Metastatic Breast Cancer Clinical Trials

The majority of patients (pts) with breast cancer have hormone receptor positive (HR+) disease, and this holds true for pts with advanced breast cancer (ABC). Currently frontline therapy for pts with HR+ ABC is antihormonal therapy with an aromatase inhibitor or selective estrogen receptor degrader plus a CDK4/6i. The proposed trial is a randomized study to further evaluate the potential benefit of switching a frontline regimen at the time that a molecular signal, ctDNA, suggests progression prior to detection of clinical progression using standard methods. The purpose of this study is to determine whether switching treatment earlier in the disease process, based on molecular progression, will increase the amount of time that a patient's metastatic breast cancer is controlled compared to patients with metastatic breast cancer who receive treatment later based on diagnostic imaging results or other methods currently used in medical practice.

The purpose of this study is to see if using Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy/SBRT to treat a single metastatic site where cancer has worsened may be an effective treatment for people with oligometastatic breast cancer. Participants will stay on their usual drug therapy while they receive SBRT. This combination of SBRT to a single metastatic site and usual drug therapy may prevent participants' cancer from worsening in other metastatic sites or spreading. Read Less

HARMONIA is an international, multicenter, randomized, open-label and phase III study. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the combination of ribociclib with endocrine therapy (letrozole or fulvestrant) is superior to palbociclib with endocrine therapy (letrozole or fulvestrant) in prolonging progression-free survival in patients with advanced HR+/HER2- and HER2-E breast cancer. The study will enroll approximately 456 patients with HER2-E disease from approximately 95 sites worldwide. In addition, the HARMONIA trial will include an exploratory cohort of patients with HR+/HER2- and Basal-like disease treated with paclitaxel +/- Tislelizumab. This cohort does not have a predefined sample size and the objective is only exploratory, given the suggested lack of efficacy of the combinations of hormone therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors in this subgroup of patients. Enrolment into the basal-like cohort will stop once the HER2-E disease cohort is fully enrolled. Read Less

Phase I/II study of adoptive immunotherapy for advanced MUC1* positive breast cancer with autologous T cells engineered to express either a chimeric antigen receptor, huMNC2-CAR44 or huMNC2-CAR22, which are specific for a cleaved form of MUC1 (MUC1*). Read Less

This proposal uses HER2Bi armed activated T-cells (HER2 BATs) to target breast cancer in combination with pembrolizumab (PBZ) in women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Phase I will determine a safe dose of the combination of PBZ and HER2 BATs in 3 to 18 patients. In the phase II portion, an additional 12 patients will be treated at the selected dose to further evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy. Study treatment includes a combination of 8 infusions of BATs using a previously established schedule and one to three infusions of PBZ (200 mg per dose). PBZ will be added to 8 infusions of BATs in 3 schedules: #1) after the 8th BATs infusion; #2) after the 4th and 8th BATs infusions; and then, #3) before the 1st and after the 4th and 8th BATs infusions.

For patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, blockage of the ER pathway has been proven to be an effective anticancer approach. These patients showed good response to endocrine therapy. Fulvestrant, the approved SERD as monotherapy or in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitors, showed superior clinical benefit compared to other endocrine therapies. Fulvestrant exhibits differential mechanism of action from other endocrine therapy, such as tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, which indicates that direct blockage of ER might derive better clinical activity. However, due to its route of administration by intramuscular injection, the clinical application is limited, especially with long term use. In addition, a higher dose of fulvestrant at 500 mg showed better overall survival than the lower dose at 250 mg, suggesting that more profound ER pathway modulation could derive better clinical benefit. Therefore, a SERD with improved oral bioavailability and good safety profile which enables its overdose is anticipated to achieve a more satisfactory clinical outcome with better compliance of clinical use. Preclinical data indicates that ZB716 is a novel orally bioavailable, selective ERα degrader with full ER antagonism that demonstrates superior properties than Fulvestrant. Thus, it has a potential to be effective therapy for patients with ER-positive breast cancer. This is the first time ZB716 will be administered to humans. The principal aim of this study is to obtain safety and tolerability data when ZB716 is administered orally as monotherapy and in combination with palbociclib to subjects with ER-positive, HER2 negative advanced breast cancer. This information, together with the PK data, will help establish the doses and dosing regimen suitable for future studies in patients. The PD effect of ZB716 on the select biomarkers for cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 induction (4β hydroxycholesterol) and expression of ER, PgR, and Ki67 will also be investigated. The effect of ZB716 on antitumor activity as measured by objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), duration of response (DOR), and PFS rate will also be investigated. The study will also investigate the effects of food on the PK of ZB716 monotherapy. Read Less

This is a phase 2, open-label, single-arm trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in combination with pembrolizumab following disease progression after two prior lines of standard therapy in unresectable metastatic stage IV breast cancer Read Less

This will be a single arm, open label pilot to test the combination of dapagliflozin, a commercially available SGLT-2 inhibitor, in combination with alpelisib + fulvestrant in patients with HR+/HER2- mBC. The objective of this study is to determine if the addition of dapagliflozin to the combination of alpelisib and fulvestrant leads to significant reduction in all-grade hyperglycemia. Read Less
