Study Details

Brief summary:

This is an open-label Phase 1/2a study. Once the safety of the BC1 cell line alone has been demonstrated in Phase 1, in Phase 2, patients will be treated with the Bria-OTS regimen (see below) and a clinically available check point inhibitor (CPI).

During the monotherapy phase of Phase 1, one patient will be treated intradermally every 2 weeks for 6 weeks (4 doses) with an initial dose of the BC1 cell line. If this dose is tolerated, the next patient will receive an increased dose of BC1. If once again tolerated, the third patient will receive a further dose increase of the BC1. Once at least 3 patients have been safely treated with the BC1 cell line, with no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), the combinational phase of the study will commence.

Following the monotherapy phase, patients will be treated with BC1 and the Bria-OTS regimen (see below) every 3 weeks, plus a CPI at the FDA approved labelled dose and schedule. There will be at least a 2-week spacing between enrollment of each of the first three subjects in the study in order to assess for any early unanticipated risk(s).

During the Phase 1 combination and Phase 2 expansion phases, all patients will be treated with BC1 cells as part of the Bria-OTS regimen, which includes cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2 2-3 days prior to BC1 cell inoculation, and peginterferon alpha-2a administered on the same day, following BC1 cell inoculation.

13. Men who are fertile/reproductively competent, should take appropriate precautions to avoid fathering a child for the duration of the study.
14. Women who are pregnant or nursing.
15. Patients with concurrent second malignancy.
16. Persons with previous malignancies requiring treatment within the past 24 months.
17. Patients who have clinical or laboratory features indicative of AIDS and are HIV positive (by self-report).
18. Have a diagnosis of immunodeficiency, or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (doses exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent), or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 21 days prior to first dose of study treatment.

20. Patients with severe psychiatric (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar, or borderline personality disorder) or other clinically progressive major medical problems, unless approved by the Investigator and Sponsor.
21. Patients may not be on a concurrent clinical trial, unless approved by Investigator and Sponsor.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Phase 1, Part 1 Monotherapy Phase

Subject 1, Q2w for 4 doses

Subject 2, Q2w for 4 doses

Subject 3, Q2w for 4 doses Treatment is administered every 2 weeks for a total of 4 doses.

Initially, safety will be assessed on these 3 subjects. DLTs are defined as CTCAE Grade 3 or 4 adverse events that are suspected to be possibly related to study treatment.

If 1 of 3 Phase 1 subjects experience a DLT, that dose cohort will be expanded to another 3 patients before the combinational phase begins. A total of 3-6 subjects will be assessed for safety.

experimental: Phase 1, Part 2 Combination Phase

3 subjects will be treated every 3 weeks with the Bria-OTS regimen with a CPI (tislelizumab) in the Part 2 combination phase.

The Bria-OTS regimen consists of cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2 2-3 days prior to BC1 cell line inoculation. On the same day as the cell inoculation, subjects will receive peginterferon alpha-2a. Subjects will also receive the CPI (tislelizumab) on the same day of the cell inoculation according to approved dosing.

Treatment is administered every 3 weeks in combination with the Bria-OTS regimen and CPI (tislelizumab).

experimental: Phase 2 Expansion Cohort

Once 3 patients have been safely treated with the Bria-OTS regimen and CPI (tislelizumab) for 2 cycles, Phase 2 will enroll an expansion cohort, consisting of up to an additional 9 subjects (for a total of 12 treated with the Bria-OTS regimen and CPI).

The Bria-OTS regimen consists of cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2 2-3 days prior to BC1 cell line inoculation. On the same day as the cell inoculation, subjects will receive peginterferon alpha-2a. Subjects will also receive the CPI (tislelizumab) on the same day of the cell inoculation according to approved dosing.

Treatment is administered every 3 weeks in combination with the Bria-OTS regimen and CPI (tislelizumab).

Interventions

BC1 cell line

BC1 cell line is a different experimental, HER-2 positive, allogeneic, whole cell BC cell lines designed to secrete GM-CSF in situ and augment dendritic cell activity. Similar to the SV-BR-1-GM cell line (NCT03328026, IND 10312), the BC cell line is derived from the BC parent cell line, SV-BR-1, which expresses multiple tumor associated antigens (TAAs)
