Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of pre-operative locoregional cytokine therapy (IRX-2 regimen) in early stage breast cancer, and to evaluate for intratumoral and peripheral immunomodulatory activity.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Sixteen patients with stage I-III early stage breast cancer (any histology type) indicated for surgical lumpectomy or mastectomy were enrolled to receive pre-operative locoregional immunotherapy with the IRX-2 cytokine biologic (2mL subcutaneous x 10 days to peri-areolar skin). The regimen also included single-dose cyclophosphamide (300mg/m
RESULTS: Pre-operative locoregional cytokine administration was feasible in 100% (n=16/16) of subjects and associated with increases in stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (p
CONCLUSIONS: IRX-2 is safe in early stage breast cancer. Potentially favorable immunomodulatory changes were observed, supporting further study of IRX-2 in early stage breast cancer and other malignancies.
