Phase I Study of Autologous Tumor-Draining Lymph Node-Derived Lymphocytes as Neoadjuvant Therapy for HER2-Negative Breast Cancer
Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University
24 participants
Nov 1, 2023
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
RATIONALE: Patients with HER2-negative breast cancer not responding to initial neoadjuvant chemotherapy might have lower chances for a pathologic complete response (pCR) at definitive surgery, indicating worse prognosis. Adoptive cell therapy has demonstrated efficacy in advanced breast cancer, but whether the addition of adoptive cell therapy to neoadjuvant chemotherapy could increase the pCR rate remains unclear. Tumor-draining lymph node-derived lymphocytes (LNLs) that have abundant tumor-reactive T cells, but not exhausted T cells, are easy to produce. It is not yet known whether LNL treatment is safe and effective in patients with HER2-negative breast cancer not responding to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is mainly to investigate the safety of autologous LNL in patients with HER2-negative breast cancer not responding to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Interventions
A sample of the participant's tumor-draining lymph nodes will be collected and sent to the biotherapy center for LNL isolation and expansion.
Doxorubicin will be administered at 60 mg/m\^2 IV on Day 1 of Cycles 1-2 of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy of the study.
Epirubicin will be administered at 100 mg/m\^2 IV on Day 1 of Cycles 1-2 of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy of the study.
Cyclophosphamide will be administered at 600 mg/m\^2 IV on Day 1 of Cycles 1-2 of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy of the study.
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.
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.
Participants receive single infusion of LNL at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
Eight to twelve hours after completing the LNL infusion, all participants will receive intermediate-dose decrescendo IL-2 IV.
Nab-paclitaxel will be administered at 260 mg/m\^2 IV on Day 1 of Cycles 3-6 of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy of the study.
