Typhoid Vaccine in Testing Response to Immune Stress in Patients With Stage I-IIIA Breast Cancer (IMPACT)

July 22, 2024 updated by: Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center

The IMPACT Study: Inflammatory Responses, Mood and Physical Fitness After Cancer Treatment

This randomized clinical trial uses an inactive typhoid vaccine to briefly stimulate an immune response in patients with stage I-IIIA breast cancer who received primary cancer treatment and studies whether patients' fitness levels affect how their bodies handle a challenge to their immune system. A vaccine is a substance or group of substances meant to cause the immune system to respond to a tumor or to microorganisms such as bacteria or viruses. Immune responses may cause excess inflammation in the body and behavioral changes, such as depression, fatigue, pain, and problems with thinking and reasoning. Studying immune responses in patients with breast cancer who have undergone primary cancer treatment may help doctors learn whether physical fitness can protect the body from effects of immune system stress and whether it may be able to reduce health problems in patients with breast cancer.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the relationships between cardiorespiratory fitness and inflammatory and behavioral responses (negative mood, fatigue, pain, and cognitive problems) to typhoid vaccine in breast cancer survivors.

II. To determine the effects of age and depressive symptoms on inflammatory and behavioral responses to typhoid vaccine and placebo.

III. To assess the ability of cardiorespiratory fitness to moderate age- and depression-related responses to typhoid vaccine.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients receive inactive typhoid vaccine intramuscularly (IM) at visit 1 followed by placebo IM 30 days later at visit 2.

ARM II: Patients receive placebo IM at visit 1 followed by inactive typhoid vaccine IM 30 days later at visit 2.

There is an initial screening visit where patients in both arms complete an audio-recorded interview that includes questions about changes in mood and emotion throughout their lives, body measurements, a finger stick to assess for anemia and diabetes markers. During visit 1 and 2, patients in both arms will have blood drawn periodically and complete sets of questionnaires that assess feelings, health behaviors, and personality. Patients also complete cognitive tasks and a temperature sensitivity task at 3-4.5 hours post-injection.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

35 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women who have been diagnosed with stage I-IIIA breast cancer will be recruited 1-10 years after the completion of all primary cancer treatment except for longer-term hormonal therapies (tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors)
  • All women will be postmenopausal

Exclusion Criteria:

  • A prior history of any other malignancy except basal or squamous cell skin cancers, strokes, diabetes, current heart disease or uncontrolled hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, liver disease, autoimmune and/or inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis, and other medical conditions that would limit participation in the assessments (e.g., pulmonary disease, orthopedic problems, major psychiatric illness, major cognitive dysfunction, or an acute medical problem)
  • Anemia
  • Alcohol or drug abuse
  • Smoking
  • Medication exclusions will include steroids as well as statins and other medications with anti-inflammatory actions
  • Women who have received a typhoid vaccine within the last three years

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
AUC Change in Level of IL-6
Time Frame: Baseline, 1.5, 3, 5, 6.5, 8 hours post vaccine
AUC change refers to the 'net incremental' area, which is the area under the curve above the baseline value. Data points used in AUC change calculation include baseline, 1.5, 3, 5, 6.5, 8 hours post vaccine. This can be calculated geometrically by applying the trapezoid rule. When a value falls below the baseline, only the area above the baseline level is included.
Baseline, 1.5, 3, 5, 6.5, 8 hours post vaccine

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
AUC Change in Pain
Time Frame: baseline, 2, 3.5, 5, 6.5, 8.5 hours post vaccine
Self-reported intensity of pain on 0-9 scale (0 = no pain; 9 = pain as bad as you can imagine). AUC change refers to the 'net incremental' area, which is the area under the curve above the baseline value. Data points used in AUC change calculation include baseline, 2, 3.5, 5, 6.5, 8.5 hours post vaccine. This can be calculated geometrically by applying the trapezoid rule. When a value falls below the baseline, only the area above the baseline level is included.
baseline, 2, 3.5, 5, 6.5, 8.5 hours post vaccine
AUC Change in Fatigue
Time Frame: baseline, 2, 3.5, 5, 6.5, 8.5 hours post vaccine
Self-reported intensity of fatigue on 0-9 scales (0 = no fatigue; 9 = fatigue as bad as you can imagine). AUC change refers to the 'net incremental' area, which is the area under the curve above the baseline value. Data points used in AUC change calculation include baseline, 2, 3.5, 5, 6.5, 8.5 hours post vaccine. This can be calculated geometrically by applying the trapezoid rule. When a value falls below the baseline, only the area above the baseline level is included.
