Filter by:This is a single-arm, open-label, phase Ib study. In this trial, patients with Triple Negative (TN) Advanced Breast Cancer (ABC) will be treated with increasing doses of LDE225 (sonidegib) and docetaxel to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) and Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) of the combination. Eligible patients with hormonal receptors negative and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) negative ABC will be included and treated with docetaxel intravenously in every three weeks cycles. LDE225 will be administered orally at three dose levels 400, 600 and 800mg one a day (QD) (a -1 dose level is included just in case dose de-escalation is needed). Treatment will be repeated on day 1 of a 21-day cycle until radiographic or symptomatic progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdraws informed consent. The investigators propose to develop a phase Ib trial with the combination of docetaxel with LDE225 in TN ABC patients to define the safety, tolerability and RP2D, as well as to have some information about the efficacy of the combination.
Background: - The poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family of enzymes is critical for maintaining genomic stability by regulating a variety of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage repair mechanisms. - Talazoparib (BMN 673) is a PARP inhibitor with greater in vitro activity than any other PARP inhibitor currently in development. BMN 673 has been shown to cause single-agent synthetic lethality in breast cancer 1 and breast cancer 2 (BRCA1/2)- and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-deficient cell lines and has potent antitumor activity in animal models of tumors harboring mutations in DNA repair pathways. - BMN 673 is showing promising single-agent activity in patients with advanced ovarian and breast cancer harboring deleterious BRCA mutations. - This pilot study will evaluate the pharmacodynamic effects of BMN 673 on DNA damage and apoptosis markers in tumor biopsy tissue. Primary Objective: -Determine the pharmacodynamic effect of BMN 673 in tumor biopsies from patients with advanced ovarian, breast, or other solid tumor and deleterious BRCA mutations. Secondary Objectives: - Determine the response rate (Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) of treatment with BMN 673 in patients with advanced ovarian or primary peritoneal carcinoma and deleterious BRCA mutations. - Determine the response rate (CR + PR) of treatment with BMN 673 in patients with advanced breast carcinoma and deleterious BRCA mutations. - Determine the response rate (CR + PR) of treatment with BMN 673 in patients with advanced solid tumor (other than breast or ovarian) and deleterious BRCA mutations. Eligibility: - Adult patients with documented deleterious BRCA 1 or 2 mutations with histologically confirmed ovarian, primary peritoneal, breast, prostate, pancreas, gastric or other solid tumor whose disease has progressed following at least one standard therapy or who have no acceptable standard treatment options. - No major surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy within 4 weeks prior to study enrollment, and recovered from toxicities of prior therapies to at least eligibility levels. - Age greater than or equal to 18 years of age; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status less than equal to 2 - Adequate organ function. - Willingness to undergo tumor biopsies. Study Design: - BMN 673 will be administered orally each day in 28-day cycles. - Dosing will be at the established recommended Phase II dose of 1000 mcg/day each day for 28 days. - We plan to accrue a total of 12 evaluable patients per cohort for a total of 36 patients. To allow for some patients who will not be evaluable, the accrual ceiling is 42 patients. - Tumor biopsies will be mandatory at baseline (pre-dose), and then approximately 3-6 hours post BMN 673 on day 8. An optional tumor biopsy may also be collected at time of disease progression. SCHEMA - BMN 673 is administered orally each day in 28-day cycles - Tumor biopsies will be performed at baseline (pre-treatment) and 3-6 hrs post dose on cycle 1 day 8. An optional tumor biopsy may also be collected at time of disease progression. Tumor biopsies will be evaluated for protease activated receptor (PAR) levels, DNA damage response markers such as >=H2A.X Variant Histone (H2AX), cleaved caspase 3, excision repair cross-complementing group 1 (ERCC1), pNbs1, XPF, RAD51, and pT1989ATR, and, as indicators of ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR)/ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) activation, Checkpoint kinase 1 (chk1) and Checkpoint kinase 2 (chk2) - Blood samples for circulating tumor cells (CTC) analyses will be collected at baseline (pre-treatment), on cycle 1 day 1(3-6 hours post dose), on cycle 1 day 8 (3-6 hours post dose), and on cycle 2 day 1 (3-6 hours post dose) - Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis will be collected on cycle 1 day 1 pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6,8, and 24 hours post-dose, on cycle 1 day 8 (3-6 hours post dose), and on cycle 2 day 1 pre-dose and 3-6 hours post dose.
