Brief Title: Randomized Clinical Trial Evaluating the Use of the Laser-Assisted Immunotherapy (LIT/inCVAX) in Advanced Breast Cancer
Official Title: Phase 3 Randomized Clinical Trial Evaluating the Use of the Laser-Assisted Immunotherapy (LIT) System in Advanced Breast Cancer
Study ID: NCT03202446
Brief Summary: Our study evaluates the use of Laser-Assisted Immunotherapy (LIT) plus placebo and LIT plus low-dose cyclophosphamide versus that of Standard of Care in patients presenting with Stage IIIA, IIIB or IV breast cancer. One-third of enrolled patients will receive LIT plus placebo, one-third will receive LIT plus low-dose cyclophosphamide, and one-third will be assigned to a control group that receives Standard of Care.
Detailed Description: Laser-Assisted Immunotherapy (LIT) is intended to a systemic anti-tumor immune response by priming a tumor with laser energy to liberate an array of tumor antigens from whole cells, immediately followed by administration of the immune stimulant Glycated Chitosan (GC), which is designed to activate antigen presenting cells and facilitate the uptake of tumor antigens. In turn, the antigen presenting cells activate the patient's immune system, resulting in an immune response towards the remaining tumor(s). In this study it is investigated if the addition of low-dose cyclophosphamide increases the anti-tumor immune response of LIT, as well as comparing the effect of LIT plus Placebo or LIT plus low-dose cyclophosphamide to a control arm of patients receiving Standard of Care therapy.
