Brief Summary:
The primary goals of this trial will be to determine the safety and immune activity of HER-2 pulsed DC1 vaccine in patients with high risk HER-2pos breast cancer with residual disease post neoadjuvant therapy. Investigators will also explore the possibility of determining whether circulating tumor cells can be used as surrogate to assess response to vaccination.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Breast Cancer Biological: HER-2 pulsed Dendritic Cell Vaccine Phase 1

Detailed Description:

Dendritic cell cancer vaccines combined with chemotherapy may increase complete responses giving breast cancer specific immune cells greater opportunity to function while the immune repertoire is being shifted by chemotherapy to anti-breast cancer response and offer the chance to test secondary prevention of breast cancer in high risk settings. There is a need to determine whether this ICAIT DC1 can activate CD4 and CD8 T cells prior to or in combination with chemotherapy with or without added trastuzumab.

This study began at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania and will be continued at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: HER-2 Pulsed Dendritic Cell Vaccine
6 weekly HER-2 pulsed dendritic cell vaccines followed by 3 booster vaccines once every 3 months.
Biological: HER-2 pulsed Dendritic Cell Vaccine
Each dose will consist of between 1.0-2.0 x 10^7 cells and will be injected into 1-2 different normal groin lymph nodes or axillary nodes.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Participation Compliance [ Time Frame: Up to 18 months ]
    Feasibility: Defined as a patient's ability and willingness to complete the treatment regimen (6 weekly vaccinations). Data collection will include rate of successful completion and occurrence rate for each reason stated for non-completion.

  2. Occurrence of Treatment Related Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Up to 18 months ]
    Number of participants with treatment related adverse events, per event category.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Immunogenicity [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years follow-up ]
    Immunogenicity will be evaluated by descriptive statistics, plots of pre- and post-treatment values and fold changes. Immune response rate and 95% exact confidence interval will be calculated.

  2. Anti-HER2 Immunity [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years follow-up ]
    Anti-HER2 response will be quantitated as EOS/baseline fold change in dilution studies.
