OASIS: Oral SM-88 in Patients With Metastatic HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a phase II single arm, open-label study of SM-88 used with methoxsalen, phenytoin, and sirolimus (MPS) in metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer. It is designed to determine efficacy, defined as the objective response rate (ORR) of this investigational treatment. It is hypothesized that SM-88 used with MPS will lead to significant anti-tumor responses with acceptable toxicities in patients with metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer.

Detailed Description
This is a multicenter phase II single arm trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of SM-88 plus three subtherapeutic conditioning agents (methoxsalen, phenytoin, and sirolimus [MPS]) in patients with metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer. .
Thirty patients will be enrolled in first stage of the study, and if 3 or more patients have an objective response (complete or partial response) then an additional 20 patients will be enrolled in the second stage of the study. Patients will receive the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of SM-88 (460 mg by mouth [PO] twice a day [BID] D1 - 28) as well as three conditioning agents (MPS): methoxsalen (10 mg PO daily [Qd] D1 - 28), phenytoin (50 mg PO Qd D1 - 28), and sirolimus (0.5 mg PO Qd D1 - 28).
Assessment of efficacy will be conducted every 3 cycles (approximately every 12 weeks) with CT chest/abdomen/pelvis using RECIST v1.1 criteria. Safety including clinic visits, and exams will occur every 4 weeks on Day 1 of each cycle. Laboratory testing will be performed every 2 weeks for the first 2 cycles and then on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle.

-
Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to phenytoin, its inactive ingredients, or other hydantoins; or a history of prior acute hepatotoxicity attributable to phenytoin.
-
Patients treated, or anticipated to be treated, with delavirdine (due to potential for loss of virologic response and possible resistance to delavirdine or to the class of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors caused by phenytoin).
-
Patients exhibiting idiosyncratic reactions to psoralen compounds.

-
Patients with cutaneous melanoma or invasive squamous cell carcinomas or a history thereof, except for those with stage 1A melanoma or in complete remission for ≥5 years (due to contraindication for use of methoxsalen).
-
Patients with a hypersensitivity to sirolimus. Sirolimus does cause immune suppression at the prescribed doses and physicians should note the drugs black box warning to exclude any patient they believe the other exclusion criteria does not reflect.
-
Patients with prior allogenic bone marrow transplant or solid organ transplant organ transplant or being treated, or anticipated to be treated, with cyclosporine (because long-term administration of the combination of cyclosporine and sirolimus is associated with deterioration of renal function).
-
Patients treated, or anticipated to be treated, with a calcineurin inhibitor (because concomitant use of sirolimus and a calcineurin inhibitor increases the risk of calcineurin inhibitor-induced hemolytic uremic syndrome/thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura/thrombotic microangiopathy [HUS/TTP/TMA]).
-
Current use of known strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4, CYP2C9 or CYP2C19 within 14 days of initiation of study drug. When possible these medications and grapefruit juice should be avoided for the duration of the study treatment and alternate therapies are preferred.
