NCT04521764

Brief Summary

This phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of using a modified measles virus, MV-s-NAP, in treating patients with invasive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Both the unmodified vaccination measles virus (MV-Edm) and this modified virus (MV-s-NAP) have been shown to multiply in and destroy breast cancer cells in the test tube and in research mice. MV-s-NAP has been altered by having an extra gene (piece of deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\]) so that virus can make a protein called helicobacter pylori neutrophil activating protein (NAP) which is normally expressed in inflammatory reactions. Monitoring blood, urine, tissue, and throat swab samples, and using imaging tests may help to determine whether MV-s-NAP has any impact on the amount of disease present in metastatic breast cancer patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Maximum tolerated dose

    This is defined as the highest dose level among those under consideration where at most one of 6 patients develops a dose limiting toxicity, and two or more of the 3-6 patients treated at the next higher dose level develop a dose limiting toxicity.

    During the first cycle of treatment (each cycle = 21 days)

  • Best tumor response

    The best tumor response in the injected and non-injected lesion will be determined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Results will be tabulated for the entire cohort and by breast cancer subtype in terms of whether there was response in none of the lesions, only the injected lesion, or both lesions.

    Up to 2 years

  • Incidence of adverse events

    The maximum grade of each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient. For each toxicity reported by dose level, the percentage of patients developing any degree of that toxicity, as well as the percentage of patients developing a severe (grade 3 or higher) toxicity, will be determined.

    Up to 2 years

  • Measles virus viremia

    Defined as detection of any titer of virus by quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction performed with patient peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Viremia will be examined in terms of the day and dose level it was detected, as well as the time to recovery.

    Up to 2 years

  • Peripheral immune response

    Peripheral immune response specific to measles virus is defined as detection of serum IgG anti-measles antibody levels of \> 20.0 EU/mL by the Enzyme Immunoassay. Peripheral anti-neutrophil activating protein (NAP) transgene response will be represented by antibody titers determined by an antigen-mediated enzyme linked immunosorbent assay against purified helicobacter pylori NAP antigen. Systemic induction of HMGB1 will also be determined. All of these factors will be examined in terms of the day and dose level they were detected, as well as the time to recovery. For each dose level, the point at which viral replication and measles virus shedding is no longer seen will be tabulated.

    Up to 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Tumor response

    Up to 2 years

  • Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Up to 2 years

  • Overall survival (OS)

    Up to 2 years
