Study of AZD9833 Alone or in Combination in Women With Advanced Breast Cancer.

Overview

A Phase 1 Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of AZD9833 Alone or in Combination in Women with ER Positive, HER2 Negative Advanced Breast Cancer (SERENA-1)

Description

This is a multicentre dose escalation and expansion, first-in-human study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AZD9833, alone (Parts A and B), or in combination with palbociclib (Parts C and D), or in combination with everolimus (Parts E and F), or in combination with abemaciclib (± anastrozole) (Parts G and H), or in combination with capivasertib (Parts I and J), or in combination with ribociclib (± anastrozole) (Parts K and L), or in combination with anastrozole (Parts M and N) in women with endocrine-resistant ER+ HER2- breast cancer that is not amenable to treatment with curative intent.

    Inclusion criteria for the paired tumour biopsy research

12. Disease suitable for paired baseline and on-study tumour biopsies
13. Washout from prior fulvestrant: 6 months
14. Washout from prior tamoxifen: 4 months
15. Signed written informed consent for tumour biopsies

Exclusion Criteria

1. Intervention with any of the following
   1. Any cytotoxic chemotherapy, investigational agents/other anti-cancer drugs for the treatment of advanced breast cancer from a previous treatment regimen or clinical study within 14 days of the first dose of IMP
   2. Concomitant medications or herbal supplements known to be strong inhibitors/inducers of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4/5, sensitive CYP2B6 substrates, and drugs which are sensitive substrates of CYP2C9 and/or CYP2C19, and which have a narrow therapeutic index. In addition: Parts E and F will exclude the concomitant use of moderate CYP3A4 and/or Pgp inhibitors; Parts G H, I, J, K and L will exclude the concomitant use of moderate CYP3A4/5 inhibitors and inducers; Parts I and J will exclude concomitant use of sensitive substrates of CYP3A4 and/or CYP2D6 with a narrow therapeutic index."
   3. Drugs known to prolong QT and known risk of Torsades de Pointes
   4. Radiotherapy with a limited field of radiation for palliation within 1 week of the first dose of IMP, except patients receiving radiotherapy to more than 30% of the bone marrow/a wide field of radiation within 4 weeks of the first dose of IMP
   5. Major surgical procedure/significant traumatic injury, as judged by the investigator, within 4 weeks of the first dose of IMP, or an anticipated need for major surgery and/or any surgery requiring general anaesthesia during the study.
2. Any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy > CTCAE Grade 1 at the time of starting

   IMP, with the exception of alopecia.

5. Currently symptomatic radiotherapy-induced pneumonitis (Parts E, F, K and L only)

Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, including uncontrolled hypertension and active bleeding diatheses, which in the investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial or which would jeopardise compliance with the protocol, or active infection including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

Patients with controlled atrial fibrillation can be enrolled c) Any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as symptomatic heart failure, hypokalaemia, congenital long QT syndrome, immediate family history of long QT syndrome, or unexplained sudden death at <40 years of age.
