USO 22333

Phase 2 Single Arm Trial with a Safety Lead-in of Tucatinib in Combination with Doxil for the Treatment of HER2+ Metastatic Breast Cancer (BRE 381)

 

Disease Types: Breast Cancer Research

Eligibility Requirements:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Written informed consent, according to local guidelines, signed and dated by the patient or by a legal guardian prior to the performance of any study-specific procedures, sampling, or analyses
- At least 18 years-of-age at the time of signature of the informed consent form (ICF)
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0 or 1
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced/metastatic HER2+ breast cancer (based on local laboratory testing per American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American - - Pathologists (CAP) guidelines immunohistochemistry 3+ (IHC3+) or fluorescence in situ hybridization + (FISH+))
- Have had prior treatment with at least 1 line of anti-HER2 therapy for locally advanced/metastatic disease or relapsed within 6 months of completion of adjuvant anti-HER2 therapy. Prior treatment with tucatinib in the metastatic setting is allowed
- Measurable disease as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1
- Females of child-bearing potential should be using adequate contraceptive measures from the time of screening until 6 months following the last dose of study drug(s), should not be breast feeding and must have a negative pregnancy test prior to start of dosing, or must have evidence of non-child-bearing potential by fulfilling one of the following criteria at screening:
- Post-menopausal: defined as aged more than 50 years and amenorrheic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments
- Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy, but not tubal ligation
- Women under 50 years-of-age will be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for at least 12 months following the cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments, and have serum follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels in the postmenopausal range for the institution.
- Male patients with female partners of childbearing potential and female patients of childbearing potential are required to use two forms of acceptable contraception, including one barrier method, during their participation in the study and for 6 months following last dose. Male patients must also refrain from donating sperm during their participation in the study.
- Adequate hematologic function
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)>1500
- Platelet count >100,000 (no transfusions allowed to meet this requirement)
- Hemoglobin >g/dL (at least 2-week washout from any transfusion)
- Adequate hepatic function
- Total bilirubin <1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN). Exception: participants with known history of Gilbert's Syndrome who have a direct bilirubin 1.5 <ULN in addition to a normal aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are eligible.
- AST and ALT <2.5 ULN (<5 ULN if liver metastases are present)
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >50 mL/min/1.73 m2
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >50% based on screening echocardiogram (ECHO)/multigated acquisition (MUGA)
- Central nervous system (CNS) Inclusion - Based on screening contrast brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), patients must have one of the following:
- No evidence of brain metastases
- Untreated brain metastases not needing immediate local therapy. For patients with untreated CNS lesions >2.0 cm on screening contrast brain MRI, discussion with and approval from the --- - Medical Monitor is required prior to enrollment.
- Relevant records of any CNS treatment must be available to allow for classification of target and non-target lesions.
- Previously treated brain metastases:
- Brain metastases previously treated with local therapy may either be stable since treatment or may have progressed since prior local CNS therapy, provided that there is no clinical indication for immediate re-treatment with local therapy in the opinion of the Investigator.
- Patients treated with CNS local therapy for newly identified lesions found on contrast brain MRI performed during screening for this study may be eligible to enroll if all of the following criteria are met:
- Time since whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) is >14 days prior to first dose of treatment, time since stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is >7 days prior to first dose of treatment, or time since surgical resection is >28 days
- Other sites of disease assessable by RECIST 1.1 are present
 

Exclusion Criteria:
- Treatment with any of the following:
- Any systemic anti-cancer chemotherapy or small molecule, biologic, or hormonal agent from a previous treatment regimen or clinical study within 21 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study drugs. At least 10 days must have elapsed between the last dose of such agent and the first dose of study drugs.
- Prior treatment with anthracycline in any setting
- Major surgery (excluding placement of vascular access) within 28 days of first dose of study drugs Palliative radiation therapy within 14 days of first dose of study drugs
- Based on screening brain MRI, patients must not have any of the following:
- Any untreated brain lesions >2.0 cm in size, unless discussed with the Medical Monitor and approval for enrollment is granted
- Ongoing use of systemic corticosteroids for control of symptoms of brain metastases at a total daily dose of >2 mg of dexamethasone (or equivalent). However, patients on a chronic stable dose of < 2 mg total daily of dexamethasone (or equivalent) may be eligible with discussion and approval by the Medical Monitor
- Any brain lesion thought to require immediate local therapy, including (but not limited to) a lesion in an anatomic site where increase in size or possible treatment-related edema may pose risk to patient (e.g., brain stem lesions). Patients who undergo local treatment for such lesions identified by screening contrast brain MRI may still be eligible for the study based on criteria described under CNS inclusion criteria 14c
- Known or suspected leptomeningeal disease (LMD) as documented by the Investigator
- Have poorly controlled (>1 week) generalized or complex partial seizures, or manifest neurologic progression due to brain metastases, notwithstanding CNS-directed therapy.
- Use of a strong cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C8-inhibitor or use of a strong CYP3A4 or use of a CYP2C8 inducer within 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment
- With the exception of alopecia, any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than CTCAE Grade 1 at the time of starting study treatment. Note: patients with chronic Grade 2 toxicities who are asymptomatic or adequately managed with stable medication may be eligible with approval by the Medical Monitor.
