Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study to see how the brain absorbs, distributes, and gets rid of tucatinib in people who have HER2+ cancers (breast cancer, NSCLC, CRC, or GEC) that have spread to the brain, and to learn more about how cancer cells develop resistance to treatment. The researchers will do research tests to look for genetic differences between HER2+ breast...

Detailed Description

All patients will receive tucatinib per-protocol at standard dose of 300 mg orally twice daily on days - 4, -3, -2, -1 and day 0 (in AM). The post-surgery treatment (systemic and/or local) will be decided according to treating physician discretion and is not a study intervention. Tissue samples of brain metastases along with blood/plasma and CSF samples will...

Inclusion Criteria
  • Age ≥18 years with no impairment in decision making capacity

  • Patients with HER2 overexpressed/amplified/mutant metastatic breast/lung/esophagogastric/colorectal cancer (IHC, fluorescent in situ hybridation or sequencing-confirmed primary, brain, or other metastatic site) and one or more brain tumor(s) planned for neurosurgical resection. Other untreated brain metastases, and prior radiation (whole brain radiation therapy and/or stereotactic radiosurgery) to the index site are allowed

  • Patients with concomitant leptomeningeal disease are eligible provided they have parenchymal brain metastases requiring resection.

  • Life expectancy of >12 weeks.

  • ECOG Performance Status (PS) of 0 to 2

  • Prior treatments:

    • Cohort A: Clinical and or radiological CNS parenchymal progression on tucatinib as most recent line of treatment (tucatinib-resistant) in patients with HER2 overexpressed/amplified breast cancer
    • Clinical and or radiological CNS parenchymal progression with no prior tucatinib (tucatinib naïve) in patients with HER2 overexpressed/amplified breast cancer
    • Clinical and or radiological CNS parenchymal progression in patients with HER2+/mutant lung/esophagogastric/colorectal cancer and HER2 mutant breast cancer

ALL PATIENTS:

  • Prior conventional dose lapatinib and neratinib are allowed in any cohort if > 6 months prior

  • No limit on prior lines of systemic therapy

  • Adequate bone marrow, liver, renal function, and coagulation parameters (obtained ≤ 7 days prior to the first day of study treatment:

    1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0 × 103μL, Platelet count ≥75 × 103 /μL, Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL
    2. Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN). Subjects with known history of Gilbert's Syndrome and normal direct bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are eligible: AST and ALT ≤2.5 × ULN (≤5 × ULN if liver metastases are present)
    3. Calculated creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min using the CKD-EPI (2021) (in Cohort A, in patients with elevated serum creatinine, eGFR can be calculated using cystatin C to confirm eligibility)
    4. International normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.5 × ULN unless on medication known to alter INR and/or aPTT
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to enrollment and must agree to use adequate contraception prior to enrollment and for the duration of study participation

  • Patients must be able to swallow and retain oral medication

Exclusion Criteria
  • Contraindications or history of allergic reaction to tucatinib or any of its excipients
  • Significant medical co-morbidities as per investigator evaluation
  • Inability to comply with protocol and /or not willing or not available for follow-up assessments or any condition which in the investigator's opinion makes the patient unsuitable for the study participation
  • Have used a strong or moderate CYP2C8 inhibitor within 5 half-lives of the inhibitor or have used a strong or moderate CYP2C8 or CYP3A4 inducer within 2 weeks prior to first dose of study treatment (Appendix E)
  • Receiving concomitant CYP3A or P-gp substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities
  • Concurrent pregnancy

Patients already on TucatinibTucatinibCohort A: This is a non-interventional study patients who will enter while already on Tucatinib . Patients in cohort A who are already on Tucatinib at a dose reduction (i.e., for toxicity) will continue the same dose.
Patients with documented radiological and/or clinical CNS progression with no prior tucatinibTucatinibCohort B: Is to administer Tucatinib at standard dose of 300mg orally twice daily for 4 days prior to surgery (day -4 to 0).
HER2+ esophagogastric, lung, or colon cancer brain metastases and HER2 mutant breast cancerTucatinibCohort C: Is to administer Tucatinib at standard dose of 300mg orally twice daily for 4 days prior to surgery (day -4 to 0).
