  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer
  • 18 years of age or older
  • Her-2/neu positive (3+ by immunohistochemistry or fluorescence in-situ hybridization [FISH] +)
  • One of the following:
  • currently receiving hormonal therapy or are candidates for such, or
  • being considered for trastuzumab, or
  • cancer has progressed on trastuzumab.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant or lactating women.
  • Prior or concurrent malignancies except for treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ cancer of the cervix or any other cancer treated and presumed cured for more than five years prior to study entry.
  • Currently receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, adenoviral gene therapy or biological cancer therapy. [Note: concurrent hormonal therapy (tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, or megace) is permitted.]
  • Treatment with trastuzumab within 4 weeks prior to first dose of vaccine therapy.
  • Hemoglobin < 80 g/L or granulocytes < 1.5 × 10^9/L or lymphocytes < 1.0 × 10^9/L or platelets < 100 × 10^9/L.

  • CD4 cells < 0.5 ×10^9/L
  • Patients with documented brain metastases.
  • Patients with any acute illness that would interfere with the collection of CD34+ cells or administration of vaccination cellular therapy (i.e. unstable angina, renal or liver failure, or severe chronic obstructive airway disease).
  • Any patients requiring concurrent immunosuppressive therapy (e.g. corticosteroids).
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of > 2.
  • Patients with a life expectancy of less than 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AdHer-2/neu transduced dendritic cells in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Ontario Clinical Oncology Group (OCOG).

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 7 inclusion and 15 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 4 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

toxicity (time frame: weeks 4, 6, 7, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26). 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 4 Jun 2012.
