• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2026-05-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

This is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lerociclib in combination with standard endocrine therapy in women with HR+/HER2- MBC.

The study population will consist of either newly diagnosed, treatment naïve women with HR+/HER2- MBC (1L population) or women with HR+/HER2- MBC who have already progressed on first line endocrine therapy such as tamoxifen, anastrozole, or letrozole (2L population). All participants must either be postmenopausal or receiving active ovarian suppression (goserelin).

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: EQRx, Inc.
• Treatments: Fulvestrant; Letrozole

3. Advanced (loco regionally recurrent not amenable to curative therapy, eg, surgery and/or radiotherapy, or metastatic) breast cancer

4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0 or 1.

5. Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac repolarization abnormality

6. Has received prior treatment with chemotherapy (except for neoadjuvant/ adjuvant chemotherapy) or any CDK4/6 inhibitor.

• Those that have a known risk to prolong the QT interval or induce Torsades de Pointes.

• Those that have a narrow therapeutic window and are predominantly metabolized through CYP3A4/5.

9. Echocardiogram done within the past 12 months with ejection fraction of ≤ 45% or documented history of congestive heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

10. Evidence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection or oral temperature > 38°C at screening
