About this study

Official title: PRESENT: Prevention of Recurrence in Early-Stage, Node-Positive Breast Cancer With Low to Intermediate HER2 Expressions With NeuVax™Treatment

Purpose of this trial:

  1. To assess the efficacy and safety of NeuVax™ administered with adjuvant Leukine® (sargramostim, GM-CSF).
  2. To evaluate and compare the disease free survival (DFS) in the vaccinated and control subjects.
Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, multinational, prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled Phase 3 study.

The subjects eligible for this trial have an early stage node-positive breast cancer. Their tumors express low or intermediate levels of the HER2 protein. NeuVax™ will be administered after completion of front-line, standard of care therapy (surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy) and can be given concomitantly with physician prescribed endocrine treatment.

NeuVax™ is the immmunodominant nonapeptide derived from the extracellular domain of the HER2 protein, a well-established target for therapeutic intervention in breast carcinoma. The nelipepimut sequence stimulates specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) following binding to HLA-A2/A3 molecules on antigen presenting cells (APC). These activated specific CTLs recognize, neutralize and destroy through cell lysis HER2 expressing cancer cells, including occult cancer cells and micrometastatic foci. The nelipepimut immune response can also generate CTLs to other immunogenic peptides through inter- and intra-antigenic epitope spreading. Based on a successful Phase 2 trial, which achieved its primary endpoint of DFS, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted NeuVax a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) for its Phase 3 PRESENT (Prevention of Recurrence in Early-Stage, Node-Positive Breast Cancer with Low to Intermediate HER2 Expression with NeuVax Treatment) study.

The active portion of the study will last three years (36 months). The follow-up will last from 5 to 10 years.

Endpoints:

  1. Primary efficacy endpoint:
  • 3-year DFS
  1. Secondary efficacy endpoints:
  • 5- and 10-year DFS
  • 3-year OS
  • 5- and 10-year OS
  • Safety profile, and adverse events (AEs)
  • Patterns of recurrence to include Time to recurrence (TTR), time to local recurrence (TTLR), time to distant recurrence (TTDR), time to bone metastases (TTBM)

Safety Assessments:

Subjects will be assessed at every study visit for the safety endpoints, AEs,vital signs, physical examinations and laboratory data; yearly follow-up of survival will include imaging studies, ECGs, MUGA or ECHO scans and concomitant medications.

Being tested
NeuVax™ vaccine, Leukine® (sargramostim, GM-CSF) and water for injection

What participants receive

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

  • NeuVax™ vaccineBiological

    Also called E75 peptide acetate , WFI, sargramostim, GM-CSF

    E75 peptide acetate (HER2/neu p366-379) in WFI (1.5 mg/mL) mixed with 250 micrograms Leukine® (sargramostim, GM-CSF), will be administered in intradermal injections, in four divided doses (4 sites on upper thigh) once a month, for six consecutive months. At the end of the six months, NeuVax™ vaccine boosters will be given the same way once every six months for the next five times (totaling 36 months).

  • Leukine® (sargramostim, GM-CSF) and water for injectionBiological

    Also called Leukine®

    Leukine® 250 micrograms in water for injection, will be administered in intradermal injections, in four divided doses (4 sites on upper thigh) once a month, for six consecutive months. At the end of the six months, boosters inoculations will be given the same way once every six months for the next five times (totaling 36 months).

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of DFS in vaccine treated patients and control patients

    The primary objective is to compare the DFS in subjects with operable early-stage, node-positive breast cancer who receive standard of care multimodality therapy plus NeuVax™ as the treatment group or standard of care multimodality therapy plus the vaccine adjuvant, Leukine® as the control group.

    Measured: 36 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of DFS and OS at 3, 5 and 10 years in vaccine and control groups, respectively; assessment of safety

    The secondary objectives are to evaluate the 2 groups of subjects for:

    • 5- and 10-year DFS
    • 3-year OS
    • 5- and 10-year OS
    • Time to recurrence (TTR), time to local recurrence (TTLR), time to distant recurrence (TTDR), time to bone metastases (TTBM)
    • Overall safety profile and adverse events (AEs)

    Measured: 3 through 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing NeuVax™ vaccine and Leukine® (sargramostim, GM-CSF) and water for injection in people with Breast Cancer With Low to Intermediate HER2 Expression, run by Galena Biopharma, Inc. at 197 sites in 13 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 13 inclusion and 8 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 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 197 sites in United States, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, United Kingdom and 8 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Comparison of DFS in vaccine treated patients and control patients (time frame: 36 months). 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 NCT01479244, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 Feb 2017.
