NCT00093834 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Summary

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's tumor cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining vaccine therapy with cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin when given with vaccine therapy in treating women with stage IV breast cancer.

Conditions

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

allogeneic GM-CSF-secreting breast cancer vaccine

The first three patients will receive a dose of 5 X 107 cells, and the next three will receive a dose of 5 X 108 cells. Then, if these two doses of vaccine alone are found to be safe, a fixed vaccine dose of 5 X 108 cells will be tested in combination with chemotherapy based on the safety of the allogeneic breast vaccine alone and the safety and bioactivity of a dose of 5 X 108 cells in the allogeneic pancreatic vaccine trial

DRUG

cyclophosphamide

This trial will be a dose ranging study of a fixed sequence of drug doses in a three by three factorial matrix modeled after the theories of Plackett and Burman (Plackett et al., 1946), and is designed to determine the doses of CY and DOX that maximize the immunologic response to vaccination

DRUG

doxorubicin hydrochloride

This trial will be a dose ranging study of a fixed sequence of drug doses in a three by three factorial matrix modeled after the theories of Plackett and Burman (Plackett et al., 1946), and is designed to determine the doses of CY and DOX that maximize the immunologic response to vaccination
