Fulvestrant, Palbociclib and Erdafitinib in ER+/HER2-/FGFR-amplified Metastatic Breast Cancer

This is an open-label, multi-institution, phase Ib trial that evaluates the safety and tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity of fulvestrant, palbociclib and erdafitinib in patients with ER+/HER2-/FGFR-amplified metastatic breast cancer.

Primary Objectives

To determine the safety and tolerability of fulvestrant, palbociclib and erdafitinib in patients with ER+/HER2-/FGFR-amplified MBC.

Secondary Objectives

* To determine the anti-tumor effect of fulvestrant, palbociclib and erdafitinib in patients with ER+/HER2-/FGFR-amplified MBC.
* Pharmacokinetic assessments of erdafitinib

Correlative Objectives

* To determine the therapeutic predictive role of FGFR1-4, CCND1-2, CDK4 and CDK6 amplifications, and RB1 and ESR1 mutations on clinical outcome
* To determine if the FGFR1 amplification levels is an early surrogate of response
* To determine if the cfDNA results at disease progression show new genomic alterations potentially associated with resistance to CDK4/6 and FGFR inhibition
* To determine pharmacodynamic biomarkers of FGFR inhibition
