Brief Title
Randomized Controlled Trial of Genomically Directed Therapy in Patients With Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Protocol ID
NCT02101385
Lead Sponsor
Bryan Schneider, MD
Brief Summary
This study will test the theory that therapy designed for each individual's tumor will
improve outcomes over standard of care in a population that needs a better standard.
Detailed Description
OUTLINE: This is a multi-center trial.
SEQUENCING:
DNA from archived tumor samples collected at the time of surgery (residual disease post
neoadjuvant chemotherapy) will be extracted and sequenced. The resulting sequencing data
will be interrogated for known genomic drivers of sensitivity or resistance to existing
FDA approved agents.
CANCER GENOMICS TUMOR BOARD (CGTB):
Realizing that optimal treatment recommendations cannot be made based on sequencing data
alone, the CGTB will be responsible for the final treatment recommendation. The CGTB will
consider the genomic data along with the patient's prior treatment history, ongoing
toxicities, and comorbidities. Preference will be given to the treatment identified by
the sequencing data unless a significant clinical or safety contraindication exists for
that therapy. All participants and investigators will be blinded to sequencing results
and CGTB deliberations until the time of relapse.
PARTICIPANTS WITH A CGTB TREATMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Participants with a CGTB recommendation will be randomized to Experimental Arm A
(genomically directed monotherapy) or Control Arm B (standard therapy).
EXPERIMENTAL ARM A (GENOMICALLY DIRECTED MONOTHERAPY):
Participants randomized to Experimental Arm A will receive an FDA approved drug at
standard dose for four cycles (12-16 weeks total duration, depending on cycle length).
Clinical and laboratory monitoring and dose-reductions will follow the FDA package insert
guidelines.
TOP GENOMIC ACTIONABLE BIOMARKERS/PATHWAYS AND DRUG RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. PIK3CA, PTEN: Everolimus
2. TOP2A: Doxorubicin
3. PARP1, BRCA1: Cisplatin and Olaparib
4. VEGFA: Bevacizumab
5. TYMP: Capecitabine
6. SSTR2: Octreotide
7. MGMT: Temozolomide
8. MYC: Paclitaxel
9. EGFR: Cetuximab
10. COX2: Celecoxib
11. hENT: Gemcitabine
12. MET: Crizotinib
CONTROL ARM B (STANDARD THERAPY); Recently, a randomized phase III trial of over 900
HER2-negative patients demonstrated an improvement in disease-free survival (DFS) and
overall survival (OS) for the addition of 8 cycles of capecitabine in the
post-neoadjuvant setting. The hazard ratios were also significant in the triple negative
subgroup. Thus, capecitabine can be considered a standard option in this setting. As this
represents only a single trial (with prior data not demonstrating benefit for the
addition of capecitabine in the neoadjuvant nor adjuvant settings in unselected
patients), observation can be considered an option as directed by the treating physician.
While not recommended, other therapies can be used as deemed appropriate by the treating
physician.
In the event of disease progression on the control arm, patient sequencing results will
be forwarded to the treating physician.
PARTICIPANTS WITH NO CGTB RECOMMENDATION:
Participants may have no CGTB recommendation either because 1) sequencing did not
identify a matched drug or 2) the matched drug was contraindicated. These participants
will be assigned to Control Arm B and treated as described above for Control Arm B. As
the outcome of participants without an 'actionable' genomically directed therapy may
differ, the primary analysis will include only participants randomized to Control Arm B.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health
information.
NOTE: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or may be obtained
separately.
NOTE: Central pathology review may be conducted any time after definitive surgery.
Consenting participants may be pre-registered to the study and proceed with central
pathology review before full eligibility has been confirmed. However, ALL of the
eligibility criteria must be met and formal study registration completed prior to
submission of the sample for sequencing.
- Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.
- ECOG Performance Status 0 or 1 within 14 days prior to study registration.
- Women and men of childbearing potential must be willing to use an effective method
of contraception (e.g. hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) from
the time consent is signed until 4 weeks after protocol therapy discontinuation.
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 30 days
prior to study registration. Women should be counseled regarding acceptable birth
control methods to utilize from the time of screening to start of treatment. If
prior to treatment after discussion with the subject it is felt by the treating
physician there is a possibility the subject is pregnant a pregnancy test should be
repeated.
