  • Ages 28 to 65 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • For the first time established morphologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer
  • patients with II A, II B, IIIA, III B stages of breast cancer;
  • Patients with progressive or primary IV stage of breast cancer with cytologically confirmed and accessible soft tissue metastases;
  • Patients with HER-2 / neu 3 + positive and patients with triple negative breast cancer of the I-II stage (biologically unfavorable forms of breast cancer more prone to recurrence and metastasis).

About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Clinical and Laboratory Efficacy of Autogemotherapy Based on Autologous Antigen-activated Dendritic Cells in the Treatment of Patients With Breast Cancer

The purpose of this work: to assess the tolerability and effectiveness of the autogemotherapy method on the basis of autologous antigen-activated dendritic cells in the treatment of patients with breast cancer.

This technology is intended for complex treatment of patients with breast cancer and is aimed at preventing the occurrence and treatment of secondary foci. The need for this technology is justified by the widespread occurrence of breast cancer among women, a decrease in the average age at onset of the disease and a young age, and the chemoresistantness of locally advanced forms of cancer.

Read the detailed description

Currently, technologies are being developed to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with complex treatment of breast cancer. Many patients are immunosuppressed after surgical, radiation and chemotherapeutic treatment, which leads to dysfunction of T cells, resulting in tumor cells avoiding immune surveillance. Restoration of antitumor immunity during immunotherapy is one of the modern approaches in the treatment of breast cancer, which contributes to the formation of an effective specific immune response, the destruction of tumor cells while minimizing toxicity. Dendritic cells (DC) and the lymphocytes induced by them are one of the most effective methods for the destruction of residual cancer cells, which are the leading cause of relapse and metastasis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Сytotoxicity

    A study of the cytotoxic activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells against tumor cells of the MCF-7 line. The result will be presented as the level of cytotoxicity (%) against the cells of the tumor line. The determination of cytotoxicity is carried out using a lactate dehydrogenase test (Promega). The level of the enzyme is proportional to the level of cytotoxicity.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Parameters of peripheral blood

    Leukocyte formula, the enzyme content (lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, liver enzymes) of C-reactive protein, creatinine

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Immune status indicators

    We investigated the content of CD 3, CD 4, CD 8, CD 19, CD 16, HLA-DR on CD 14 monocytes

    Measured: 6 months

  3. The content of immunosuppressive populations

    We investigated the content of T-regulatory cells, myeloid suppressors, myeloid and plasmacytoid dendritic cells

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Interrogation of the patient using a visual analogue scale

    patient evaluates his state in points. The patient is assessed such symptoms as fatigue, irritability, anorexia, nausea, pain, sleep disturbance)

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Relapse-free period

    A study of the period between the onset of complex treatment and immunotherapy until the recurrence of the disease.

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Immunotherapy based on dendritic cells in people with Breast Cancer, run by Research Institute of Fundamental and Clinical Immunology.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2017. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Сytotoxicity (time frame: 6 months). 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 13 Apr 2017.
