Olaparib With or Without Atezolizumab in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Non-HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

NCT02849496

Description:

This randomized phase II trial studies how well olaparib with or without atezolizumab work in treating patients with non-HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread from its original site of growth to nearby tissues or lymph nodes and is not amenable to surgical resection (locally advanced unresectable) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not known whether giving olaparib with or without atezolizumab will work better in patients with non-HER2-positive breast cancer.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To compare the progression free survival (PFS) between two study arms, i.e., olaparib
      monotherapy (arm 1) and olaparib + atezolizumab in combination (arm 2) based on normal
      Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria in patients with locally
      advanced or metastatic non-HER2-positive breast cancer harboring homologous deoxyribonucleic
      acid (DNA) repair (HDR) through BRCA 1/2 mutation.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To compare the progression free survival (PFS) between the two study arms based on immune
      response criteria.

      II. To compare the time to treatment failure (TTF) between the two study arms based on immune
      response criteria and normal RECIST.

      III. To compare the overall response rate (ORR) between the two study arms based on immune
      response criteria and normal RECIST.

      IV. To compare the duration of response (DoR) between the two study arms based on immune
      response criteria and normal RECIST.

      V. Determine the changes in extent of mutational burden in BRCA 1/2 mutated tumors at
      baseline and at progression.

      VI. Evaluate and characterize changes in the extent of PD-L1 expression and tumor immune
      infiltrates.

      VII. Retrospectively evaluate tumors with limited immune infiltrate (e.g. "non-inflamed") to
      determine if PARPi increased immune infiltration.

      VIII. Determine the immune-related best overall response (irBOR) of olaparib in combination
      with atezolizumab in locally advanced or metastatic non-HER2+ breast cancer harboring HDR
      through BRCA 1/2 mutation.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Evaluate changes in candidate neoantigen profiles and immune/inflammation signatures using
      DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA)-sequencing in serial tumor biopsies.

      II. Evaluate and characterize circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and immune parameters in blood.

      III. Test the hypothesis that DNA repair status affects the tumor-immune interaction.

      IV. Characterize mechanism of action of the PARP inhibitor olaparib. V. To explore the
      inclusion of patient reported symptomatic adverse events. VI. To use anti-Kynurenine
      antibodies for immunohistochemistry (IHC) as well as unbiased metabolome studies on plasma to
      understand the metabolic consequences of PARP-inhibition and their effects on immune
      infiltrates.

      OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

      ARM I: Patients receive olaparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21. Cycles repeat
      every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with
      disease progression may cross-over to Arm II.

      ARM II: Patients receive olaparib as Arm I and atezolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-60
      minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up monthly.

             or any psychiatric disorder that prohibits obtaining informed consent and would limit
             compliance with study requirements

          -  Pregnant women are excluded from this study because olaparib and atezolizumab are have
             the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because there is an unknown
             but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the
             mother with olaparib and atezolizumab, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the
             mother is treated with olaparib and atezolizumab

          -  Any prior grade >= 3 immune-related adverse event (irAE) while receiving any previous
             immunotherapy agent, or any unresolved irAE > grade 1

          -  Patients with active seizures or a history of uncontrolled seizure disorder, including
             focal or generalized seizure within the past year

          -  Patients requiring treatment with a RANKL inhibitor (e.g. denosumab) who cannot
             discontinue it before treatment with atezolizumab

          -  Resting electrocardiogram (ECG) with corrected QT (QTc) > 470
      
Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:All
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame:Time measured from randomization, assessed up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The study arms will be compared for duration of response survival with Kaplan-Meier estimates and log-rank tests. The Rothman confidence interval (CI), which is based on Greenwood's variance, Thomas and Grunkemeier CI, and the simultaneous confidence bands by Nair and Hall and Wellner, will be reported. In addition, the possible risk factors will be compared for survival with log-rank test. For multivariate analysis, the proportional hazards Cox model will be applied to investigate potential prognostic factors, such as age and stage of disease of the PFS data. The adjusted p-values of the hazard ratios and the adjusted 95% confidence interval will be reported.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Overall response rate (ORR)
Time Frame:Up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Evaluated by immune response criteria and normal Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria. The ORR will be estimated using the 95% CI based on Wilson's method. The Fisher's exact test will be applied to examine the difference between two arms. The Wilcoxon rank sum test and Fisher's exact test will be applied to study the association between the response status and the continuous and categorical variables, respectively. The generalized non-linear model and logistic regression will be applied for multivariable data analysis. The adjusted p-value and 95% CI of the odds ratios (OR) will be reported.
Measure:Duration of response (DoR)
Time Frame:Time from documentation of tumor response to disease progression, assessed up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The study arms will be compared for duration of response survival with Kaplan-Meier estimates and log-rank tests. The Rothman CI, which is based on Greenwood's variance, Thomas and Grunkemeier CI, and the simultaneous confidence bands by Nair and Hall and Wellner, will be reported. In addition, the possible risk factors will be compared for survival with log-rank test. For multivariate analysis, the proportional hazards Cox model will be applied to investigate potential prognostic factors, such as age and stage of disease of the DoR data. The adjusted p-values of the hazard ratios and the adjusted 95% confidence interval will be reported.
