Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor
cells. It is not yet known whether THERATOPE vaccine therapy is more effective than standard
vaccine therapy in treating metastatic breast cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized double blinded phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of THERATOPE
vaccine therapy with that of standard vaccine therapy in treating women who have metastatic
breast cancer.
