Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of exemestane on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of entinostat and to determine the effect of entinostat on the PK of exemestane in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. Additionally, this study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of entinostat in combination with exemestane, and assess the effectiveness of entinostat in combination with exemestane in terms of best overall response and overall survival.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

SNDX-275-0130 is a Phase 1, two-cohort, open-label, drug-drug interaction study of entinostat and exemestane. All patients will be enrolled into one of two cohorts to receive either entinostat monotherapy followed by entinostat plus exemestane (Cohort 1), or exemestane monotherapy followed by exemestane plus entinostat (Cohort 2).

The cohorts will enroll sequentially, meaning that Cohort 1 will enroll prior to Cohort 2. Cohort 1 will evaluate exemestane's effect on the PK of entinostat. Cohort 2 will evaluate entinostat's effect on the PK of exemestane. In both Cohorts, each treatment cycle will be 28 days. Patients will participate in only one cohort.

All patients will be assessed at Screening and at specified times during the conduct of the study using standard clinical and laboratory assessment. Patients will also be assessed for tumor response per standard of care after the Screening Period. Response to treatment will be assessed by computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bone scans as appropriate. Patients will continue receiving their appropriate cycles of study treatment until tumor progression or adverse events (AEs) occur which necessitate discontinuing therapy as determined by the Investigator.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Cohort 1

Cohort 1 will evaluate exemestane's effect on the PK of entinostat. Each treatment cycle is 28 days.

    Aromatase inhibitor
    Other Names:
  • Aromasin
  • FCE-24304
  • Active Comparator: Cohort 2

    Cohort 2 will enroll when Cohort 1 enrollment is complete. Cohort 2 will evaluate entinostat's effect on the PK of exemestane. Each treatment cycle is 28 days.

    Drug: entinostat
    An orally available histone deacetylases inhibitor (HDAC)
    Other Names:

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Cmax, maximum plasma concentration [Approximately 1 year]

    2. Tmax, time at which maximum plasma concentration was observed [Approximately 1 year]

    3. AUC0-t, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration [Approximately 1 year]

    4. AUC0-inf, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity [Approximately 1 year]

    5. T1/2, elimination half-life [Approximately 1 year]

    6. lambda z , apparent terminal phase elimination constant (λz) [Approximately 1 year]

    7. AUC0-τ where τ=168 hours for entinostat and τ=24 hours for exemestane [Approximately 1 year]

    8. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), AEs resulting in the permanent discontinuation of study drug, and deaths occurring within 30-days of the last dose of study drug [Approximately 1 year]

    9. Changes from baseline in laboratory, vital signs, and electrocardiogram (ECG) values [Approximately 1 year]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Best overall tumor response [Approximately 2 years]

    2. Overall survival [Approximately 2 years]
