A Phase 2 interventional study of Tucatinib in Combination of Oral VP16 and trastuzumab in HER2-positive Breast Cancer, sponsored by Institut Curie. Recruiting at 13 sites in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-03-27.
Sponsored by Institut Curie · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
This is an open-label, multicenter, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics of the combination of tucatinib-Oral VP16-trastuzumab in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (HER2+ MBC) after progression on tucatinib-capecitabine-trastuzumab or capecitabine-related toxicity.
This is an open-label, multicenter, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics of the combination of tucatinib-Oral VP16-trastuzumab in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (HER2+ MBC) after progression on tucatinib-capecitabine-trastuzumab or capecitabine-related toxicity.
The study has two sequential parts:
In part 1, a D-dose is evaluated; only in case of unacceptable toxicity at the D-dose, a D-1 dose will be investigated.
In part 2, patients will be treated with oral VP16 at the dose recommended in part 1.
Dose reductions will be allowed on subsequent cycles in case of toxicity.
All enrolled patients will receive the combination of tucatinib, oral VP16, trastuzumab until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, and withdrawal of patient consent, investigator decision, and loss to follow-up, death, patient non-compliance, or discontinuation of the study by the sponsor.
Tumor assessments should be performed according to RECIST v1.1 criteria at baseline and every 6 weeks (± 7 days) for the first 24 weeks, then every 9 weeks (± 7 days) until documented disease progression, withdrawal of consent, or death.
12,543 studies on the registry are indexed under Breast Neoplasms; 2,892 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 66 is close to the median of 72 across 9,302 interventional studies indexed under Breast Neoplasms.

o Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 X 10\^9/L
o Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL
o Platelet count ≥ 100 X 10\^9/L

Patients must be postmenopausal, surgically infertile, or willing to use a physical barrier method of contraception in addition to an intrauterine device or hormonal contraception until at least 6 months after completion of study treatment,

Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.
Exclusion Criteria:
Have previously been treated with:
a. lapatinib within 12 months of starting study treatment (except in cases where lapatinib was given for ≤ 21 days and was discontinued for reasons other than disease progression or severe toxicity) b. neratinib, afatinib, or other investigational HER2/ EGFR or HER2 TKI at any time previously (excepted for patients already under tucatinib who continue without interruption).
Any toxicity related to prior cancer therapies that has not resolved to ≤ Grade 1 at time of treatment start, with the following exceptions:
Have a serious concomitant systemic disorder (eg, active infection or a gastrointestinal disorder causing clinically significant symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or profound immune suppression) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the patient's ability to adhere to the protocol, including but not limited to the following:
Have clinically significant cardiopulmonary disease such as:
-
The safety run in part will be a safety evaluation including 6 patients at dose D of Oral VP16 per day, trastuzumab 600mg SC flat dose or 6mg/kg IV every 3 weeks and tucatinib 300mg PO BID. The evaluable population for DLT in this Part 1 is defined as patients who have completed the first 2 cycles of treatment (i.e.6 weeks) and received 100% of the planned dose of tucatinib-Oral VP16-trastuzumab.Patients treated at Dose Recommended during the safety run-in part will be considered as evaluable for the part II.
Drug: Tucatinib in Combination of Oral VP16 and trastuzumab
Combination of tucatinib-Oral VP16-trastuzumab
Objective response rate (ORR
The objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the best response defined as complete or partial response occurring within the first 6 months of treatment, assessed by the investigators (according to RECIST v1.1 criteria)
Time frame: 6 months
Serious adverse events
Serious adverse events (SAEs)according to NCI CTCAE v5.0, by grade and their relationship to tucatinib-Oral VP16-trastuzumab.
Time frame: From inclusion until 30 days after the last dose of IMP, up to 24 months
Adverse events
Adverse events (AEs) according to NCI CTCAE v5.0, by grade and their relationship to tucatinib-Oral VP16-trastuzumab.
Time frame: From inclusion until 30 days after the last dose of IMP, up to 24 months
Progression free survival
Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of inclusion until progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator at local site or death due to any cause. The measure of interest is the median PFS
Time frame: From inclusion until Progression or Death, up to 24 months
Overall survival
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from inclusion to the date of death due to any cause. The measure of interest is the median OS (if reached).
Time frame: From inclusion until Progression or Death, up to 24 months
Duration of response
Duration of response (DoR) as defined as the time from the date of first documented response until date of documented progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator at local site or death due to any cause. The measure of interest is the median DoR
Time frame: From inclusion until Progression or Death, up to 24 months
Time to response
Time to response (TTR) as defined as the time from the start of treatment to the first ORR observed for patients who achieved a CR or PR. The measure of interest is the median TTR.
Time frame: 6 months
Clinical benefit rate
Clinical benefit rate (CBR) is defined as the percentage of patients with CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) according to RECIST 1.1, as assessed by the investigator at the local site. The measure of interest is CBR at 24 weeks
Time frame: 6 months
EQ-5D-5L scale
The measure of interest is the mean difference in the change from baseline in EQ-5D-5L scale. Time to deterioration in pain, physical functioning, role functioning and global health status/QoL. The EQ VAS score is rated on a scale of 0-100 points. 0 points correspond to the worst possible health status
Time frame: From inclusion until Progression or Death, up to 24 months
