Study summary

This is an international, multisite, open-label, Phase 1b/2 study, to confirm safety and efficacy of samuraciclib in combination with elacestrant in adult participants with metastatic or locally advanced Hormone Receptor (HR) positive and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (HER)2-negative breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a multiple cohort study, an initial dose escalation phase is designed to confirm the safe dose of samuraciclib in combination with elacestrant. A Safety Review Committee (SRC) will monitor the safety, tolerability, and PK data during this phase. Once ascertained, an expansion cohort will be opened to explore the efficacy of samuraciclib in combination with elacestrant.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Phase 1b (Dose-finding)

    Identification of Samuraciclib + Elacestrant combination, Phase 2, expansion dose level. Incidence and severity of adverse events as graded by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.0. Safety will be assessed by monitoring treatment - emerged severe and dose limiting adverse events and clinically relevant changes in vital signs and clinical laboratory results

    Time frame: From the date of first dose of any study intervention (Day 1 Cycle 1) and through 28 days after the last dose of any study intervention

  2. Phase 2 (Expansion)

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of first dose of IMP (Cycle 1 Day 1) to the date of the first documentation of objective progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: From the date of first dose of any study intervention (Cycle 1 Day 1) until the first documentation of disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or start of new anticancer therapy (assessed up to week 48)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events and Laboratory Abnormalities (Safety and Tolerability)

    Type, incidence, severity (as graded by CTCAE v5.0), seriousness and relationship to study medications of AEs and any laboratory abnormalities. Safety will be assessed by monitoring adverse events and clinically relevant changes in vital signs and clinical laboratory results.

    Time frame: From the date of first dose of any study intervention through 28 days after the last dose of any study intervention

  2. Clinical Benefit Response (CBR)

    CBR is defined as the overall complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) ≥ 24 weeks according to RECIST version 1.1 recorded from enrolment until disease progression, or death due to any cause.

    Time frame: From the date of first dose of any study intervention (Cycle 1 Day 1) to ≥ 24 weeks or until disease progression or death to any cause (assessed up to week 24)

  3. Overall response rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with a reduction in tumor burden with CR or PR according to RECIST version 1.1. ORR will be estimated for participants who received at least 1 dose of IMP, had measurable disease at baseline and had a postbaseline tumor assessment.

    Time frame: the date of first dose of study intervention (Cycle 1 Day 1) until the first documentation of disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or start of new anticancer therapy (assessed up to week 48)

  4. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR is defined as the time from the date of first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to the earliest documented disease progression per RECIST version 1.1

    Time frame: From the date of first dose of study intervention (Cycle 1 Day 1) until the first documentation of disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or start of new anticancer therapy (assessed up to week 48)

  5. Best percent change in tumor size.

    Best percent change in tumor size is defined as the percentage change in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions

    Time frame: From the date of first dose of study intervention (Cycle 1 Day 1) until the first documentation of disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or start of new anticancer therapy (assessed up to week 48)

  6. Samuraciclib plasma exposure: Cmax

    Plasma concentration for Samuraciclib

    Time frame: Day 1 of Cycles 1 and Cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)

  7. Elacestrant exposure: Cmax

    Plasma concentrations for Elacestrant

    Time frame: Day 1 of Cycles 1 and Cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)

  8. Samuraciclib plasma exposure: Ctrough

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 2 and 15; Day 2 of Cycle 2; Day 1 of Cycles 3-6 and end of treatment within 28 days of last dose of IMP and prior to the initiation of a new anticancer therapy (each cycle is 28 days)]

  9. Elacestrant exposure: Ctrough

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 2 and Day 15; Cycle 2 Day 2 of Cycle 2 and Day 1 of Cycles 3-6 and at end of treatment within 28 days of the last dose of IMP and prior to the initiation of a new anticancer therapy (each cycle is 28 days)

  10. Genotyping for ESR1 and TP53 mutations

    Genotyping for ESR1 and TP53 mutations to evaluate correlations between ESR1 and TP53 mutations and efficacy/safety findings

    Time frame: Screening
