Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This is an open label, multi-institutional, single arm phase II trial of ribociclib in combination with bicalutamide in advanced AR+ triple-negative breast cancer. No randomization or blinding is involved.

Detailed Description

This is a non-randomized, single arm, open label study of the combination of bicalutamide with ribociclib in subjects with advanced AR+ TNBC. Prior to enrollment on the phase II cohort, a phase I run-in study will be performed to ensure safety and tolerability of the combination of bicalutamide and ribociclib in subjects with advanced AR+ TNBC.

In both the phase I and phase II portions of the study, subjects will receive bicalutamide 150 mg orally, once daily, continuously on Day 1 to Day 28. Each cycle of treatment is 28 days.

In the phase I portion of the study, cohorts of subjects will receive ribociclib in escalated doses orally, once daily in a 28 day cycle. For the phase II portion, the RP2D dose of ribociclib will be based on the phase I run-in.

In the phase II cohort, a two week lead-in of bicalutamide monotherapy will occur before cycle 1 combination therapy (Day -14 to day -1). Then ribociclib will be added on day 1 of cycle 1. This lead-in will be for CTC androgen receptor analysis.

Inclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria
  • Prior therapy with AR antagonists including but not limited to bicalutamide, enzalutamide, abiraterone and orteronel.

  • Prior therapy with any CDK 4/6 inhibitors with the exception of participation in a window or preoperative study for Stage I-III operable breast cancer..

  • Active infection requiring systemic therapy.

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding (NOTE: breast milk cannot be stored for future use while the mother is being treated on study).

  • Treatment with any investigational drug within 14 days prior to registration or within 5 half-lives of the investigational product, whichever is longer. Immunotherapies such as PD-L1 or PD-1 inhibitors only require a 14 day window, regardless of half-life. Investigational imaging agents are not included in this definition and are allowed.

  • Subject who has received radiotherapy <14 days prior to registration, and who has not recovered to grade 1 or better from related side effects of such therapy (exceptions include alopecia and any adverse events deemed by the investigator to be unlikely to interfere with the study drug safety).

    • Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias (e.g. ventricular tachycardia) or clinically significant, complete left bundle branch block, high-grade AV block (e.g. bifascicular block, Mobitz type II and third-degree AV block).
    • Any episode of atrial fibrillation in the prior 12 months.
    • Long QT syndrome or family history of idiopathic sudden death or congenital long QT syndrome.
    • Concomitant use of medication(s) with a known risk to prolong the QT interval and/or known to cause Torsades de Pointe that cannot be discontinued (within 5 half-lives or 7 days prior to starting study drug) or replaced by safe alternative medication. See ManualDocuments/Info tab of the EDC for list of medications.
    • Systolic blood pressure (SBP) >160 mmHg or <90 mmHg at screening.
  • Currently receiving any known strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4/5 which cannot be discontinued 7 days prior to starting study drug (see Appendix 1 for details).

  • Subject is currently receiving or has received systemic corticosteroids <14 days prior to starting study drugs. The following uses of corticosteroids are permitted: a short duration (<5 days) of systemic corticosteroidssingle doses, any duration of topical applications (e.g., for rash), inhaled sprays (e.g., for obstructive airways diseases), eye drops or local injections (e.g., intra-articular).

  • Subject is currently receiving warfarin or other coumarin-derived anticoagulant for treatment, prophylaxis or otherwise. Therapy with heparin, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) or fondaparinux is allowed.

  • In subjects with a diagnosis of cirrhosis, sSubjects with a Child-Pugh score B or C are excluded. Please see chart in the ManualDocuments/Info tab of the electronic data capture system (EDC) for Child-Pugh score calculation. If subject does not have diagnosed or suspected cirrhosis, the Child-Pugh score does not need to be calculated.

  • Subjects taking herbal supplements (St. John's Wort, gingko balboa, etc.) must discontinue these supplements 14 days prior to study registration.

  • Consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit hybrids, pummelos, star-fruit, Seville oranges or products containing the juice of each within 7 days prior to study registration.
