Clinical Trial Summary

This phase Ib/II tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of icosapent ethyl in combination with dasatinib and whether they work to shrink tumors in patients with triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer is a type of inflammatory breast cancer in which the tumor cells do not have estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, or large amounts of HER2/neu protein on their surface. Dasatinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply, which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Icosapent ethyl is an omega-3 fatty acid and in a class of medications called antilipemic or lipid-regulating agents. It may decrease the amount of triglycerides and other fats made in the liver. Preclinical studies have suggested that it may reduce the growth of triple negative inflammatory breast cancer cells. Combination therapy with dasatinib and icosapent ethyl may help shrink tumors in patients with triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of icosapent ethyl (EPA) and dasatinib in patients with metastatic triple negative inflammatory breast cancer (mTN-IBC). (Phase 1b) II. To determine the overall response rate (ORR) of EPA and dasatinib therapy in patients with mTN-IBC. (Phase 2) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the clinical benefit rate (CBR) of EPA and dasatinib therapy in patients with mTN-IBC. II. To determine progression-free survival (PFS) at 1 year for patients with mTN-IBC who were enrolled in the study and received EPA and dasatinib therapy. III. To determine overall survival (OS) at 2 years for patients with mTN-IBC who were enrolled in the study and received EPA and dasatinib therapy. IV. To determine the induction of apoptosis by EPA and dasatinib therapy. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the effect of EPA and dasatinib therapy on the expression of cholesterol transporter. II. To determine the relationship between the expression of EphA2 and the treatment response to EPA and dasatinib therapy. III. To determine the change in Ki67 by EPA and dasatinib therapy. IV. To evaluate the change in cholesterol homeostasis and tumor membrane rigidity after EPA and dasatinib therapy. V. To investigate the effect of EPA and dasatinib therapy on the systemic inflammation. OUTLINE: This is a phase Ib dose-escalation study of icosapent ethyl in combination with fixed dose dasatinib, followed by a phase II study. Patients receive icosapent ethyl orally (PO) twice daily (BID) and dasatinib PO once daily (QD) in each treatment cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of the study treatment, patients will undergo in-clinic post-treatment evaluations 1 month after their last study treatment or before starting new treatment, whichever occurs first, subsequently, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years.

Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of dasatinib in combination with EPA in patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status: 0-2 - Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL - Platelets >= 100,000/mcL - Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) - Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 2.5 x institutional ULN - Creatinine =< 1.5 x institutional ULN - Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 unless data exists supporting safe use at lower kidney function values, no lower than 30 mL/min/1.73 m^2 - Patients with distant metastasis and/or local recurrence accessible for biopsy. Metastasis to brain, lung, and bone will be considered not accessible for safety reasons - Negative serum or urine pregnancy test for subjects with childbearing potential - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial - For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated - Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load - Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial - Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be of class 2B or better - The effects of dasatinib on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 3 months after completion of dasatinib administration - Patients who are currently on bisphosphonate therapy should be able to temporarily stop bisphosphonate therapy for the duration of the study pending assessment of the need for calcium supplementation - Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Participants with impaired decision-making capacity (IDMC) who have a legally-authorized representative (LAR) and/or family member available will also be eligible Exclusion Criteria: - Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks (3 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study - Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents - History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to dasatinib or icosapent ethyl or any of its components (tocopherol, gelatin, glycerin, maltitol, and sorbitol) or other agents used in study - Patients who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapies, (i.e., have residual toxicities > grade 1) with the exception of alopecia - Patients with known active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Change in expression of cholesterol transporter ABCA1 will be measured not only in tumor cells but also in immune cells, especially in M1 and M2 macrophages since ABCA1 is known to promote cholesterol efflux in macrophages. The intensity of the staining and percentage of stained cells will be scored by H-score following the formula: H Score = summation (1+i) pi, where i is the intensity score and pi is the percentage of cells with that intensity. H-score will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation and 95% confidence interval. Baseline up to end of cycle 2 (1 cycle = 28 days)
Other Change in expression of EphA2 EphA2-immunohistochemistry (IHC) positivity will be defined from 0 to 3+ by modifying the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) HER2 testing clinical practice guideline. After the completion of the phase 2 part, the association between 3 levels of EphA2-IHC expression (negative, equivocal, and positive) and ORR will be analyzed using Fisher's exact test and logistic regression. Baseline up to end of cycle 2 (1 cycle = 28 days)
Other Change in Ki67 Will be assessed and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Continuous value before/after treatment will be compared by utilizing the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and paired t-test. Baseline up to end of cycle 2 (1 cycle = 28 days)
Other Change in cholesterol homeostasis and tumor membrane rigidity Will be assessed and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Continuous value before/after treatment will be compared by utilizing the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and paired t-test. Baseline up to end of cycle 2 (1 cycle = 28 days)
Primary Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for dasatinib and icosapent ethyl (EPA) combination therapy (Phase 1b) MTD is selected based on isotonic regression. Specifically, the dose is selected as the MTD for which the isotonic estimate of the toxicity rate is closest to the target toxicity rate. If there are ties, the higher dose level is selected when the isotonic estimate is lower than the target toxicity rate; the lower dose level is selected when the isotonic estimate is greater than or equal to the target toxicity rate. Up to 2 years
Primary Overall response rate (ORR) of dasatinib and EPA combination therapy (Phase 2) Up to 2 years
Secondary Clinical benefit rate (CBR) Will be the proportion of the patients with static disease (SD) >= 24 weeks, complete response (CR), and partial response (PR). CBR will be estimated along with a 95% exact confidence interval. Up to 2 years
Secondary Progression-free survival Defined as the rate of patients without the progression of disease or loss to follow-up at 1 year after initiating the EPA and dastinib combination therapy. Will be estimated using the methods of Kaplan and Meier. At 1 year
Secondary Overall survival Defined as the survival rate at 2 years after initiating the EPA and dasatinib combination therapy. Will be estimated using the methods of Kaplan and Meier. At 2 years
Secondary Induction of tumor apoptosis Tumor apoptosis will be measured by using the Luminex Apoptosis multiplex immunoassay panel (cleaved caspase-3) as well as TdT-Mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling (TUNEL) assay. After cycle 2 (1 cycle = 28 days)
