Background: MEN1611 (MEN) is an oral PI3K inhibitor active on the p110α mutant and wild type, β and γ isoforms, while sparing the δ. B-PRECISE-01 is an open-label, 2-arm, phase 1b study investigating MEN1611 in combination with trastuzumab ± fulvestrant in patients with HER2 positive/PIK3CA mutated metastatic breast cancer (MBC). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed during the dose-escalation step and MEN1611 48 mg BID was selected as the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for cohort expansion (CE). Methods: Eligible patients had HER2+/PIK3CA-mutated MBC and were treated with at least 2 prior lines of anti-HER2-based therapy in the advanced/metastatic setting including trastuzumab. Patients received MEN1611 + trastuzumab (MEN+T); hormone receptor positive (HR+) postmenopausal women received M+ T + fulvestrant (MEN+T+F). Recruitment was closed in December 2021. Pooled safety and efficacy data from the two subpopulations of CE are presented herein. Results: As of June 2022, 62 female patients were treated: 56 of them with MEN1611 48 mg BID (25 MEN+T and 31 MEN+T+F). Median age 55.5 years (range 34-78), 21% premenopausal, ECOG PS 0-1: 95.2%. Median metastatic regimens 4; 71.0% had prior pertuzumab and 91.9% had prior T-DM1. Common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs, ≥20%) were diarrhea 66.1%, nausea 45.2%, hyperglycemia 43.6%, anemia 35.5%, asthenia 29.0%, decreased appetite 27.4%, rash 25.8%, aspartate aminotransferase increased 22.6%, vomiting 22.6%, and pyrexia 22.6%. Common TEAEs with CTCAE grade ≥3 (≥10%) were hyperglycemia (22.6%) and diarrhea (11.3%). Most treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) were reversible and manageable by supportive care. TEAEs leading to permanent treatment discontinuation occurred in 9 patients (14.5%), the only TEAE occurring in more than one patient was lipase increased (3.2%). TEAEs caused temporary treatment interruptions in 32 patients (51.6%), the most common being hyperglycemia (21.0%) and diarrhea (9.7%). TEAEs leading to dose reduction occurred in 14 patients (22.6%), the most common being diarrhea (6.5%), hyperglycemia (3.2%) and stomatitis (3.2%). Serious TRAEs were experienced by 12 patients (19.4%): hyperglycemia 6 patients, diarrhea 3 patients, anemia, general physical health deterioration, generalized edema, lipase increased, ketoacidosis and pneumonitis (1 patient each). In the efficacy-evaluable population at the RP2D (n=41) 14 patients (34.1%) showed partial response (MEN+T 5/15, MEN+T+F 9/26), 1 patient (2.4%) had a complete response (MEN+T 1/15) and 23 patients (56.1%) had stable disease (MEN+T 6/15, MEN+T+F 17/26) as best response. At the RP2D, the median (95% CI) overall survival (OS) was 21.9 (11.9, NE) months and the median (95% CI) progression free survival (PFS) 5.6 (3.7, 7.2) months. In the MEN+T group, the median OS was 11.9 (5.7, NE) months and median PFS 3.9 (2.3, 6.7) months. In the MEN+T+F group the median OS was 21.9 (16.9, NE) months and median PFS 5.7 (3.7, 11.5) months. Five patients continue on treatment. Conclusions: Updated results from B-PRECISE-01 demonstrated that MEN1611 combined with trastuzumab ± fulvestrant continued to show a manageable safety profile with encouraging anti-tumor activity and duration of response in heavily pre-treated patients with HER2+/PIK3CA-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
