PHASE1

Brief Summary

This phase I trial studies the safety and the ability to expand laboratory-treated T cells when given together with cyclophosphamide or denileukin diftitox in treating patients with human epidermal gr...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the feasibility of expanding HER2 specific T cells ex vivo for infusion into subjects who have advanced HER2 overexpressing cancer. II. To assess the toxicity associ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients with progressive HER2/neu overexpressing metastatic breast, ovarian, or non-small cell lung cancer not considered curable by conventional therapies, including trastuzumab
  • Extra-skeletal disease that can be accurately measured \>= 10 mm by standard imaging techniques that can include but not limited to computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Skeletal or bone-only disease which is measurable by Fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) PET imaging will also be allowed
  • Patients with ovarian cancer may have measurable disease; however, their only indication of progression may be an abnormal CA-125
  • Patients must have documented HER-2/neu overexpression in their tumor (either primary or metastasis) as was required per the eligibility criteria of their original vaccination protocol
  • Patients must have received HER2-specific vaccinations while enrolled on a HER2 vaccine protocol approved at the University of Washington Human Subjects Division
  • Patients must have undergone leukapheresis after vaccination through a protocol approved at the University of Washington Human Subjects Division and have product stored for clinical use
  • Subjects must have a Performance Status Score (Zubrod/Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group \[ECOG\] Scale) = 0 or 1
  • Patients can be currently receiving trastuzumab and/or lapatinib and/or hormonal therapy and/or bisphosphonate therapy
  • Patients on trastuzumab and/or lapatinib must have adequate cardiac function as demonstrated by multi gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO) within 90 days of eligibility determination
  • Patients must be off all immunosuppressive treatments, and/or systemic steroid therapy, for at least 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment
  • Patients must be off chemotherapy and trastuzumab for at least 1 week prior to the first infusion of T cells
  • Men and women of reproductive ability must agree to contraceptive use during the study and for one month after the final T cell infusion
  • Patients with a history of brain metastases must have a stable head imaging study within 30 days of enrollment
  • White blood cells (WBC) \>= 3000/mm\^3
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1000/mm\^3
  • Hemoglobin (Hgb) \>= 10 mg/dl
  • Platelets \>= 75,000mm\^3
  • Serum creatinine =\< 2.0 mg/dl or creatinine clearance \> 60 ml/min
  • Total bilirubin =\< 2.5 mg/dl
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) =\< 3 times ULN

Exclusion

  • Concurrent enrollment in other treatment studies
  • Patients with any of the following cardiac conditions:
  • Symptomatic restrictive cardiomyopathy
  • Unstable angina within the last 4 months prior to enrollment
  • New York Heart Association functional class III-IV heart failure on active treatment
  • Patients with any clinically significant autoimmune disease uncontrolled with treatment
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women
  • Known history of hypersensitivity to diphtheria toxin or interleukin (IL)-2 (only for subjects enrolled in Group B)
