a study of sacituzumab with chemoimmunotherapy to treat advanced triple-negative breast cancer after prior therapies

Conditions: Advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Summary: this is a phase 1b/2 open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy in combination with chemoimmunotherapy (cyclophosphamide, n-803, and pd-l1 t-hank) in subjects with triple negative breast cancer (tnbc) after at least 2 prior treatments for metastatic disease.

in part 1 of phase 1b, 3 to 6 subjects will be sequentially enrolled starting at dose level 1 and will be assessed for dose limiting toxicities (dlts). dose level cohorts for sacituzumab govitecan-hziy are as follows: * dose level 1: sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (7.5 mg/kg iv) * dose level 2: sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (10 mg/kg iv) * dose level 1 (if needed): sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (5.0 mg/kg iv) in part 2 of phase 1b, dose expansion will occur when the rp2d has been determined. an additional 4 subjects may be enrolled, for a total of up to 10 subjects at the rp2d. following part 2 of the phase 1b portion of the study, the safety review committee (src) will meet to determine if enrollment into phase 2 should proceed. in the phase 2 portion of the study, 22 subjects will be enrolled at the rp2d in the first stage of simon's two stage optimal design. if ≥ 9 of 22 subjects exhibit a confirmed response, the study will proceed to the second stage. if the study proceeds to the second stage, an additional 41 subjects will be enrolled for a total of 63 subjects in the phase 2. if ≥ 27 of the 63 subjects exhibit a confirmed response, the combination therapy will be considered for further development. all subjects may receive up to 17 cycles (ie, 51 weeks) of treatment administered in 3-week cycles.

Eligibility criteria:
