About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of Adenoviral Vector Delivery of the Human Interleukin-12 cDNA by Intratumoral Injection in Patents With Metastatic Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Placing the gene for interleukin-12 into breast cancer cells may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gene therapy in treating women with metastatic breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of intratumoral injection of adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12 gene in women with metastatic breast cancer.
  • Determine the tumor response in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the immune response in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive a single dose of adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12 intratumorally via percutaneous needle placement under ultrasound guidance.

Blood and tumor tissue samples are collected periodically for immunological laboratory studies. Samples are analyzed for serum cytokine levels by ELISA; qualitative analysis of immune biomarkers by IHC staining; and immune cell biomarker analysis by FACS.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12Biological

    The purified ADV-hIL12 is suspended in formulation buffer (10mM Tris, pH 7.5/

    1mM MgCl2/ 150mM NaCl/ 10% glycerol) and aliquoted into 1ml cryovials. The filled vials are stored at or below -60 degC.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12Experimentalstarting dose of ADV-hIL12 - 1 x 10 to the 10th power vp (virus particles) per patient, escalating in half-log increments up to 1 x 10 to the 13th power vp per patient, after which dose escalation will be at lower increments of 2 x 10 to the 13th power vp, to a maximum of 3.0 x 10 to the 13th power vp per patient.
Receives: Biological: adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum tolerated dose

    Serum antibodies (titer) to adenovirus

    Measured: up to 1 month

  2. Toxicity and safety

    adverse events as assessed by NCI CTCAE v3.0

    Measured: up to 2 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Tumor response progression)

    Sequential assessment of tumor on CT or MRI (complete response, partial response, stable disease, or disease)

    Measured: up to 2 months

  2. Immune response

    Serum IL12, and IFNγ levels. Serum antibodies (titer) to adenovirus.

    Measured: up to 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12 in people with Breast Cancer, run by Max Sung 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 11 Jan 2017. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum tolerated dose (time frame: up to 1 month). 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?
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 11 Jan 2017.
