A history or presence of an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) that, in the Investigator's opinion, is clinically meaningful. Screening corrected QT interval (QTc) interval >480 milliseconds is excluded (corrected by Fridericia or Bazett formula). In the event that a single QTc is >480 milliseconds, the participant may enroll if the average QTc for the 3 ECGs is <480 milliseconds. 15. New York Heart Association stage 3 or 4 cardiac disease. 16. A pericardial effusion of moderate severity or worse. 17. Symptomatic pleural effusion or ascites. A participant who is clinically stable following treatment for these conditions (including therapeutic thoraco- or paracentesis) is eligible. 18. Any woman of childbearing potential (i.e., has had a menstrual cycle within the past year and has not been surgically sterilized), unless she agrees to take appropriate precautions to avoid becoming pregnant during the study and has a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to starting treatment. 19. Men must have been sterile or, if they were potentially fertile/reproductively competent, should take appropriate precautions to avoid fathering a child for the duration of the study. 20. Women who are pregnant or nursing. 21. Known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment, or history of other malignancy within 2 years of study entry with the exception of cured basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder cancer, prostate intraepithelial neoplasm, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or other noninvasive or indolent malignancy, or cancers from which the participant has been disease-free for > 1 year, after treatment with curative intent. 22. Patients who have uncontrolled HIV or have clinical or laboratory features indicative of AIDS. 23. Have a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (doses exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. 24. Have an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past year (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is allowed. 25. Known active HAV, HBV, or HCV infection, as defined by elevated transaminases with the following serology: positivity for HAV IgM antibody, anti-HCV, anti-HBc IgG or IgM, or HBsAg (in the absence of prior immunization). 26.

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Experimental
Bria-IMT Regimen + CPI
The Bria-IMT regimen: Day -2 or -3 Cyclophosphamide 300mg/m2 Day 0 SV-BR-1-GM given intradermally divided into 4 inoculations Day 1-3 CPI infusion plus interferon administered intra-dermally within each SV-BR-1-GM inoculation site
  • 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
    Other names:
    • Part of the Bria-IMT regimen
  • 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.
Active Comparator
Treatment of Physician's Choice
TPC consists of eribulin, carboplatin, capecitabine, gemcitabine, vinorelbine or taxanes in accordance with the investigators' and institutional standard of care. The specific details of the selected regimen must include every detail of administration including frequency, sequencing (for multi-agent regimens), duration of infusion or oral administration, planned dose, dose prescribed, dose administered, dose adjustments after initial prescription or start of TPC treatment, and any other change in TPC from its initial election prior to randomization.
  • 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.

Detailed 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. A secondary objective will be to evaluate the activity of the Bria-IMT regimen alone in comparison with the Bria-IMT regimen in combination with CPI. Initial randomization will be 1:1:1 to the Bria-IMT regimen + CPI (combination therapy), TPC, and the Bria-IMT regimen alone (monotherapy). After the first 150 patients have enrolled in the study, the monotherapy arm will be discontinued and patients allowed to cross over to the combination therapy if needed. Randomization will continue 1:1 between the combination therapy vs TPC. For the Bria regimen +/- CPI arms, treatment cycles occur every 3 weeks. TPC cycle details will be according to the site's SOC. In the absence of progressive disease or major safety issues, the patient will continue with therapy cycles, with imaging assessment every 6 weeks x2 then every 8 weeks thereafter. The Bria-IMT regimen includes: Day -2 or -3 Cyclophosphamide 300mg/m2 Day 0 SV-BR-1-GM given intradermally divided into 4 inoculations Day 1-3 CPI infusion plus interferon intra-dermally within each Bria-IMT inoculation site

Notice

Study information shown on this site is derived from ClinicalTrials.gov (a public registry operated by the National Institutes of Health). The listing of studies provided is not certain to be all studies for which you might be eligible. Furthermore, study eligibility requirements can be difficult to understand and may change over time, so it is wise to speak with your medical care provider and individual research study teams when making decisions related to participation.
