Fulvestrant, Ipatasertib and CDK4/6 Inhibition in Metastatic ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer Patients Without ctDNA Suppression

Randomised Phase II Study of Induction Fulvestrant and CDK4/6 Inhibition With the Addition of Ipatasertib in Metastatic ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer Patients Without ctDNA Suppression


Sponsor

Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust

Enrollment

324 participants

Start Date

Dec 28, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Analysis of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) found in a patient's peripheral blood can identify cancer progression and predict a patient's response to therapy. By using ctDNA analysis and imaging techniques, the FAIM trial aims to determine whether the addition of the experimental drug ipatasertib to a standard combination of the hormone treatment fulvestrant and the targeted agent palbociclib increases progression free survival (PFS) for patients with hormone-receptor positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer.

  • Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min on the basis of the Cockcroft-Gault glomerular filtration rate estimation.
  • INR \<1.5 x ULN and aPTT \<1.5 x ULN. Patients requiring formal anticoagulation should receive either low-molecular weight heparin or a direct oral anticoagulant.
  • Fasting glucose ≤150mg/dL and HbA1c ≤7.5%.
  • Negative serum pregnancy test at screening (females of childbearing potential).
  • Patients able to have children must agree to use two highly effective methods of contraception throughout the study and for 2 years after last dose of fulvestrant and at least two years after last dose. Patients must additionally agree to refrain from donating eggs during this period.
  • Signed and dated informed consent.
  • Patients willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other procedures.
  • Pre/peri-menopausal patients must be treated with GnRH agonist beginning at least 7 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1 and continuing every 28 days for the duration of study treatment.

Exclusion Criteria29

  • Prior use of AKT inhibitor (any setting).
  • History of malabsorption syndrome or other condition that would interfere with enteral absorption or results in the inability or unwillingness to swallow pills.
  • Systemic chemotherapy within 14 days prior to study entry.

  • Patients with known leptomeningeal disease, symptomatic brain metastases requiring steroids, untreated brain metastases or spinal cord compression.
  • Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac repolarization abnormality including any of the following:
  • History of angina pectoris, symptomatic pericarditis, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or myocardial infarction within 12 months prior to study entry.
  • Known (documented) cardiomyopathy, i.e known left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50% (ECHO or MUGA not needed specifically for this trial).
