Study Summary

This trial is testing whether it's safe to give stage I to III hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients neoadjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy with DPX-Survivac, DPX-Survivac plus radiation, or DPX-Survivac with cyclophosphamide.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for post-menopausal women with resectable, non-metastatic breast cancer that's hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. Participants should have a tumor larger than 1 cm, be at least 18 years old with good performance status, and have adequate organ function. They must not have had previous breast cancer treatments or certain other conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety of neoadjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy combined with DPX-Survivac alone, DPX-Survivac plus radiation (10Gy x2), or DPX-Survivac with cyclophosphamide (50mg). Each participant will also take letrozole (2.5mg daily) during the six-week pre-surgery treatment phase.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to vaccine components like DPX-Survivac, hormonal changes from letrozole, blood count changes from cyclophosphamide, and skin irritation from radiation. The exact side effects will vary depending on the treatment arm.
