Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of talectrectinib as treatment for Stage IV ILC with CDH1 mutation

Description:

Invasive lobular cancer (ILC) represents 10-15% of all breast cancers, up to 75% of ILCs carry a mutation in CDH1 gene which encodes for e-cadherin (ECAD), which is a cell adhesion glycoprotein. Preclinical data using patient derived xenografts have shown loss of ECAD due to CDH1 mutation is associated with an upregulation ROS1 activity, and ROS1 inhibitors have demonstrated synthetic lethality in CDH1-mutated cell lines. Taletrectinib is a novel ROS1/NTRK inhibitor with demonstrated activity in ROS1 mutated non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of the trial is to estimate the activity of taletrectinib in previously treated CDH1-mutated metastatic breast ILC.

Intervention

Drug:
• Taletrectinib
Taletrectinib (AB-106/DS-6051b) is a potent, highly selective, orally bioavailable ROS1 and TRK family inhibitor, which has activity against mutations conferring resistance to crizotinib including in vitro and in vivo against the acquired ROS1 G2032R solvent front mutation. Taletrectinib has been shown to have anti-tumor activity against recombinant ROS1, NTRK1, and NTRK3 in sub-nanomolar concentration in an ATP dependent manner, in addition to completely inhibiting ACK, ALK, DDR1 and LTK at micromolar concentrations. Anti-tumor activity of taletrectinib was observed in two ROS1 rearranged lung cancer cell lines, glioblastoma cell line, and in NTRK-rearranged colorectal cancer cell lines.

Secondary	Progression Free Survival Rate(PFS)	Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first.	Every 12 weeks until 180 days from EOT until death, withdrawal of informed consent, loss of follow-up or termination of the study by the sponsor, whichever occurs first.
