ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06471673

This clinical trial is testing a new treatment called BRIA-OTS cellular immunotherapy for patients with advanced breast cancer that has returned after previous treatments. The study aims to determine the safety and effectiveness of this therapy when used alone and in combination with other cancer-fighting drugs.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

This study is exploring a new treatment called BRIA-OTS cellular immunotherapy for patients with advanced breast cancer that has come back after previous treatments. The trial is divided into two phases. In the first phase, the safety of the BC1 cell line is tested by giving it to patients in increasing doses. If the treatment is safe, the second phase will begin, where patients will receive the BC1 cell line along with other medications, including a checkpoint inhibitor, to see if this combination can help control the cancer.

Description

This clinical trial is testing a new treatment called BRIA-OTS cellular immunotherapy for patients with advanced breast cancer that has returned after previous treatments. The study is divided into two phases. In Phase 1, the safety of the BC1 cell line is tested by giving it to patients in increasing doses. If the treatment is safe, Phase 2 will begin, where patients will receive the BC1 cell line along with other medications, including a checkpoint inhibitor, to see if this combination can help control the cancer.

In the first part of Phase 1, patients receive the BC1 cell line alone. The first patient gets a small dose, and if it's safe, the next patient gets a higher dose. This continues until at least three patients have been safely treated. In the second part of Phase 1, patients receive the BC1 cell line along with other medications every three weeks. The study will carefully monitor patients for any side effects.

In Phase 2, more patients will be treated with the combination of BC1 cells and other medications to see if it helps control the cancer. Imaging tests will be done regularly to check the cancer's response to the treatment. Patients can continue the treatment as long as they are benefiting from it and there are no better treatment options available.

The study will also follow patients for up to two years to see how long they stay on treatment and how long they live after the treatment. The goal is to find out if this new treatment can help control advanced breast cancer that has returned after previous treatments.
