A Cancer Vaccine (STEMVAC) in Combination With Chemotherapy for the Treatment of PD-L1 Negative Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (NCT07078604)
A Phase II Trial of the Immunogenicity of a DNA Plasmid-Based Vaccine (STEMVAC) Encoding Th1 Selective Epitopes From Five Antigens Associated With Breast Cancer Stem Cells (MDM2, YB1, SOX2, CDH3, CD105) in Patients With Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase II trial studies how well a cancer vaccine called STEMVAC works in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients with PD-L1 negative, triple-negative breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). STEMVAC is designed to target proteins that are expressed on breast cancer stem cells, and it is believed to work by boosting the immune system to recognize and destroy the invader tumor cells that are causing the disease. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving STEMVAC in combination with chemotherapy may be an effective treatment for PD-L1 negative metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.
