1 Clinical Translation of a Mammaglobin A DNA Vaccine for Breast Cancer Therapy William E. Gillanders, M.D. Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee December 14, 25

2 Overview This is a phase I dose ranging vaccine safety trial of a mammaglobin A DNA vaccine The broad objective of the study is to identify a safe and immunologically active dose of the mammaglobin A DNA vaccine that can be used in future studies

8 Summary Mammaglobin A is expressed almost exclusively in normal breast epithelium and breast cancer Mammaglobin A is overexpressed in up to 8% of primary and metastatic breast cancers Mammaglobin A overexpression appears to be consistent in all stages of breast cancer

16 Summary CD8 and CD4 T cells specific for mammaglobin A can be generated in vitro from the peripheral blood of breast cancer patients confirming that the immune system can recognize this antigen Analyses of peripheral blood from breast cancer patients confirm that breast cancer patients have higher frequencies of mammaglobin A reactive T cells

17 Advantages of DNA Vaccination Safety Generic manufacture with high purity and stability relative to protein vaccines Cost advantage Vaccination with full length cdna avoids the requirement of MHC restriction

18 Humanized Mouse Model C57BL/6 mice transgenic for Human HLA A2 X C57BL/6 mice transgenic for Human CD8 Human HLA A2 + /CD8+ C57BL/6 mice Expression of HLA A2 on all tissues Tissue specific expression of human CD8 on CD8 + T cells Facilitates recognition of human MHC by mouse CD8 + T cells

23 Phase I Clinical Trial This is a phase I dose ranging vaccine safety trial of a mammaglobin A DNA vaccine The broad objective of the study is to identify a safe and immunologically active dose of the mammaglobin A DNA vaccine that can be used in future studies

24 Objectives Evaluate the safety of the mammaglobin A DNA vaccine Assess the in vivo immune response induced by the mammaglobin A DNA vaccine by evaluation of the CD8, CD4 and Treg immune responses

25 Objectives Assess the impact of mammaglobin A DNA vaccination on breast cancer tumor markers, including circulating breast cancer cells Evaluate enrolled patients for time to disease progression following vaccination with the mammaglobin A DNA vaccine

26 Patient Selection Patients with stage IV breast cancer are eligible for enrollment Eligible patients will have metastatic breast cancer that has been stable for at least 28 days after chemotherapy, or on hormonal therapy

27 Dose Escalation This trial is a dose ranging study of four doses of the mammaglobin A DNA vaccine Four groups of at least three patients will be vaccinated with mammaglobin A DNA delivered intramuscularly at four different dose levels (15 μg, 5 μg, 15 μg, 5 mg) every three weeks for four injections

28 Dose Escalation Dose escalation will only occur when the final patient at the prior dose level has safely completed all four injections and no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) has been noted in more than one patient at the final postvaccination visit

29 Immune Monitoring ELISPOT assays, intracellular cytokine expression analyses using multiparameter flow cytometry, and peptide MHC tetramer analyses will be used to assess the antigen specific T cell response to the mammaglobin A DNA vaccine

30 Anticipated Toxicity Based on experience with DNA vaccines in phase I clinical trials we expect toxicity to be limited to grade 1 vaccine site reactions Other reactions that have been described include hyperglycemia, hypoalbuminemia, myalgia, chills, allergic rhinitis, cough, headache and pruritis

31 Safety Safety defined as the absence of sever toxicity (grade 3 or greater) using the National Institutes of Health Common Toxicity Criteria

32 Optimal Dose The dose of mammaglobin A DNA vaccine that is associated with the maximum immune response will be considered optimal If there is no clear difference in the immune response to two or more doses of mammaglobin A DNA vaccine, the lowest dose of mammaglobin A DNA vaccine that is associated with the maximum immune response will be considered optimal
