Study of the Bria-IMT Regimen and CPI vs Physicians' Choice in Advanced Metastatic Breast Cancer.

(BRIA-ABC)

What this study is about

This is a conducted at multiple hospitals randomly assigned, open label study to evaluate how long patients live with the Bria-IMT regimen in combination with Checkpoint Inhibitor \[Retifanlimab\], versus Treatment of Patients'/Physicians' Choice (TPC) in advanced metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer (aMBC) patients with no approved alternative therapies available.

View original scientific description

This is a multicenter randomized, open label study to evaluate overall survival with the Bria-IMT regimen in combination with Checkpoint Inhibitor \[Retifanlimab\], versus Treatment of Patients'/Physicians' Choice (TPC) in advanced metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer (aMBC) patients with no approved alternative therapies available.

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

SV-BR-1-GM

SV-BR-1-GM is an experimental, allogeneic, whole cell breast tumor cell line stably transfected with the CSF2 gene (encoding GM-CSF) to secrete GM-CSF in vivo to consequently augment dendritic cell activity

DRUG

Cyclophosphamide

Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent with indications for treatment of malignant diseases including breast cancer. Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) 300 mg/m2 I.V., single dose, will be given to patients assigned to the SV-BR-1-GM. Cyclophosphamide will be administered 2-3 days prior to SV-BR-1-GM inoculations.

DRUG

Interferon infiltration of the inoculation site

Interferon is a cytokine released by cells to regulate immune responses to viral infections. For this study, 0.1 mcg Pegasys per injection site (x 4 injection sites) will be administered.

DRUG

Retifanlimab

Retifanlimab is a checkpoint inhibitor. A total dose of 375mg will be administered at first cycle on or about day +2 (+/-1d). In all other cycles, Retifanlimab is permitted to be administered between Day -2/-3 to Day 2±1 of the cycle based on the convenience of the patients and the clinical sites. However once the timing of the CPI is chosen for C1, it must be given on the same day thereafter throughout the trial.

DRUG

Treatment of Physician's Choice

Patients in the TPC arm of the study will be treated with one or a combination of the following: carboplatin, taxanes, capecitabine, gemcitabine, vinorelbine or eribulin in accordance with the investigators and institutional standard of care. For HER2+ patients, a HER2-targeted agent of the physician's choice can be part of TPC.

Primary outcome measures

Overall Survival

Time frame: Up to 60 months

To evaluate the effect of the Bria-IMT regimen in combination with Check Point Inhibitor (CPI) on overall survival (OS) compared to treatment of physician's choice (TPC) chemotherapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer with no approved alternative therapies available as per the Inclusion criteria.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
