Testing the Combination of DS-8201a and Olaparib in HER2-Expressing Cancers With Expansion in Patients With Endometrial Cancer

NCT04585958

Description:

This phase I trial identifies the side effects and best dose of DS-8201a and olaparib in treating patients with HER2-expressing cancers that have spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery or endometrial cancer. Olaparib is a drug that blocks an enzyme involved in many cell functions, including the repair of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage. Blocking this enzyme may help keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. DS-8201a is an antibody-drug conjugate. This agent has two components: an antibody component and a chemotherapy component. The antibody component is attached to the chemotherapy molecules. Upon administration of DS-8201a, the antibody targets and binds to tumor cells that have abundant HER2 (human-epidermal growth factor receptor 2), which is a protein on the surface of some tumor cells. The chemotherapy then enters the cells and blocks DNA replication in the tumor cells with abundant HER2, causing them to die. Giving DS-8201a and olaparib may shrink or stabilize the cancer.

Purpose

This phase I trial identifies the side effects and best dose of DS-8201a and olaparib in treating patients with HER2-expressing cancers that have spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery or endometrial cancer. Olaparib is a drug that blocks an enzyme involved in many cell functions, including the repair of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage. Blocking this enzyme may help keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. DS-8201a is an antibody-drug conjugate.

Upon administration of DS-8201a, the antibody targets and binds to tumor cells that have abundant HER2 (human-epidermal growth factor receptor 2), which is a protein on the surface of some tumor cells. The chemotherapy then enters the cells and blocks DNA replication in the tumor cells with abundant HER2, causing them to die. Giving DS-8201a and olaparib may shrink or stabilize the cancer.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of trastuzumab deruxtecan
      (DS-8201a) in combination with olaparib, and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose
      (RP2D).

      II. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of this combination in a dose expansion cohort in
      patients with uterine serous carcinoma.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To observe and record anti-tumor activity as measured by objective response rate (ORR),
      clinical benefit rate, progression-free survival (PFS), and duration of response (DoR).

      II. To measure baseline HER2 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in a central laboratory
      and correlate with response in the dose escalation and in the dose expansion.

      III. To evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of olaparib and DS-8201a
      metabolites when administered in combination in the dose escalation and in the dose
      expansion.

      IV. To determine markers of DNA damage response (DDR) in tumor specimens at baseline and
      on-treatment in patients with uterine serous carcinoma in the dose expansion.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To measure baseline HER2 expression by immune-mass spectroscopy, and correlate with
      baseline central IHC and with response in the dose escalation and in the dose expansion.

      II. To measure the formation of topoisomerase I cleaved complex formation (TOP1cc) in blood
      specimens and correlate with response in the dose escalation and in the dose expansion.

      III. To measure the formation of TOP1cc in tumor specimens at baseline and on-treatment and
      correlate with response in patients with uterine serous carcinoma in the dose expansion.

      IV. To measure changes in HER2 expression over the course of treatment by IHC and immune
      multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (immunoMRM) and correlate with response in
      patients with uterine serous carcinoma in the dose expansion.

      V. To determine biomarkers of response and resistance in tumor specimens and blood specimens,
      including whole exome sequencing (WES) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing.

      OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

      Patients receive trastuzumab deruxtecan intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes on day 1 and
      olaparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the
      absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.

             eligible for this trial, patients should be better than class 2B

          -  The effects of DS-8201a and olaparib on the developing human fetus are unknown. For
             this reason and because HER2 antibody conjugated to a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor agents
             as well as PARP inhibitors are known to be teratogenic; thus, women of child-bearing
             potential and men must agree to use highly effective contraception (hormonal or
             barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of
             study participation, and for at least 7 months (women of childbearing potential
             [WOCBP] only) after the last dose of study drug. Should a woman become pregnant or
             suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she
             should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this
             protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the
             duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of DS-8201a and
             olaparib administration.

          -  Women of non-child-bearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a
             documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of
             spontaneous amenorrhea (in questionable cases, a blood sample with simultaneous
             follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] > 40 mIU/mL and estradiol < 40 pg/mL [< 147 pmol/L]
             is confirmatory) are eligible. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose
             menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods
             outlined for women of child-bearing potential if they wish to continue their HRT
             during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of
             post-menopausal status prior to study enrollment. For most forms of HRT, at least 2-4
             weeks will elapse between the cessation of therapy and the blood draw; this interval
             depends on the type and dosage of HRT. Following confirmation of their post-menopausal
             status, they can resume use of HRT during the study without use of a contraceptive
             method

          -  Male subjects must not freeze or donate sperm starting at screening and throughout the
             study period, and at least 4 months after the final study drug administration.

          -  Female subjects must not donate, or retrieve for their own use, ova from the time of
             screening and throughout the study treatment period, and for at least 7 months after
             the final study drug administration

          -  Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

             severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], restrictive lung disease, pleural
             effusion, etc.), and any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorders with
             potential pulmonary involvement (i.e. rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's, sarcoidosis,
             etc.), or prior pneumonectomy

          -  History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
             composition to DS-8201a, the inactive ingredients in the drug product, olaparib, or

          -  Patients receiving any medications or substances that are moderate or strong
             inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A are ineligible. Because the lists of these agents are
             constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated medical
             reference. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be
             counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new

          -  Patients with unresolved toxicities from previous anticancer therapy, defined as
             toxicities (other than alopecia) not yet resolved to grade =< 1 or baseline. Subjects
             with chronic grade 2 toxicities may be eligible per the discretion of the investigator
             after consultation with the sponsor medical monitor or designee (e.g., grade 2
             chemotherapy-induced neuropathy)

          -  Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
             study requirements

          -  Pregnant women are excluded from this study because DS-8201a is a HER2 antibody
             conjugated to a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor agent with 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 DS-8201a,
             breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with DS-8201a. These
             potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study
