About this study
Official title: A Phase II Randomized Window of Opportunity Trial Evaluating Clinical and Biological Effects of Intratumoral INT230-6 in Early Stage Breast Cancer: The INVINCIBLE Trial
This is a phase II, randomized, multi-center, parallel design, window of opportunity trial evaluating intratumoral INT230-6 in up to 90 patients with early stage breast cancer. In a 2:1 randomization, patients on the treatment arm will receive intratumoral INT230-6 injections prior to breast surgery.
Read the detailed description
The study comprises 2 consecutive parts. The first part will be to test safety and feasibility of the dosing procedures. Results from Part I of the study will standardise the optimal dose and frequency of INT230-6 for participants in Part II.
Part I: Open-label 2:1 randomized study of up to 30 patients. Treatment arm patients will be given up to 3 doses of INT230-6 injected weekly prior to breast surgery, at a dose based on longest diameter. The control arm patients receive no treatment.
Part II: Double-blind, 2:1 randomized study of up to an additional 60 patients. The placebo arm includes a saline injection of similar dose and frequency as the treatment arm (up to 2 doses of INT230-6/saline injected weekly prior to breast surgery).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing INT230-6 and Saline injection in people with Breast Cancer, run by Ottawa Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in Canada.
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 13 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 17 Nov 2021. 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 Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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?
Contact Angel Arnaout, MD (6137985555, anarnaout@toh.on.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The proportion of patients achieving a CCCA defined as a reduction in the proportion of cells staining positive for Ki67 as assessed by immunohistochemistry to less than a natural logarithm, or ≤2.7%, at the post-treatment specimen. (time frame: presurgical window (period from diagnosis to surgery window of 3-6 weeks)). 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 17 Nov 2021.
