About this study

Official title: Adoptive Immunotherapy With Costimulated Tumor-Derived T Cells After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

RATIONALE: Biological therapy, such as cellular adoptive immunotherapy, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well cellular adoptive immunotherapy works in treating a patient who has undergone a donor stem cell transplant for breast cancer that has spread to the lung.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the antitumor response in a patient with persistent metastatic breast cancer after prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) treated with tumor-derived, ex vivo expanded and costimulated T-lymphocytes.

Secondary

  • Evaluate the immune function of tumor-derived T-lymphocytes and the biology of residual tumor cells present after allogeneic hematopoietic SCT.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.

The patient undergoes surgical resection of the accessible lesions from which T cells are isolated, costimulated, and expanded ex vivo to produce the tumor-derived T-lymphocytes (TDTL). Beginning at least 2 weeks after surgery, the patient receives TDTL IV every 4 weeks for up to 5 doses in the presence of disease progression (DP) AND in the absence of ≥ grade 2 graft-versus-host disease. The patient is assessed 4 weeks after every dose.

In case of stable disease, partial response, or complete response, the patient is followed without intervention until DP.

In case of DP after dose 1 or 2 of the TDTL, the patient receives dose 2 or 3 of the TDTL. In case of DP after dose 3 of the TDTL, the patient receives low-dose interleukin-2 subcutaneously (SC) daily for 3 days and dose 4 of the TDTL. In case of DP after dose 4 of the TDTL, the patient receives 1 course of chemoimmunotherapy for cytoreduction and immunomodulation comprising paclitaxel IV over 3 hours once and trastuzumab (Herceptin®) IV over 30-90 minutes once weekly for 3 weeks (the patient may receive gemcitabine hydrochloride, vinorelbine ditartrate, docetaxel, or capecitabine in combination with trastuzumab [Herceptin®] as chemoimmunotherapy at the discretion of the principal investigator); interleukin-2 SC daily for 3 days; and dose 5 of the TDTL. In case of DP after dose 5 of the TDTL, the patient may receive cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or FDA-approved biologic therapy and/or immunotherapy with donor lymphocyte infusions from the same donor used for the prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

The patient may undergo core biopsy of the left mediastinal nodule in case of tumor regression of the indexing lesion at anytime OR after receiving dose 5 of the TDTL.

After completion of study treatment, the patient is followed periodically for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: One patient will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing aldesleukin, therapeutic tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and trastuzumab in people with Breast Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2015. 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 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.

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 28 Apr 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
