ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06072612

This clinical trial is comparing the effectiveness of a new treatment called the Bria-IMT regimen, used with a checkpoint inhibitor, against treatments chosen by doctors for patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer who have no other approved treatment options.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to see if the Bria-IMT regimen, combined with a checkpoint inhibitor called Retifanlimab, can help patients with advanced metastatic or locally recurring breast cancer live longer compared to treatments chosen by their doctors. The study will also look at how well the Bria-IMT regimen works on its own compared to when it's combined with the checkpoint inhibitor.

Description

This study involves patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer who have no other approved treatment options. It will compare three groups: one receiving the Bria-IMT regimen with a checkpoint inhibitor (combination therapy), one receiving treatments chosen by their doctors, and one receiving only the Bria-IMT regimen (monotherapy). After 150 patients join, the monotherapy group will stop, and those patients can switch to the combination therapy if needed.

Patients in the Bria-IMT groups will receive treatment every three weeks, while the doctor's choice group will follow the standard treatment schedule at their location. Patients will continue treatment unless their cancer worsens or they experience major side effects. Imaging tests will be done every six weeks twice, then every eight weeks to monitor progress.

The Bria-IMT regimen includes:

  • Day -2 or -3: Cyclophosphamide 300mg/m2
  • Day 0: SV-BR-1-GM given in four small skin injections
  • Days 1-3: Checkpoint inhibitor infusion and interferon injected into the same sites as the Bria-IMT
