Patient case: 70-year-old female with breast cancer; genetic feature: AURKA amplification

Clinical trial: MM-398 (Nanoliposomal Irinotecan, Nal-IRI) to Determine Tumor Drug Levels and to Evaluate the Feasibility of Ferumoxytol Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Measure Tumor Associated Macrophages and to Predict Patient Response to Treatment

Summary: This is a Phase I study to understand the biodistribution of MM-398 and to determine the feasibility of using Ferumoxytol as a tumor imaging agent.

Detailed description: This study is conducted over two phases. The pilot phase of this trial is closed. The expansion phase of this trial has completed enrolment, patients are still ongoing.
  Pilot Phase: This study will enroll approximately 12 patients, up to 20 in total in the Pilot Phase and 30 patients in the Expansion Phase. The first three patients that are enrolled in the Pilot Phase can have any solid tumor type; however subsequent patients must have Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Colorectal cancer (CRC), Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), Estrogen Receptor/Progesterone Receptor (ER/PR) positive breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma or head and neck cancer. No more than three patients with ER/PR positive breast cancer can be enrolled in the Pilot Phase and similar restrictions may be placed on other tumor types to ensure a heterogeneous population.
  Expansion Phase: The expansion will enroll patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer into three cohorts of 10 patients each depending on sub-type of breast cancer:
  Cohort 1: ER and/or PR-positive breast cancer Cohort 2: TNBC Cohort 3: BC with active brain metastasis

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:

  Expansion Phase Cohort 3 additional inclusion criteria:

  -  Known hypersensitivity to MM-398 or ferumoxytol
  -  Inability to undergo MRI
  -  Active infection
  -  Pregnant or breast feeding
  -  Prior chemotherapy administered within 3 weeks, or within a time interval less than at least 5 half-lives of the agent, whichever is longer, prior to the first scheduled day of dosing in this study
  -  Received radiation therapy in the last 14 days
  -  Treated with parenteral iron in the previous 4 weeks
