BN-Brachyury, Entinostat, Adotrastuzumab Emtansine and M7824 in Advanced Stage Breast Cancer (BrEAsT)

NCT04296942

Description:

Background: Breast cancer is the second most common cause of U.S. cancer deaths in women. Immunotherapy drugs use a person s immune system to fight cancer. Researchers want to see if a new combination of immunotherapy drugs can help treat breast cancer that has gone to places in the body outside of the breast (metastasized). Objective: To learn if a new combination of immunotherapy drugs can shrink tumors in people with metastatic breast cancer. Eligibility: Adults 18 and older who have been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, such as Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) or ER-/PR-/HER2+ Breast Cancer (HER2+BC) Design: Participants will be screened with: medical history physical exam disease confirmation (or tumor biopsy) tumor scans (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and/or bone scan) blood and urine tests electrocardiogram (measures the heart s electrical activity) echocardiogram (creates images of the heart). Participants will be assigned to 1 of 3 groups. The drugs they get will be based on the group they are in. Drugs are given in cycles. Each cycle = 3 weeks. Participants will be seen in clinic every 3 weeks, prior to the start of a new cycle. At each visit, participants will have an clinical exam, have blood drawn and will be asked about any side effects. They will repeat the screening tests during the study. New scans, like a CT scan, will be done every 6 weeks to see if the treatment is working. All participants will get BN-Brachyury. It is 2 different vaccines - a prime and a boost. First the priming vaccines, called MVA-BN-Brachyury help to jump start the immune system. Next the boosting vaccines, called FPV-Brachyury help to keep the immune system going. They are injected under the skin during different cycles. All participants will get M7824 (also known as Bintrafusp alfa ), which is an immunotherapy drug. Some participants will get a commonly used drug is HER2+ breast cancer called adotrastuzumab emtansine (also known as T-DM1DM1 or kadcyla). For both, a needle is inserted into a vein to give the drugs slowly. Some participants will take Entinostat weekly by mouth. It is in tablet form. Participants will keep a pill diary. Participants will continue on their assigned treatment until their cancer grows, they develop side effects or want to stop treatment. About 28 days after treatment ends, participants will have a follow-up visit or a telephone call. Then they will be contacted every 3 months for 1 year, then every 6 months for 1 year. They may have more tumor scans or continue treatment.

Detailed Description

      Background:

        -  Current greater than or equal to 2nd line treatments for metastatic breast cancer
           provide modest response rates, and modest improvement in progression-free survival but
           no treatments are curative.

        -  Bavarian-Nordic (BN)-Brachyury vaccine is a recombinant poxvirus vaccine against the
           transcription factor brachyury, which plays an important role in the
           epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in breast cancer. A recently completed phase 1
           study of BN-Brachyury vaccine showed the vaccine was well tolerated and generated an
           immune response.

        -  M7824 is a novel bifunctional fusion protein composed of a monoclonal antibody against
           human PD-L1 fused to the soluble extracellular domain of human TGF-Beta receptor II
           (TGF-BetaRII), which functions as a TGF-Beta trap.

        -  Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1 or Kadcyla) is an antibody drug conjugate used in
           second- and third- line treatment of metastatic HER2+ breast cancer (HER2+BC). T-DM1
           activates ADCC, dendritic cell maturation, increases TILs, increased PD-L1 expression,
           and increased immunomodulatory cytokines.

        -  Entinostat is a class 1 histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) which suppresses tumor
           initiating cells, regulatory T-cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), as
           well as enhances cytotoxic T-cell mediated lysis, direct natural killer (NK) lysis, NK
           cell activation, increases PD-L1 expression and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity
           (ADCC). In addition, entinostat may also be able to overcome HER2 resistance.

        -  We propose a Phase 1b trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the stepwise
           combination of the BN-Brachyury vaccine, M7824, T-DM1 and entinostat in metastatic
           breast cancer.

          -  Patients with active brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases should be excluded
             from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often
             develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of
             neurologic and other adverse events. However, patients with treated brain metastases
             are eligible if there is no magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence of progression
             for 6 weeks after treatment is complete (no radiotherapy within 6 weeks) and within 28
             days prior to the first dose of trial drug or asymptomatic brain metastasis. Patients

             stop antibiotics on day of enrollment), unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia,
             or psychiatric illness/social situation that in the opinion of the primary
             investigator would prohibit the patient from complying with study requirements.

          -  Known history of a gastrointestinal illness that in the investigator s opinion would
             prevent the absorption of entinostat, which is an oral agent. (Arm 3 ONLY)

          -  Patients with bone metastases who have initiated denosumab or a bisphosphonate therapy
             within 28 days prior to or after Cycle 1 Day 1. Continuation of prior therapy is

             vWF deficiency or recent (within 3 months prior to enrollment) clinically significant

             patient s ability to carry out the treatment program.

          -  Patients should have no evidence of being immunocompromised as listed below:

               -  Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease. Patients are permitted to enroll
                  if they have vitiligo, type I diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to
                  an autoimmune condition only requiring hormone replacement, psoriasis not
                  requiring systemic treatment or conditions not expected to recur in the absence
                  of an external trigger in the opinion of the primary investigator.

               -  Altered immune function, that in the judgement of the PI that may affect a
                  patient s ability to adequately engage the immune system and respond to the
                  immunotherapy agents being administered, including but not limited to:
                  inflammatory bowel disease; active infectious enteritis; eosinophilic enteritis;
                  lupus erythematous; ankylosing spondylitis; scleroderma; multiple sclerosis.
                  These criteria do not include all disease with an immune-related component, but
                  are not autoimmune in nature or have a primary alteration in the general immune
                  function that may interfere with the vaccine mechanism of action, for example
                  celiac disease.

             Medical Monitor, indicated the subject is a poor candidate for the clinical trial or
             would jeopardize the subject or the integrity of the data obtained.

               -  platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/mcL

               -  hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9 mg/dL (transfusion to obtain hemoglobin
                  greater than or equal to 9 mg/dL within 24 hours prior to dosing is allowed)

          -  Patients must have adequate renal function, defined as:

               -  serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) OR

             syndrome will be defined as elevated unconjugated bilirubin, with conjugated (direct)
             bilirubin within the normal range and less than 20% of the total. Total bilirubin will
             be permitted up to 5 mg/dL, if patients have historical readings consistent with the
             definition of Gilbert s syndrome prior to entering study. Adequate hepatic function
             for patients with known liver metastases is defined as AST and ALT levels less than or
             equal to 5 X ULN.
