Phase 1b clinical trial of ado-trastuzumab emtansine and ribociclib for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer are often treated with a multitude of therapies in the metastatic setting, and additional strategies to prolong responses to anti-HER2 therapies are needed. Preclinical evidence suggests synergy between cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK 4/6) inhibitors and anti-HER2 therapies. We conducted a phase 1b study of ribociclib and ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with advanced/metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane in any setting, with four or fewer prior lines of therapy in the metastatic setting. A standard 3 + 3 dose-escalation design was used to evaluate various doses of ribociclib in combination with T-DM1, starting at 300 mg. The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ribociclib in combination with T-DM1. A total of 12 patients were enrolled. During dose-escalation, patients received doses of ribociclib of 300 mg (n = 3), 400 mg (n = 3), 500 mg (n = 3), and 600 mg (n = 3). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed. The majority of toxicities were Grade 1 and 2, and the most common Grade 3 toxicities were neutropenia (33%), leukopenia (33%), and anemia (25%). After a median follow-up of 12.4 months, the median PFS was 10.4 months (95% confidence interval, 2.7-19.3). Based on the pharmacokinetic analysis, adverse events, and dose reductions, 400 mg was determined to be the RP2D for ribociclib given on days 8-21 of a 21-day cycle with T-DM1.

Project description:ImportanceTreatment options for patients with disease progression after treatment with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) are limited. Tucatinib is an oral, potent, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) being developed as a novel treatment for ERBB2/HER2-positive breast cancer.ObjectiveTo determine the maximum tolerated dosage of tucatinib in combination with T-DM1 in the treatment of patients with ERBB2/HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer with and without brain metastases.Design, setting, and participantsIn this phase 1b open-label, multicenter, clinical trial, 57 participants enrolled between January 22, 2014, and June 22, 2015, were 18 years of age or older with ERBB2/HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane. Data were analyzed between January and March 2018.InterventionsTucatinib 300 mg or 350 mg administered orally twice per day for 21 days and T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg administered intravenously once every 21 days.Main outcomes and measuresSafety assessments, pharmacokinetics, and response were assessed using RECIST 1.1 every 2 cycles for 6 cycles, followed by every 3 cycles.ResultsFifty-seven T-DM1-naive patients (median [IQR] 51 [44.0-63.0] years of age) who had undergone a median of 2 earlier HER2 therapies (range, 1-3) were treated. The tucatinib maximum tolerated dosage was determined to be 300 mg administered twice per day with dose-limiting toxic reactions seen at 350 mg twice per day. Pharmacokinetic analysis showed that there was no drug-drug interaction with T-DM1. Adverse events seen among the 50 patients treated at the maximum tolerated dosage regardless of causality included nausea (36 patients; 72%), diarrhea (30 patients; 60%), fatigue (28 patients; 56%), epistaxis (22 patients; 44%), headache (22 patients; 44%), vomiting (21 patients; 42%), constipation (21 patients; 42%), and decreased appetite (20 patients; 40%); the majority of adverse events were grade 1 or 2. Tucatinib-related toxic reactions that were grade 3 and above included thrombocytopenia (7 patients; 14%) and hepatic transaminitis (6 patients; 12%).Conclusions and relevanceIn this study, tucatinib in combination with T-DM1 appeared to have acceptable toxicity and to show preliminary antitumor activity among heavily pretreated patients with ERBB2/HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer with and without brain metastases.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01983501.

