Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) Alpha iNhibition In Advanced Breast Cancer

Status:
Unknown status
Trial end date:
2018-12-01
Target enrollment:
0
Participant gender:
All
Summary
This is a phase II, exploratory, open-label, single arm study of BYL719 monotherapy, a selective phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) alpha inhibitor, in adult patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer progressing after first line therapy. Patients with advanced hormone receptor positive tumors will be required to have an alteration of the PI3K pathway. Those patients with advanced triple negative breast cancers are genetically unselected for this study.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients eligible for inclusion in this study have to meet all of the following
criteria:

- Males and females of any menopausal status

- Patient has signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to any screening procedures
being performed and is able to comply with protocol requirements

- Age ≥ 18 years old

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-2 that the investigator believes is stable
at the time of screening

- Patient has locally recurrent (incurable) or metastatic disease

- Patient is able to swallow and retain oral medication

- Known HER2 status (local lab) that is negative on IHC (IHC=0) and/or non-amplified.

- Known estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status (local lab)

- Recent tumor tissue must be available from a metastatic or recurrent lesion for next
generation sequencing targeted gene panel

- Patients with TNBC disease (ER<1%, HER2-negative) should have documented progression
on at least one line of prior systemic therapy in the metastatic setting or within 12
months of adjuvant therapy completion. There is no limit on previous therapies. There
will be no molecular selection of these patients.

- Patients with ER-positive (ER≥1%, HER2-negative) disease should have documented
progression on at least one line of prior systemic endocrine therapy in the metastatic
setting. There is no limit on previous therapies. Prior everolimus is allowed.

- Patients are defined as "PI3K abnormal" if they have documented gene mutation in
AKT1,2,3,ALK, EGFR, ERBB2,3,4, HRAS, INPP4B, KRAS, NRAS, PTEN, PIK3CA, PIK3R1, PIK3R3,
PTEN or gene amplification in EGFR, PIK3CA, PIK3R1 or loss in PTEN and INPP4B as per a
next generation targeted gene sequencing panel

- Measurable disease by RECIST v 1.1 criteria or non- measurable disease that is
clinically evaluable (bone only disease allowed if evaluable)

- Patient has adequate bone marrow and organ function assessed within 72 hours prior to
first dose:

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L

- Platelets ≥ 100 x 10^9/L

- Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9.0 g/dL

- Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN

- Total serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (in patients with known Gilbert's syndrome, a total
bilirubin ≤ 3.0 x ULN with direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN)

- AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN (alternatively < 5 x ULN if evidence of liver metastases)

- Fasting blood glucose ≤ 140mg/dL or ≤ 7.8 mmol/L

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients eligible for this study must not meet any of the following criteria:

- Patient has a primary CNS tumor or CNS tumor involvement.

- However patients with metastatic CNS tumors may participate in this study if the
patient is:

- Four weeks from prior therapy completion (including radiation and surgery) to starting
study treatment

- Clinically stable with respect to the CNS tumor at the time of screening

- Not receiving steroid therapy

- Patient with diabetes mellitus (fasting glucose >120mg/dl or 6.7 mmol/L), or
documented steroid-induced diabetes mellitus

- Patient has a history of another malignancy within 2 years prior to starting study
treatment, except for cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin or excised carcinoma in
situ of the cervix.

- Patient who has not recovered to grade 1 or better (except alopecia) from related side
effects of any prior antineoplastic therapy

- Patient who has had systemic chemotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or
mitomycin C) prior to study entry.

- Patient who has received radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drugs, with
exception of palliative radiotherapy (≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drugs), who
has not recovered from side effects of such therapy to baseline or Grade ≤ 1 and/or
from whom ≥ 30% of the bone marrow was irradiated. Target lesions should not have had
previous irradiation unless have progressed post treatment.

- Patient who has undergone major surgery ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study treatment or
who has not recovered from side effects of such procedure.

- Patient has a clinically significant cardiac disease or impaired cardiac function,
such as:

- Congestive heart failure (CHF) requiring treatment (New York Heart Association (NYHA)
Grade ≥ 2), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50% as determined by
multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO)

- History or current evidence of clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias, atrial
fibrillation and/or conduction abnormality, e.g. congenital long QT syndrome,
high-grade/complete AV-blockage

- Acute coronary syndromes (including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, coronary
artery bypass graft (CABG), coronary angioplasty, or stenting), < 3 months prior to
screening

- QT interval adjusted according to Fredericia (QTcF) > 480 msec on screening ECG.

- Patient who has any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions such as:

- Active or uncontrolled severe infection,

- Liver disease such as cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, and chronic hepatitis
(i.e. quantifiable HBV-DNA and/or positive HbsAg, quantifiable HCV-RNA)

- Known severely impaired lung function (spirometry and DLCO 50% or less of normal and
O2 saturation 88% or less at rest on room air)

- Active, bleeding diathesis;

- Uncontrolled arterial hypertension defined by blood pressure > 140/100 mm Hg at rest
(average of 3 consecutive readings 5 min apart)

- Chronic treatment with corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive agent

- Patient who is currently receiving medication with a known risk of prolonging the QT
interval or inducing Torsades de Pointes (TdP) and the treatment cannot either be
discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug
treatment.

- Patient who has participated in a prior investigational study within 30 days prior to
enrollment.

- Patient who is currently receiving treatment with drugs known to be moderate or strong
inhibitors or inducers of isoenzymes CYP34A or CYP2C8. The patient must have
discontinued moderate and strong inducers of both enzymes for at least one week and
must have discontinued strong and moderate inhibitors before the start of treatment.
Switching to a different medication prior to start of treatment is allowed; Refer to
Appendix 1
