PATHFINDER: Ipatasertib Plus Non-Taxane Chemotherapy for Advanced or Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, open-label, non-comparative, three-arm, phase IIa trial of Ipatasertib (GDC-0068) in combination with non-taxane chemotherapy agents for taxane-pretreated unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer patients
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Women age ≥ 18 years with triple-negative unresectable locally advanced or MBC that is not amenable to resection with curative intent.
Patients must have received at least one, but not more than two, prior chemotherapeutic regimens for treatment of unresectable locally advanced and/or metastatic disease (at least one regimen must have contained a taxane).
The number of patients to be included is 54 patients. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ipatasertib (GDC-0068) in combination with capecitabine, eribulin, or carboplatin plus gemcitabine in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer

-
Measurable or evaluable disease as per RECIST v.1.1. Patients with only bone lesions are also eligible.
-
Refractory to or relapsed after one or two prior standard of care chemotherapy regimens for unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Earlier adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy for more limited disease will be considered as one of the required prior regimens if the development of unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease occurred within a 12-month period of time after completion of chemotherapy.
Note: Exclusive tumor marker elevation will not be considered sufficient for diagnosis of disease progression.
-
Prior therapy must have included a taxane in any combination or order and either in the early, locally advanced, or metastatic setting. Note: Exclusive prior taxane-based therapy as adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment is also allowed if the patient had a disease-free interval of less than 12 months after completing this treatment.
-
Eligible for one of the chemotherapy options (eribulin, capecitabine, carboplatin plus gemcitabine) as per local investigator assessment and slots availability. Patients treated with (neo)adjuvant platinum salts or capecitabine and who have relapsed more than one year after the last dose of either treatment may be allowed to be included in the treatment arm based on ipatasertib (GDC-0068) in combination with carboplatin plus gemcitabine and capecitabine, respectively.
-
Previous treatment with androgen receptor antagonists, poly ADP-ribose Polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, and immunotherapy is allowed. Those patients who have previously received a PARP inhibitor will not be included in the carboplatin and gemcitabine arm unless PARP inhibitors were used in the early breast cancer setting and the period between the end of PARP inhibitor-based regimen and onset of metastatic disease is at least of 12 months.
-

If not feasible, patient eligibility should be evaluated by a Sponsor's qualified designee. Note: Subjects for whom tumor biopsies cannot be obtained (e.g., inaccessible tumor or subject safety concern) may submit an archived metastatic tumor specimen only upon agreement from the Sponsor.
-
Patients agree to give blood samples (liquid biopsy) at the time of inclusion, after two cycles of study treatment, and upon progression or study termination.
