A Study of Debio 1347 Plus Fulvestrant in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2021-08-12
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of a phase Ib study is to find out the best or maximum tolerated dose of a medication or combination of medications. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to decide the best dose of the study drug, Debio 1347, that can be given in combination with the standard hormonal drug, fulvestrant. Debio 1347 and fulvestrant could shrink the cancer but it could also cause side effects. This study tells us about the side effects of these drugs when given in this new combination, and how often they occur.

• Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

• Patients with "treated and stable" brain lesions for a duration of > 4 weeks may be enrolled.

• Female subjects of childbearing potential should have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication and agree to use effective contraception. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required. Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred contraception for the subject.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Prior Fulvestrant for metastatic breast cancer will be allowed for phase 1 portion but not for the phase 2 portion

• History of hypersensitivity to any of the excipients in the Debio 1347 formulation (lactose hydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate, and magnesium stearate).
