A Study to Assess Overall Response Rate by Inducing an Inflammatory Phenotype in Metastatic BReast cAnCEr With the Oncolytic Reovirus PeLareorEp in CombinaTion With Anti-PD-L1 Avelumab and Paclitaxel - BRACELET-1 Study

NCT04215146

Description:

The purpose of this study is to find out the possible anti-cancer effect of pelareorep in combination with chemotherapy [paclitaxel] and avelumab in treating a type of breast cancer called Hormone Receptor positive (HR+)/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 negative(HER2-) breast cancer, which is either locally advanced or has metastasized (cancer that has spread in your body). The study will investigate if pelareorep in combination with paclitaxel and avelumab is more effective than paclitaxel alone, or pelareorep and paclitaxel. The safety of the combination treatments will also be evaluated.

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to find out the possible anti-cancer effect of pelareorep in combination with chemotherapy [paclitaxel] and avelumab in treating a type of breast cancer called Hormone Receptor positive (HR+)/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 negative(HER2-) breast cancer, which is either locally advanced or has metastasized (cancer that has spread in your body). The study will investigate if pelareorep in combination with paclitaxel and avelumab is more effective than paclitaxel alone, or pelareorep and paclitaxel. The safety of the combination treatments will also be evaluated.

Detailed Description

      This is an open-label randomized Phase 2, 3-cohort study to evaluate the safety and efficacy
      of pelareorep, paclitaxel and avelumab in Hormone Receptor+ (HR+)/Human Epidermal Growth
      Factor Receptor 2 negative (HER2-) with endocrine-refractory metastatic breast cancer.

      Patients will be randomized to one of three treatment cohorts: paclitaxel alone, pelareorep +
      paclitaxel, or pelareorep + paclitaxel + avelumab. A three patient safety run-in will be
      conducted in the cohort for pelareorep + paclitaxel + avelumab prior to beginning
      randomization into all three cohorts.

      Patients will give mandatory blood samples and optional tumor biopsies, which will be
      analyzed for biomarkers to determine the immunological changes within the tumor
      microenvironment and peripheral blood in patients treated with paclitaxel alone, in
      combination with pelareorep, and in combination with pelareorep and avelumab.

         18. Patients with any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the
             Investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with the completion of the treatment
             according to the protocol, are not eligible.

         19. Patients with legal incapacity or limited legal capacity are not eligible.

         20. Patients with known alcohol or drug abuse are not eligible.

             prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 nor in the first cycle of study treatment. Inactivated vaccines
             (including against COVID-19 or seasonal influenza) are permitted after the first cycle
             of study treatment is complete.
