About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Dose-Escalation Study of XL147 (SAR245408) or XL765 (SAR245409) in Combination With Letrozole in Subjects With Hormone Receptor-Positive and HER2-Negative Breast Cancer Refractory to a Nonsteroidal Aromatase Inhibitor

Phase 1 of this study will evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of XL147 when given in combination with letrozole (Femara) and of XL765 when given in combination with letrozole. After the MTD is established for each combination (Phase 2), subjects will be enrolled to evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of these combinations in subjects with breast cancer refractory to a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that is ER+/PGR+ and HER2-. Letrozole is used in the treatment of different types of breast cancer, but patients can develop resistance.

Upregulation of PI3K activity is one of the most common characteristics of human cancer cells, including breast tumor cells. Activation of PI3K results in stimulation of AKT and mTOR kinases, resulting in the promotion of tumor cell proliferation and survival. Preclinical and retrospective clinical data suggest that aberrant activation of the PI3K pathway may play a role in aromatase inhibitor resistance in patients with ER+, HER2- breast cancer. XL147 is a potent inhibitor of PI3K, and XL765 is a potent dual inhibitor of PI3K and mTOR; therefore either of these compounds in combination with letrozole warrants clinical investigation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and tolerability of XL147 and letrozole and XL765 and letrozole

    Measured: at weekly and bi-weekly study visits

  2. In Phase 1, to determine the maximum tolerated dose of XL147 in combination with letrozole and of XL765 in combination with letrozole

    Measured: assessed by weekly study visits

  3. In Phase 2, to evaluate progression-free survival at 3 months

    Measured: tumor assessments at Week 13 and every 8 weeks thereafter

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. In Phase 2, to assess other clinical benefit and efficacy parameters

    Measured: tumor assessments at Week 13 and every 8 weeks thereafter

  2. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of XL147, XL765 and letrozole

    Measured: assessed every 2 weeks, then every 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing XL147 (SAR245408), XL765 (SAR245409) and letrozole (Femara) in people with Breast Cancer, run by Sanofi at 17 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States, Spain, France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and tolerability of XL147 and letrozole and XL765 and letrozole (time frame: at weekly and bi-weekly study visits). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Jun 2016.
