Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical activity of BKM120 in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

Full description

This is a prospective, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter, single-arm exploratory study of single agent BKM120 in the treatment of metastatic triple negative breast cancer patients.

Patients will first undergo screening, tumor measurement and collection of available tumor block from the primary tumor and/or a metastatic site. Available tumor block is required in all patients per inclusion criteria. Analysis of this tumor block will be used for correlation of predictive markers and clinical response in order to define potential subpopulation that benefit from BKM120.

Following confirmation of eligibility criteria, subjects will be enrolled. BKM120 will then be administered in a 100mg dose, orally, once daily, in a continuous schedule. A treatment cycle is defined as 28 days for the purposes of scheduling procedures and evaluations.

Treatment with BKM120 will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity that precludes any further treatment, and/or discontinuation of the treatment by investigator or patient decision.

Subjects must have received maximum two prior chemotherapy regimens for metastatic breast cancer.
Availability of a representative tumor specimen (primary or metastasis, archival tissue or fresh biopsy for patients with biopsiable tumor) at baseline.
At least one measurable lesion by RECIST 1.1
Age ≥ 18 years at the day of consenting to the study
ECOG performance status ≤ 2

Exclusion criteria

Previous treatment with PI3K inhibitors
Symptomatic CNS metastases
Patients with controlled and asymptomatic CNS metastases may participate in this trial. As such, the patient must have completed any prior treatment for CNS metastases > 28 days (including radiotherapy and/or surgery) prior to enrollment in this study. Patients with previously treated brain metastases, who are on a stable low dose corticosteroids treatment are eligible
Concurrent malignancy or malignancy within 3 years of study enrollment (with the exception of adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma or non-melanomatous skin cancer). An exception to this rule are those patients with documented germline mutations in BRCA1 or 2, who may have previous history of cancer
Any of the following mood disorders as judged by the Investigator or a Psychiatrist, or meets the cut-off score of ≥ 10 in the PHQ-9 or a cut-off of ≥ 15 in the GAD-7 mood scale, respectively, or selects a positive response of '1, 2, or 3' to question number 9 regarding potential for suicidal thoughts ideation in the PHQ-9 (independent of the total score of the PHQ-9)
1. Patients with a history or active episodes of major depression, bipolar disorder (I or II), obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, history of suicide attempts or suicidal thoughts (eg. Risk of hurting or harming others) or patients with severe personality disorders (as defined by the DSM-IV) are not eligible. Note: For patients who are treated with psychotropic drugs at baseline, the dose and schedule shall not be changed during the 6 weeks prior to initiation of treatment with the study drug.
2. ≥ CTCAE v 4.0 grade 3 anxiety
Patients on concurrent use of other approved or investigational antineoplastic and / or chemotherapy or any continuous or intermittent treatment with therapeutic agents of low molecular weight (excluding monoclonal antibodies) in ≤ 21 days prior to enrollment in this study or who have not recovered from the effects such therapy will not be eligible.
Radiotherapy ≤ 28 days prior to enrollment in this study or failure to recover from side effects of such therapy at the time of initiation of screening procedures.
Major surgery within 28 days prior to starting study drug or has not recovered from major side effects of the surgery
Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c > 8%)
Active cardiac disease including any of the following:
1. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) < 50% as determined by Multiple Gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO)Note: ECHO/MUGA is only required at baseline if patient has a history of abnormal cardiac test results
2. QTc > 480 msec on screening ECG (using the QTcF formula
3. Angina pectoris that requires the use of anti-anginal medication
4. Ventricular arrhythmias except for benign premature ventricular contractions
5. Supraventricular and nodal arrhythmias requiring a pacemaker or not controlled with medication