NOTE: Women are considered not of childbearing potential if they are surgically sterile
(they have undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral
oophorectomy), or they are postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months.
- Women must not be breastfeeding.
- Must have histologically or cytologically confirmed triple negative (ER-/PR-/HER2-)
invasive breast cancer, clinical stage I-III at diagnosis (AJCC 6th edition) based
on initial evaluation by physical examination and/or breast imaging prior to study
registration. NOTE: ER, PR and HER2 status will be confirmed by central pathology
review prior to randomization. ER and PR will be considered negative if ≤ 1% of
cells stain weakly positive. HER2 will be considered negative if scored 0 or 1+ by
immunohistochemistry (IHC) or 2+ by IHC associated with a fluorescence in situ
hybridization (FISH) ratio of < 2.0 or < 6 copies per cell.
- Must have completed preoperative (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy. NOTE: Acceptable
preoperative regimens include an anthracycline or a taxane, or both. Participants
who received preoperative therapy as part of a clinical trial may enroll.
Participants may not have received adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery prior to
randomization. Bisphosphonate use is allowed.
- Must have completed definitive resection of primary tumor. The most recent surgery
for breast cancer must have been completed at least 14 days prior (but no more than
84 days prior) to study registration. NOTE: Negative margins for both invasive and
ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are desirable, however participants with positive
margins may enroll if the treatment team believes no further surgery is possible and
patient has received radiotherapy. Participants with margins positive for lobular
carcinoma in situ (LCIS) are eligible. Either mastectomy or breast conserving
surgery (including lumpectomy or partial mastectomy) is acceptable.
- Must have significant residual invasive disease at the time of definitive surgery
following preoperative chemotherapy. Significant residual disease is defined as at
least one of the following:
- Residual Cancer Burden (RBC) classification II or III^6
- Residual invasive disease in the breast measuring at least 2 cm. The presence
of DCIS without invasion does not qualify as residual disease in the breast.
- Residual invasive disease in the breast measuring at least 1cm with any lymph
node involvement (does not include metastases in lymph node which are only
detected by immunohistochemistry).
- Any lymph node involvement that results in 20% cellularity or greater
regardless of primary tumor site involvement (includes no residual disease in
the breast).
- Must have an FFPE tumor block with tumor cellularity of 20% or greater. NOTE: Prior
to randomization, the tumor cellularity will be confirmed by central pathology
review and percent values will be double checked at Paradigm (a Next Generation
Sequencing Company).
- BREAST RADIOTHERAPY:
- Whole breast radiotherapy is required for participants who underwent
breast-conserving therapy, including lumpectomy or partial mastectomy.
Participants must have completed radiotherapy at least 14 days prior (but no
more than 84 days prior) to study registration.
- Participants with a primary tumor > 5 cm or involvement of ≥4 lymph nodes who
require a mastectomy must also have radiotherapy pre- or post-operatively at
the discretion of the treating physician. For participants with primary tumors
≤ 5 cm or with < 4 involved lymph nodes, provision of post-mastectomy
radiotherapy is at the discretion of the treating physician. Registration must
occur within 84 days of the completion of the last local therapy.
- For radiation required prior to surgery, the participant must register within
84 days of surgery. Also, participants in this situation would not be required
to have additional post-mastectomy radiation therapy.
- For those participants who do not require radiation, registration must be
within 84 days of surgery.
- No stage IV (metastatic) disease, however no specific staging studies are required
in the absence of symptoms or physical exam findings that would suggest distant
disease.
- No treatment with any investigational agent within 30 days prior to study
registration.
- No history of chronic hepatitis B or untreated hepatitis C.
- Adequate laboratory values must be obtained within 14 days prior to study
registration.
- Hemoglobin (Hgb) >/= 9.0 g/dL
- Platelets >/= 100 K/mm^3
- Absolute neutrophile count (ANC) >/= 1.5 K/mm^3
- Calculated creatinine clearance of >/= 50 cc/min using the Cockcroft-Gault
formula:
- Males: (140-Age in years) x Actual body weight in kg / 72 x Serum
creatinine (mg/dL)
- Females: Estimated creatinine clearaNCE FOR MALES X 0.85
- Bilirubin 30%) of recurrence during
the study. Previous contralateral breast cancer is allowable unless it meets
"active" criteria as stated above.