Project description:BackgroundPreclinical and clinical data support potential synergy between anti-HER2 therapy plus immune checkpoint blockade. The safety and tolerability of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) combined with pembrolizumab is unknown.MethodsThis was a single-arm phase Ib trial (registration date January 26, 2017) of T-DM1 plus pembrolizumab in metastatic, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. Eligible patients had HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer previously treated with taxane, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab, and were T-DM1-naïve. A dose de-escalation design was used, with a dose-finding cohort followed by an expansion cohort at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), with mandatory baseline biopsies. The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability. Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS). Immune biomarkers were assessed using histology, protein/RNA expression, and whole exome sequencing. Associations between immune biomarkers and treatment response, and biomarker changes before and during treatment, were explored.Results20 patients received protocol therapy. There were no dose-limiting toxicities. The RP2D was 3.6 mg/kg T-DM1 every 21 days plus 200 mg pembrolizumab every 21 days. 85% of patients experienced treatment-related adverse events (AEs) ≥grade 2, 20% of patients experienced grade 3 AEs, and no patients experienced grade >4 AEs. Four patients (20%) experienced pneumonitis (three grade 2 events; one grade 3 event). ORR was 20% (95% CI 5.7% to 43.7%), and median PFS was 9.6 months (95% CI 2.8 to 16.0 months). Programmed cell death ligand-1 and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes did not correlate with response in this small cohort.ConclusionsT-DM1 plus pembrolizumab was a safe and tolerable regimen. Ongoing trials will define if there is a role for checkpoint inhibition in the management of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.Trial registration numberNCT03032107.

Project description:BackgroundTrastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate incorporating the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted antitumor properties of trastuzumab with the cytotoxic activity of the microtubule-inhibitory agent DM1. The antibody and the cytotoxic agent are conjugated by means of a stable linker.MethodsWe randomly assigned patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer, who had previously been treated with trastuzumab and a taxane, to T-DM1 or lapatinib plus capecitabine. The primary end points were progression-free survival (as assessed by independent review), overall survival, and safety. Secondary end points included progression-free survival (investigator-assessed), the objective response rate, and the time to symptom progression. Two interim analyses of overall survival were conducted.ResultsAmong 991 randomly assigned patients, median progression-free survival as assessed by independent review was 9.6 months with T-DM1 versus 6.4 months with lapatinib plus capecitabine (hazard ratio for progression or death from any cause, 0.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.55 to 0.77; P<0.001), and median overall survival at the second interim analysis crossed the stopping boundary for efficacy (30.9 months vs. 25.1 months; hazard ratio for death from any cause, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.55 to 0.85; P<0.001). The objective response rate was higher with T-DM1 (43.6%, vs. 30.8% with lapatinib plus capecitabine; P<0.001); results for all additional secondary end points favored T-DM1. Rates of grade 3 or 4 adverse events were higher with lapatinib plus capecitabine than with T-DM1 (57% vs. 41%). The incidences of thrombocytopenia and increased serum aminotransferase levels were higher with T-DM1, whereas the incidences of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia were higher with lapatinib plus capecitabine.ConclusionsT-DM1 significantly prolonged progression-free and overall survival with less toxicity than lapatinib plus capecitabine in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane.

Project description:BackgroundNeoadjuvant dual human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) blockade with trastuzumab and pertuzumab plus paclitaxel leads to an overall pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of 46%. Dual HER2 blockade with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and lapatinib plus nab-paclitaxel has shown efficacy in patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. To test neoadjuvant effectiveness of this regimen, an open-label, multicenter, randomized, phase II trial was conducted comparing T-DM1, lapatinib, and nab-paclitaxel with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and paclitaxel in patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer.MethodsStratification by estrogen receptor (ER) status occurred prior to randomization. Patients in the experimental arm received 6 weeks of targeted therapies (T-DM1 and lapatinib) followed by T-DM1 every 3 weeks, lapatinib daily, and nab-paclitaxel weekly for 12 weeks. In the standard arm, patients received 6 weeks of trastuzumab and pertuzumab followed by trastuzumab weekly, pertuzumab every 3 weeks, and paclitaxel weekly for 12 weeks. The primary objective was to evaluate the proportion of patients with residual cancer burden (RCB) 0 or I. Key secondary objectives included pCR rate, safety, and change in tumor size at 6 weeks. Hypothesis-generating correlative assessments were also performed.ResultsThe 30 evaluable patients were well-balanced in patient and tumor characteristics. The proportion of patients with RCB 0 or I was higher in the experimental arm (100% vs. 62.5% in the standard arm, p = 0.0035). In the ER-positive subset, all patients in the experimental arm achieved RCB 0-I versus 25% in the standard arm (p = 0.0035). Adverse events were similar between the two arms.ConclusionIn early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer, the neoadjuvant treatment with T-DM1, lapatinib, and nab-paclitaxel was more effective than the standard treatment, particularly in the ER-positive cohort.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT02073487 , February 27, 2014.
