Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for
enrollment into the study:
1. Signed Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to participation in any study-related
activities.
2. Male or female patients = 18 years of age at the time of signing ICF.
3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1.
4. Life expectancy of = 16 weeks.
5. Histologically confirmed HER2-positive breast cancer according to American
Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists (ASCO/CAP)
guidelines 2018 based on local testing on the most recent analyzed biopsy.
Note: Central confirmation of HER2-positive status is not required for study
entry. However, tissue blocks, or slides, must be submitted to confirm HER2
positivity by a Sponsor-designated central laboratory retrospectively.
6. Tumors may be estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PgR) positive or
negative.
7. Disease progression after last systemic therapy documented by computerized
tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Note: Exclusive tumor marker elevation will not be considered sufficient for
diagnosis of disease progression.
8. Centrally confirmed low affinity CD16A germline genotype (F/F or F/V).
9. Measurable disease as per RECIST v.1.1 criteria.
10. Have received treatment with at least one, and no more than three, HER2-targeting
treatment regimens overall for unresectable locally advanced or MBC. Earlier
adjuvant or neoadjuvant HER2-targeted therapy for more limited disease will be
considered as one of the required prior regimens if the development of
unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease occurred within a 6-month
period of time after completion of anti-HER2 therapy. In any case, patients must
have received prior treatment with any anti-HER2 antibody drug conjugate (ADC) in
the (neo)adjuvant or metastatic setting.
Note: Eligible patients must have progressed on or following, the most recent
line of therapy. Dose interruptions, delays, pauses during previous therapy, or
changes in therapy to manage toxicity will not constitute a new line of therapy
provided disease progression did not occur.
11. Willingness and ability to provide a tumor biopsy at study entry and after
progression from either metastatic or primary tissues in order to perform
exploratory studies. If not feasible, patient eligibility should be evaluated by
a Sponsor's qualified designee.
Note: Subjects for whom tumor biopsy cannot be obtained (e.g., inaccessible tumor
or subject safety concern) may submit archival pathological material from either
metastatic or primary sites, but the most recent tumor biopsy from the patient
should be obtained when available at both timepoints.
12. Central nervous system (CNS) metastases inclusion; based on screening brain
imaging (CT or MRI), patients must have one of the following:
1. No evidence of brain metastases;
2. Untreated and asymptomatic CNS metastases not needing immediate local
therapy. Patients with untreated lesions >2.0 cm on screening contrast brain
MRI, require analysis and approval from the medical monitor prior to
enrollment.
3. Patients with history of CNS lesions assessable by RECIST v1.1 are eligible
if they have been definitively treated with local therapy, are
non-progressing, and off anticonvulsants and steroids. A specific washout
period from the end of local therapy for CNS lesions to the first dose of
study treatment is mandatory (one week for stereotactic radiosurgery, three
weeks for whole brain radiation therapy, and four weeks for surgical
resection).
13. Resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior anti-cancer therapy to grade = 1
as determined by the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for
Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.5.0 criteria (except for alopecia or other toxicities
not considered a safety risk for the patient at Investigator's discretion).
14. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of >50% as assessed by echocardiogram
(ECHO) or multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) scan documented within 28 days
prior to first dose of study treatment.
15. Adequate hematologic and organ function within 28 days before the first study
treatment on Cycle 1 Day 1, defined by the following:
1. Hematological: White blood cell (WBC) count > 3.0 x 109/L, absolute
neutrophil count (ANC) > 1.5 x 109/L, platelet count = 100 x 103/µL
(patients with stable platelet count from 75-100 x 103/µL may be included
with approval by the medical monitor), and hemoglobin (Hb) > 9.0 g/dL.
2. Hepatic: Serum albumin = 3 g/dL; Total bilirubin = 1.5 times the upper limit
of normal (× ULN) (= 3 x ULN in the case of Gilbert's disease); aspartate
transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) = 2.5 × ULN (in the case
of liver metastases = 5 × ULN); alkaline phosphatase (ALP) = 2.5 × ULN (= 5
× ULN in the case of liver and/or bone metastases).
3. Renal: Serum creatinine < 1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance = 50 mL/min
based on Cockcroft-Gault glomerular filtration rate estimation.
4. International normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin
time (aPTT) = 1.5 x ULN unless on medication known to alter INR and/or aPTT.
16. For women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at
1 week prior to the start of treatment and a further confirmation test on Day 1
(C1D1) before receiving the first dose, and must agree to remain abstinent
(refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or to use a medically acceptable method
of contraception during the study and up to 7 months after the last dose of study
drug, and agree to refrain from donating eggs during this same period.
17. Men with female partners of childbearing potential must remain abstinent or use a
medically acceptable method of contraception during the treatment period and up
to 7 months after the last dose of study drug.
