QuoteReplyTopic: New TNBC Immunotherapy Trial opened Posted: May 10 2016 at 10:56pm
"A Vaccine + Chemotherapy to Reduce Risk of Recurrence in Triple Negative Breast Cancer" just opened and is recruiting in MD, Michigan, and TN. For those who had Stage II or III TNBC and have completed their last cycle of chemotherapy or radiation more than 60 days prior to consent. Read about it on breastcancertrials.org: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/1549a1c5a536ef95 For more details, and other exclusion criteria, see clinicaltrials.gov NCT02593227.
This Phase II trial evaluates the safety and immunogenicity of two doses of the Folate Receptor Alpha (FRα) peptide vaccine mixed with GM-CSF as a vaccine adjuvant, with or without a immune priming with cyclophosphamide, as a consolidation therapy after neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment of patients with Stage IIb-III triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).
Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title:
A Randomized Multicenter Phase II Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of Two Doses of Vaccination With Folate Receptor Alpha Peptides With GM-CSF in Patients With Triple Negative Breast Cancer

I'm just curious if anyone is participating in this trial, and if so, what has been your experience so far (side effects?). I see that there is an extremely similar trial about to start, sponsored by NCI, and in many more locations (see below). This one has Dana Farber as one of the locations, which is close to me, so I'm considering it. I think you can join up to one year after your last chemo or treatment, so I guess I have until August to participate. Part of me LOVES being done with treatment right now, but if there's a vaccine that can reduce the chance of recurrence significantly, why not? I believe the dose of cyclophosphamide is very low, and you just get it in the beginning to prime the immune system, so it does not result in hair loss or anything like you'd experience if you had it at regular chemo-dose levels.
Thanks,

Has anyone been accepted into this trial? I live near Nashville and my doctor said he would refer me to it? I still have chemo to finish but anything is worth a shot at this point?
I have been on this trial for the past year and a half. Looking for anyone out there on this trial as well to see if there are similar side effects that I am experiencing. Thank you!
