Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor (G-CSF), Trastuzumab, and Vinorelbine on Immune Cell Function (NCT NCT00169104)

NCT ID: NCT00169104

Last Updated: 2018-07-20

Results Overview

Buffy coat effector cells were isolated by centrifugation from heparinized blood, and washed and counted. SKBR3 target cells were labeled with 51-Cr at 100 uCi per 5 x 105 cells for 1 hour at 37 C, washed and effector cells and target cells were plated at a ratio of 70:1 in 96 well microtiter plates, with trastuzumab 2 ug/ml and with no antibody. After addition of the target cells, the plate was centrifuged gently at 1200 rpm to pellet cells, the plate was incubated for 4 hours at 37C, and 100 uL of supernatant was measured on a gamma counter set for 51Cr counting for 1 minute per tube. Specific lysis in % is defined as follows: % specific lysis = (counts released into the supernatant under experimental conditions - spontaneous counts released into the supernatant) / (maximum counts released into the supernatant - spontaneous counts released into the supernatant) Specific lysis at Day 12 was compared to specific lysis at baseline between the G-CSF group and the placebo group.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 days

Population: 19 subjects were evaluable for response and toxicity, but only 17 subjects had evaluable specific lysis laboratory outcomes at baseline and at Day 12.

Buffy coat effector cells were isolated by centrifugation from heparinized blood, and washed and counted. SKBR3 target cells were labeled with 51-Cr at 100 uCi per 5 x 105 cells for 1 hour at 37 C, washed and effector cells and target cells were plated at a ratio of 70:1 in 96 well microtiter plates, with trastuzumab 2 ug/ml and with no antibody. After addition of the target cells, the plate was centrifuged gently at 1200 rpm to pellet cells, the plate was incubated for 4 hours at 37C, and 100 uL of supernatant was measured on a gamma counter set for 51Cr counting for 1 minute per tube.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 14 weeks

Population: 17 of 19 subjects had results from ADCC assays from baseline and at week 14. Because subjects on both arms of the trial received the identical treatment with 12 weeks of vinorelbine and G-CSF after the initial two week randomization, it is appropriate to pool the results of the ADCC assays at the 14 week timepoint from both arms.

Buffy coat effector cells were isolated by centrifugation from heparinized blood, washed, and counted. SKBR3 target cells were labeled with 51-Cr at 100 uCi per 5 x 105 cells for 1 hour at 37 C, washed and effector cells and target cells were plated at a ratio of 70:1 in 96 well microtiter plates, with trastuzumab 2 ug/ml and with no antibody. After addition of the target cells, the plate was centrifuged gently at 1200 rpm to pellet cells, the plate was incubated for 4 hours at 37C, and 100 uL of supernatant was measured on a gamma counter set for 51Cr counting for 1 minute per tube. Specific lysis in % is defined as follows: % specific lysis = (counts released into the supernatant under experimental conditions - spontaneous counts released into the supernatant) / (maximum counts released into the supernatant - spontaneous counts released into the supernatant) Specific lysis at Week 14 was compared to specific lysis at baseline for 17 patients with week 14 samples available.
