Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Advances in the understanding of the immune response to cancer have lead to the genesis of immunotherapeutic approaches. Specifically, the development of anti-cancer vaccines holds promise as an adjuvant and preventive therapy for patients after both primary surgical and medical treatment for breast cancer, but who are at a high risk for recurrence. Patients with greater than four lymph nodes positive have an 87% chance of recurrence post standard surgical and medical therapies at 10 years. While patients with hormone receptor positive tumors have the option to undergo hormonal therapy, recurrence is especially high among estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor (ER/PR) negative patients. For these patients, currently there is no good treatment option after completion of primary therapy; close surveillance and watchful waiting is the standard.
It is this population of patients that a vaccine strategy to induce cellular immunity would target. We propose to vaccinate these patients with an immunogenic peptide from the HER2/neu protein. If successful, this vaccine strategy could be utilized as an adjuvant to currently accepted first line therapy in future clinical trials.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
E75 + GM-CSF vaccine
The dose escalation scheme is for three patients to receive each of the doses, 100, 500, and 1,000 mcg of peptide + 250 mcg GM-CSF each month for 6 months until the maximum tolerated dose is determined. Patients who receive the vaccine are HLA-A2+ and/or HLA-A3+. Responses to the vaccine are measured via immunologic assays.
E75 + GM-CSF vaccine
Dose escalation scheme involving three patients each receiving injection of 100, 500, or 1,000 mcg E75 + GM-CSF monthly for 6 months. HLA-A2 and HLA-A3 status determined. HLA-A2+ and HLA-A3+ patients receive the vaccine; HLA-A2- and HLA-A3- enrolled to the control arm.
Control/observation
HLA-A2- and HLA-A3- patients do not receive the E37 + GM-CSF vaccine, but are instead enrolled to the control arm for observation.
No interventions assigned to this group
