About this study

Official title: Phase I and Phase I Trastuzumab Cohort Study of Entinostat, Lapatinib and Trastuzumab in Patients With HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer in Whom Trastuzumab Has Failed

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of entinostat when given together with lapatinib ditosylate and trastuzumab in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to distant organs or distant lymph nodes or has recurred (come back) at or near the same place as the original (primary) tumor, usually after a period of time during which the cancer could not be detected. Entinostat and lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving entinostat together with lapatinib ditosylate and trastuzumab may kill more tumor cells.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for entinostat in combination with lapatinib (lapatinib ditosylate) in patients whom trastuzumab has failed for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2+ (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (Phase I).

II. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for entinostat in combination with lapatinib and trastuzumab in patients whom trastuzumab has failed for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (Phase I Trastuzumab Cohort).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the toxicity of combination therapy with entinostat and lapatinib in patients whom trastuzumab has failed for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (Phase I).

II. To determine the toxicity of entinostat in combination with lapatinib and trastuzumab in patients whom trastuzumab has failed for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (Phase I Trastuzumab Cohort).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine whether the 2-drug combination modulates the expression of HER2, phosphorylated HER2 (pHER), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), phosphorylated EGFR (pEGFR), v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 (Akt), and phosphorylated Akt (pAkt) in breast tumors and/or circulating tumor cells (CTCs).

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of entinostat.

Patients receive entinostat orally (PO) on days 1 and 15 and lapatinib tosylate PO on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients in the Phase I trastuzumab cohort also receive maintenance dose of trastuzumab intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes every 3 weeks.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 28 days or until toxicities are resolved.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Entinostat, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Lapatinib Ditosylate in people with HER2/Neu Positive and Invasive Breast Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 11 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 20 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 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.

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?

RP2D for entinostat in combination with lapatinib ditosylate defined as the highest dose level in which 6 patients have been treated with at most 1 patient experiencing dose limiting toxicity (time frame: Up to 28 days). 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 20 May 2019.
