Measure
Vaccine
Patients with HER-2/neu negative tumors received therapeutic autologous dendritic cells: injected into the primary breast mass or palpable axillary node, one week after the first, second and third T treatments. Adjuvant hormone therapy for patients having tumors with estrogen and/or progesterone receptors. Premenopausal patients will be treated with tamoxifen. Post or perimenopausal women may receive tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor. Patients received 4 cycles of paclitaxel: 175 mg/m2 (IV), followed by 4 cycles of cyclophosphamide: 600 mg/m2 IV and doxorubicin hydrochloride: 60 mg/m2 IV in a bi-weekly dose dense fashion All patients had pre-treatment biopsy and second tumor biopsy after 4 cycles of paclitaxel to evaluate responses to the dendritic cell injections.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Post-vaccination peripheral blood (PB) after the last chemotherapy.

Population: Evaluation of this data is unknown as was not provided by collaborating center performing the analysis.

T cell response to tumor-specific Ag, will be measured by ELISPOT assay with a biologic response defined as double the average ELISPOT reactivity in post-vaccination peripheral blood (PB) compared to pre-vaccination PB.
