Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase II study designed to assess efficacy and safety of talazoparib, high dose radiation, and atezolizumab in patients with metastatic TNBC that is PD-L1 positive. A total of 23 gBRCA pathogenic variant negative patients will be enrolled. All patients will be treated with induction talazoparib of 1mg PO daily starting Day 1. Patients will then receive 8 Gy x 3 fractions to 2-4 metastatic lesions beginning Day 12,13, or 14 and given QOD. 840 mg of atezolizumab will be given intravenously (IV) on Day 15 of the 1st cycle and then on Day 1 and Day 15 of the remaining cycles. The sequence of administration is not specified on the days in which talazoparib and atezolizumab are given on the same day. Each cycle equals 28 days. Treatment will continue until progression or severe toxicity.

A safety lead in of up to 6 patients will be performed. Immune-related and non-immune related adverse events will be tracked up to 12 weeks post initiation of atezolizumab, as the majority of treatment-related toxicities from talazoparib, radiation, and atezolizumab occur within this time period.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST [8 weeks]

      ORR by RECIST which will include confirmed complete response (CR) + confirmed partial response (PR) determined as per RECIST

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Frequency and severity of adverse events [1 year]

      Assessment of the frequency and severity of adverse events will be based on CTCAE criteria v5

    2. Progression free survival (PFS) [1 year]

      Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the day of study treatment initiation until disease progression by RECIST 1.1 or death whichever occurs first.

    3. Overall survival (OS) [1 year]

      Overall survival (OS) is defined as the day of study treatment initiation until death from any cause.

    4. ORR by immune-related RECIST (irRECIST) [1 year]

      ORR by immune-related RECIST (irRECIST) which will include confirmed complete response (CR) + confirmed partial response (PR) determined as per irRECIST

    5. Duration of overall response (DOR) [1 year]

      Duration of overall response (DOR) is defined as the time that measurement criteria are met for complete or partial response (whichever status is recorded first) until the date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since treatment started).

    6. Disease control rate (DCR) [1 year]

      Disease control rate (DCR) is defined as the percentage of patients with advanced or metastatic cancer who have achieved complete response, partial response and stable disease.

    7. Time to progression (TTP) [1 year]

      Time to progression (TTP) is defined as the day of study treatment initiation until disease progression by RECIST 1.1.

    8. Best overall tumor response [1 year]

      Best overall tumor response is defined as the best response recorded from the start of the study treatment until disease progression/recurrence.

    9. Adherence to protocol prescribed study treatment [1 year]

      Adherence to prescribed talazoparib, high dose radiation, and atezolizumab in the second or third-line setting among PD-L1 positive mTNBC patients measured by intravenous infusion, oral medication, and radiation treatment compliance with prescribed systemic therapy and radiation dose and days of treatment.

    7. Patients must have at least 1 extracranial metastatic lesion (may be measurable or non-measurable disease by RECIST v 1.1) that is amenable to high dose radiotherapy and at least one additional extracranial lesion of measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1) that will not receive radiotherapy on this study. Of note, lesions maybe in the same organ but must be 2 cm apart and breast lesions may be treated.