Standard of care: Treatment with Trastuzumab Experimental: 21-Day Cycle of Combination therapy with T-DM1 intravenously on Day 1 and oral PD-0332991 on Days 5-18 Study Design and Methodology: This is a phase 1B inter-patient dose escalation study of PD-0332991 in combination with T-DM1 in patients with recurrent or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer after prior trastuzumab or other HER2-directed therapies. The subjects will be administered T-DM1 by intravenous infusion at 3.6 mg/kg for 90 minutes on day 1 of each 21 day cycle. Infusion timing may vary from 30-90 minutes depending on how well the subject tolerates the treatment. A standard 3+3 trial design will be used for PD-0332991 dose escalation cohorts.The dosing of PD-0332991 will be divided into 3 cohorts, the subjects will receive PD-0332991 on days 5-18 of each 21 day cycle. Cohort 1 : PD-0332991 - 100 mg daily (oral) Cohort 2 : PD-0332991 - 150 mg daily (oral) Cohort 3 : PD-0332991 - 200 mg daily (oral) The 3+3 design entails that if one patient out of the first three patients has a DLT, up to three additional patients will be entered at that dose level Treatment cycles will continue until disease progression or withdrawal from study.
This research study will examine how patients with advanced breast cancer and their oncology team communicate and plan ongoing care.The purpose of this study is to find out more about care planning during advanced breast cancer. The study will see if certain aspects of communication make a difference in how patients understand their illness.
This is a study of an experimental drug (neratinib) versus a combination of drugs (lapatinib and capecitabine) in women who have erbB-2 (HER-2) positive metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer. The goal of this study is to compare the two regimens in shrinking tumors and extending the lives of women with erbB2 (HER2) positive breast cancer. The study will also compare the safety of the two regimens and to compare quality of life of patients taking the two regimens.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effect the combination of fulvestrant (Faslodex) and dasatinib (Sprycel) has on advanced breast cancer compared to fulvestrant alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety profile, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), of oral vorinostat in combination with oral capecitabine given on days 1-7 and 15-21 of a 28 day cycle in patients with advanced breast cancer, using RECIST criteria. This study was originally intended to be a phase 1/phase 2. The protocol was amended to make this study a phase 1 only.
The main purpose of this study is to compare the effect of 2 doses of FASLODEX with 1 dose of ARIMIDEX in terms of time to tumor progression in postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer.
To evaluate Arimidex 6 month therapy as an adjuvant treatment in postmenopausal patients with advanced breast cancer in whom a partial or complete response or stabilized disease were obtained with first line chemotherapy, by tumoral response assessment.
The primary goal of therapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer is palliation and prolongation of life with quality. Although there are no randomized trials comparing chemotherapy with supportive care in women with metastatic breast cancer, chemotherapy clearly provides a survival benefit in metastatic breast cancer. Due to diagnosis at earlier phases of metastatic disease and more effective therapies, the median survival of patients treated with modern taxane-based chemotherapy is now reaching approximately 2 years. The duration of chemotherapy in patients responding or stable disease remains controversial, since quality of life is not usually adversely affected and may even be improved in many patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy. In addition, many commonly used chemotherapeutic agents are not limited by cumulative toxicity in metastatic breast cancer patients. Several studies investigated the role of maintenance chemotherapy suggest that maintenance chemotherapy is associated with superior time to progression but no survival gain. However, these randomized trials did not incorporate taxane-based chemotherapeutic regimens, the new standard of care in metastatic breast cancer patients these days. A 1998 metaanalysis of 1,986 patients randomly assigned between combination chemotherapy and single-agent therapy in metastatic breast cancer patients demonstrated a survival advantage to combination chemotherapy, with a hazard ratio of 0.82 (range, 0.75 to 0.90). Although there are several randomized trials showing negative results for survival gain in patients who received maintenance chemotherapy, the role of maintenance chemotherapy with newer agents, such as docetaxel or paclitaxel, have not been established yet. Although Italian MANTA trial demonstrated no difference in PFS or survival between the two arms, their metaanalysis advocated survival benefit of maintenance therapy. Since gemcitabine/paclitaxel (GP) combination chemotherapy is one of the two regimens which showed definite survival gain with favorable toxicity from a randomized trial, we plan to randomize patients who responded to six cycles of GP induction chemotherapy to receive additional maintenance GP chemotherapy until disease progression versus observation. We hypothesize that patients who receive maintenance GP chemotherapy will do better in terms of progression free survival.
