Nivolumab and Eribulin in HER2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer

Phase 1

• Conditions: Metastatic Breast Cancer
• Interventions: Drug: Nivolumab

• Registration Number: NCT04061863
• Lead Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital

Brief Summary

Cancer therapeutics such as chemotherapy may modulate tumor/immune-system interactions in favor of the immune system. Chemotherapy can result in tumor cell death with a resultant increase in tumor antigen delivery to antigen-presenting cells. Therefore, combining immunotherapy (Nivolumab) with chemotherapy (Eribulin) is a promising anti-cancer strategy.

Exclusion Criteria

• Previous treatment with eribulin mesylate or any anti-PD-1, PD-L1, or PD-L2
• Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.
• Known central nervous system (CNS) disease, except for those subjects with treated brain metastasis who are stable for at least 1 month, having no evidence of progression or hemorrhage after treatment and no ongoing requirement for corticosteroids, as ascertained by clinical examination and brain imaging (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] or computed tomography [CT]) during the screening period
• Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive
• Known active hepatitis B or hepatitis C (eg, HCV RNA detected)
• Any other malignancy that required treatment or has shown evidence of recurrence (except for nonmelanoma skin cancer, or histologically confirmed complete excision of carcinoma in situ) during the 3 years prior to enrollment in this study
• History of significant cardiovascular disease
• Hypersensitivity to the active substance or any other excipients of the eribulin mesylate drug product, or to nivolumab
• Scheduled for major surgery during the study
• Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment. The use of physiologic doses of corticosteroids may be allowed
• Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or current pneumonitis
• Has a history of interstitial lung disease
• Has received a live-virus vaccination within 30 days of planned start of study therapy. Seasonal flu vaccines that do not contain live virus are permitted.
