Breast Cancer Clinical Trial

Evaluation of the Safety and Tolerability of Niraparib With Everolimus in Advanced Gynecologic Malignancies and Breast

Summary

Open-label, cohort study to determine the feasibility and tolerability of the combination of daily niraparib and daily or thrice weekly everolimus for one 28-day cycle in patients with advanced ovarian and breast cancer.

Full Description

The goal of this study is to determine a maximum tolerated dose of the combination of niraparib and everolimus. To do this, investigators will estimate the maximum tolerated dose that is defined as the dose level at which less than one-third of patients will experience a dose-limiting toxicity. A traditional dose escalation design will be used, beginning with the lowest dose level and escalating to the maximum allowable dose level as specified in the protocol. One of the following outcomes will determine the treatment of subsequent patients:

If none of the three patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity , the next group of patients will be entered in the next higher dose cohort. All patients within a cohort must have completed at least one cycle (28 days) prior to initiation of the next cohort of patients.
If one of the three patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity , three more patients will be accrued at the current dose level. Subsequently, if only one of the six patients treated at this level experiences a dose-limiting toxicity , the dose will be escalated to the next higher dose in the next group of patients. If two or more of the six patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity , the maximum tolerated dose has been exceeded and is defined as the previous dose at which no more than 1/3 experienced a dose-limiting toxicity .
If at least two of the three experience a dose-limiting toxicity , the maximum tolerated dose has been exceeded and is defined as the previous dose at which no more than 1/3 experienced a dose-limiting toxicity .

If the lowest allowable dose level exceeds the maximum tolerated dose, the study will be terminated and the combination will not be deemed safe for use in this population. Additionally, the highest dose level will not be exceeded, even if no dose-limiting toxicities are experienced at that dose.

Investigators will summarize the adverse events overall and by individual adverse event categories. Serious adverse events will be summarized in a similar manner. These summaries will be performed overall and for each dose cohort. Investigators will summarize all events as well as the highest grade for a given subject. Investigators will summarize the number of subjects that exhibit a dose-limiting toxicity at each dose cohort and describe the dose-limiting toxicity for each subject, if applicable.

Female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use an acceptable method of birth control (excluding hormonal birth control methods, see Section 3.0.5) for 72 hours prior to initiation of therapy and to continue its use during the study and for at least 180 days after the final dose
Male patients must agree to use an acceptable form of birth control (see Section 3.0.5) from study Day 1 through at least 180 days after the final dose
Patients must be able to understand the study procedures and agree to participate in the study by providing written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients must not be simultaneously enrolled in any other interventional clinical trial
Patients must not have had major surgery ≤3 weeks of starting the study and patient must have recovered from any effects of any major surgery
Patients must not have had investigational therapy administered ≤4 weeks, or within a time interval less than at least 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is longer, prior to the first scheduled day of dosing in this study
Patients must not have had radiotherapy encompassing >20% of the bone marrow
Patients must not have received prior treatment with a known PARP inhibitor or have participated in a study where any treatment arm included administration of a known PARP inhibitor

Patients must not have current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality (including active or uncontrolled myelosuppression [ie, anemia, leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia]) that might confound the results of the study or interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration of the study treatment or that makes it not in the best interest of the patient to participate
Patients must not have had diagnosis, detection, or treatment of another type of cancer ≤2 years prior to randomization (except basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been definitively treated)
Patients must not have known, symptomatic brain or leptomeningeal metastases
