Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for ONTAK® in Treating Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer That Did Not Respond to Previous Treatment

Study Description

Brief Summary: RATIONALE: ONTAK may be able to help reduce the type of cells that prevent other types of immune cells from attacking the breast cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the safety of ONTAK and its possible side effects to see how well it works in treating patients with advanced breast cancer that did not respond to previous treatment.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the safety of ONTAK infusion in patients with advanced refractory breast cancer. II. To evaluate the effect of ONTAK administration on peripheral blood T-regulatory cells. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the incidence of IL-2R expression in tumor samples and investigate the correlation of tumor IL-2R expression and tumor response to ONTAK therapy. II. To evaluate levels of circulating sIL-2R before and after ONTAK therapy. III. To evaluate the effect of ONTAK on endogenous tumor specific immunity. IV. To evaluate the potential anti-tumor effects of ONTAK in patients with advanced refractory breast cancer. OUTLINE: Patients receive ONTAK IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year.
