase: This will commence with the end-of-treatment examination, followed by examinations three months, six months and twelve months after the last study vaccination. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GSK Biologicals' 719125 in people with Neoplasms, Breast, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 14 sites in 5 countries.

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 22 inclusion and 29 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 27 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in France, Belgium, Italy, Colombia, Peru. 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 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.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Vaccine-related Grade 3 or 4 toxicity (other than skin toxicity and influenza-like symptoms) according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (time frame: During the study.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00140738, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Dec 2019.
