Abstract Introduction: The HER2-targeted monoclonal antibody, trastuzumab (Tz), is standard of care (SOC) for HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BCa) and has been shown to reduce recurrence. We have previously shown that NeuVax (E75 peptide + GM-CSF), a HER2-targeted peptide vaccine, is safe, immunogenic, and may have synergistic clinical efficacy when combined with Tz. Given the known cardiac toxicity of Tz, there is concern that adding a HER2-directed vaccine to Tz therapy may exacerbate this effect. We are currently enrolling patients (pts) in a multi-center, prospective, randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled phase II trial combining Tz and Neuvax in the adjuvant setting to prevent recurrence in HER2+ BCa pts. Here, we present the initial safety data. Methods: HLA-A2/A3+ BCa pts with stage I-III HER2+ disease at high risk for recurrence (pts not achieving complete response after Tz-containing neoadjuvant therapy or those undergoing up-front surgery with any node-positive disease if ER/PR- or ≥4 positive nodes if ER/PR+) were enrolled after SOC surgery, radiation and neo-adjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy with approved Tz-containing regimen. Pts were randomized to receive Tz and NeuVax in the vaccine group (VG) or Tz and GM-CSF only in the control group (CG). Pts received vaccinations of NeuVax or GM-CSF intradermally every 3 weeks for 6 total vaccinations (primary vaccine series, PVS) starting with the third dose of Tz maintenance therapy. Starting 6 months after the completion of the PVS, pts received four booster inoculations, one every 6 months. Cardiac ejection fraction (EF) was assessed by either echo or MUGA at baseline and serially during treatment. Demographic and safety data were collected and analyzed. Safety analysis was initiated after enrollment of the 50th patient. Results: To date, we have enrolled 50 pts (VG n=22, CG n=28). There were no significant clinicopathologic differences between groups. There were no related grade 4 or 5 toxicities and no differences in related toxicities between the VG and CG (Grade 1: 96% vs 98.5%; Grade 2: 3.2% vs 1.5%; Grade 3: 0.8% vs 0%, p=0.14). There was no significant reduction in EF pre- to post-treatment in either group (VG: 61.1±5.4% vs 60.1±4.8%, p=0.55; CG: 62.3±5.7% vs 61.9±4.0%, p=0.74) and there was no difference in change between groups (p=0.54). Conclusion: The combination of Tz and Neuvax in HER2+ BCa pts is well tolerated and the cardiac effects from Tz are not worsened by the addition of NeuVax. We will continue to enroll up to our goal of 100 pts in this ongoing trial, and will report immunologic and clinical outcomes in the planned primary analysis after 24-months follow-up.
