Phase I Study of Autologous Tumor-Draining Lymph Node-Derived Lymphocytes for Advanced HER2-Negative Breast Cancer


Sponsor

Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University

Enrollment

24 participants

Start Date

Nov 1, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

RATIONALE: Patients with HER2-negative advanced breast cancer have limited choice on targeted therapies, and often show only modest responses to available immunotherapies. Adoptive cell therapy with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes has difficulties in preparing enough cells from solid tumors and overcoming the exhaustion and dysfunction of T cells, which limit its clinical use. Tumor-draining lymph node-derived lymphocytes (LNLs) that have abundant tumor-specific T cells, rather than exhausted T cells, are easier to produce. It is not yet known whether LNL treatment is safe and effective in patients with advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is mainly to study the safety of autologous LNL in patients with advanced HER2-negative breast cancer.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a new type of treatment where immune cells taken from lymph nodes near the tumor (called lymph node-derived lymphocytes, or LNL) are grown and expanded in the lab, then given back to the patient to fight the cancer. It is being tested in women with advanced HER2-negative breast cancer that has not responded to prior treatments. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman aged 18–70 with advanced (stage IIIB/IIIC) or metastatic (stage IV) HER2-negative breast cancer - Your cancer has progressed after prior hormonal therapy or CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment (for hormone receptor-positive tumors) - You are in good health overall (ECOG 0 or 1) with a life expectancy of at least 4 months - You have measurable disease on scans - You have not received prior adoptive cell therapy **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have brain or spinal fluid involvement from cancer - Your blood counts, liver, or kidney function are not adequate - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have significant autoimmune conditions or active infections Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

PROCEDURESurgery for harvesting tumor-draining lymph nodes

A sample of the participant's tumor-draining lymph nodes will be collected and sent to the biotherapy center for LNL isolation and expansion.

DRUGCyclophosphamide

Cyclophosphamide will be administered at 500 mg/m\^2 IV daily for three days. Cyclophosphamide will be initiated five days prior to the anticipated LNL transfer, and the precise timing will depend on the rate of in vitro LNL growth.

DRUGFludarabine

Fludarabine will be administered at 30 mg/m\^2 IV daily for three days. Fludarabine will be initiated five days prior to the anticipated LNL transfer, and the precise timing will depend on the rate of in vitro LNL growth.

BIOLOGICALTumor-draining lymph node-derived lymphocyte (LNL)

In the dose-escalation portion, participants receive ascending dose (1×10\^9\~18×10\^9), single Infusion of LNL on day 0. In the dose-expansion portion, participants receive single infusion of LNL at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).

BIOLOGICALInterleukin-2

Eight to twelve hours after completing the LNL infusion, all participants will receive intermediate-dose decrescendo IL-2 IV.

BIOLOGICALCamrelizumab

Camrelizumab will be administered at a dose of 200mg (3mg/kg for participants whose weight is below 50kg) IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until unacceptable toxic effects or disease progression or other termination criteria appeared.

DRUGChemotherapeutic drug, ADC or PARP inhibitor

Another anti-tumor drug chosen from chemotherapeutic drug, ADC, or PARP inhibitor will be administered at investigator's discretion.
