A Trial of Ribocilcib (LEE011) and Weekly Paclitaxel in Patients With Rb+ Advanced Breast Cancer

NCT02599363

Description:

This is a Phase I study to assess the safety and Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of paclitaxel + ribociclib (LEE011) in patients with Rb+, advanced breast cancer. Dose escalation will be performed using standard 3 + 3 dosing strategy. The starting dose of ribociclib (LEE011) is 200 mg once daily; dose escalation proceeds in 200 mg increments up to a maximum of 600 mg. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) will be based upon first-cycle toxicity.

          -  Patient has any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that
             would, in the investigator's judgment, cause unacceptable safety risks, contraindicate
             patient participation in the clinical study or compromise compliance with the protocol
             (e.g. chronic pancreatitis, chronic active hepatitis, active untreated or uncontrolled
             fungal, bacterial or viral infections, etc.).

          -  Participation in a prior investigational therapeutic study within 30 days prior to
             enrollment or within 5 half-lives of the investigational product, whichever is longer.

          -  Patient who has received radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks or limited field radiation for
             palliation ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug, and who has not recovered to grade

          -  Patient has had major surgery within 14 days prior to starting study drug or has not
             recovered from major side effects (all surgical wounds must be fully healed). For the
             purpose of this criterion, a major surgical procedure is defined as one requiring the
             administration of general anesthesia (tumor biopsy is not considered as major
             surgery).

          -  Patient has not recovered from all toxicities related to prior anticancer therapies to
             NCI-CTCAE version 4.03 Grade <1 (Exception to this criterion: patients with any degree

          -  Patient with a Child-Pugh score B or C

          -  Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a
             female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a
             positive hCG laboratory test.

          -  Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of
             becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception
             throughout the study and for 8 weeks after study drug discontinuation. Highly
             effective contraception methods include:

          -  Total abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the
             patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation
             methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception

          -  Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without
             hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment. In
             case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been
             confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment

          -  Combination of any two of the following (a+b or a+c or b+c) Use of oral, injected or
             implanted hormonal methods of contraception or other forms of hormonal contraception
             that have comparable efficacy (failure rate <1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or
             transdermal hormone contraception Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or
             intrauterine system (IUS) Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap
             (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/ vaginal
             suppository

          -  In case of use of oral contraception, women should have been stable on the same pill
             before taking study treatment.

          -  Note: Oral contraceptives are allowed but should be used in conjunction with a barrier
             method of contraception due to unknown effect of drug-drug interaction.

          -  Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have
             had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile
             (e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral
             oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks ago.
             In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has
             been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child
             bearing potential.
