Immunologic Targeting of Native and Mutated ESR1 Receptor for Treatment of Hormone Receptor Expressing Metastatic Breast Cancer

What is this study?

This study is testing a new combination of a pill called elacestrant and a special vaccine to see if they can effectively treat metastatic breast cancer. By using a vaccine to help the immune system recognize cancer cells, researchers hope to find a safer and more effective way to stop the cancer from growing.

Who can participate?

This trial is for patients with hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and has a specific genetic change called an ESR1 mutation. Participants must have already tried certain standard hormone treatments and CDK 4/6 inhibitors without success.

What will happen?

Participants will receive the medication elacestrant along with a dendritic cell vaccine, which is designed to teach your immune system how to fight your specific type of cancer. The medical team will closely monitor your health throughout the study to ensure the treatment is safe and to track how your cancer responds.

Where and when?

This study is currently recruiting new participants and is located in Tampa, Florida. You should speak with your doctor to see if your specific medical history makes you a good candidate for this trial.

Key Points
  • 1Tests a combination of an oral medication and an immune-boosting vaccine.
  • 2Specifically designed for patients with an ESR1 genetic mutation.
  • 3Requires previous treatment with hormone therapy and CDK 4/6 inhibitors.
  • 4Active, physician-led study focused on patient safety and feasibility.
