About
This is a multicenter, Phase 1b/2 trial in participants with estrogen receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (ER+/HER2-) advanced/metastatic breast cancer. The phase 1b part of the trial will determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of elacestrant when administered in combination with alpelisib, everolimus, palbociclib, capivasertib, and ribociclib. The Phase 2 part of the trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the various combinations.
Full description
This is a multicenter, Phase 1b/2 trial. The Phase 1b aims at selecting the RP2D dose, defined as a dose that is associated with less than 33% of participants experiencing a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of elacestrant when administered in combination with alpelisib, everolimus, palbociclib, ribociclib, and capivasertib that is, ≤1 participant experiencing a DLT out of 6 DLT-evaluable participants. For each combination, this phase will have approximately 3 cohorts of up to 6 DLT-evaluable participants each. The total number of DLT-evaluable participants in all the combinations will be up to 125.
The Phase 2 part of the trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the various combinations.
The treatment arms will be:
- Arm A: 50 participants: elacestrant with alpelisib;
- Arm B: 50 participants: elacestrant with everolimus;
- Arm C: 60 participants (30 participants in each combination): elacestrant with either abemaciclib or ribociclib;
- Arm D: 90 participants (30 participants in each combination): elacestrant with either palbociclib, abemaciclib, or ribociclib;
- Arm E: 60 participants: elacestrant with capivasertib
Phase 1b will have a total of 125 participants, while Phase 2 will have 310 participants for all treatment arm combinations.
