Ribociclib and Aromatase Inhibitor in Treating Older Participants With Hormone Receptor Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Trial end date: 2021-12-14
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase IIA trial studies the side effects of ribociclib and aromatase inhibitor and how well they work in treating participants with hormone receptor positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Ribociclib and aromatase inhibitors may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

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

Details

• Lead Sponsor: City of Hope Medical Center
• Collaborator: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
• Treatments: Aromatase Inhibitors; Estrogens; Hormones

• Resting heart rate 50-90 beats per minute (bpm)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient received prior treatment with any CDK4/6 inhibitor

• Patient has a known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of ribociclib

• Patients with a prior malignancy diagnosed within 2 years AND with evidence of disease (except adequately treated, basal or squamous cell carcinoma, non-melanomatous skin cancer or curatively resected cervical cancer)

• Patient with concurrent malignancy that is not clinically stable AND needs tumor-directed therapy

• Patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement unless they meet ALL the following criteria:

• Previously treated brain metastases not needing immediate local therapy

• At least 4 weeks from prior therapy completion (including radiation and/or surgery) to starting the study treatment

• Clinically stable CNS tumor at the time of screening and not receiving steroids and/or enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic medications for brain metastases

• Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac repolarization abnormalities, including any of the following:

• History of acute coronary syndromes (including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary angioplasty, or stenting) or symptomatic pericarditis within 6 months prior to screening

• Documented cardiomyopathy

• Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias (e.g. ventricular tachycardia), complete left bundle branch block, high-grade AV block (e.g. bifascicular block, Mobitz type II and third-degree AV block).

• Long QT syndrome or family history of idiopathic sudden death or congenital long QT syndrome, or any of the following:

• Risk factors for Torsades de Pointe (TdP) including uncorrected hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, history of cardiac failure, or history of clinically significant/symptomatic bradycardia

• Concomitant use of medication(s) with a known risk to prolong the QT interval and/or known to cause Torsades de Pointe that cannot be discontinued (within 5 half-lives or 7 days prior to starting study drug) or replaced by safe alternative medication

• Inability to determine the QT interval on screening (QTcF, using Fridericia's correction)

• Systolic blood pressure (SBP) > 160 mmHg or < 90 mmHg at screening

• Patient is currently receiving any of the following medications and cannot be discontinued 7 days prior to starting study drug:

• Known strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4/5, including grapefruit, grapefruit hybrids, pummelos, star-fruit, and Seville oranges

• That have a narrow therapeutic window and are predominantly metabolized through CYP3A4/5

• Herbal preparations/medications, dietary supplements

• Warfarin or other coumadin-derived anticoagulant for treatment, prophylaxis or otherwise. Therapy with heparin, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), newer anticoagulation agents such as direct factor Xa inhibitors, or fondaparinux is allowed

• Patient is currently receiving or has received systemic corticosteroids =< 2 weeks prior to starting study drug, or who have not fully recovered from side effects of such treatment

• The following uses of corticosteroids are permitted: single doses, topical applications (e.g., for rash), inhaled sprays (e.g., for obstructive airways diseases), eye drops or local injections (e.g., intra-articular)

• Patient has impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of the study drugs (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection)

• Patient has any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, cause unacceptable safety risks, contraindicate patient participation in the clinical study or compromise compliance with the protocol (e.g. chronic pancreatitis, chronic active hepatitis, active untreated or uncontrolled fungal, bacterial or viral infections, etc.)

• Participation in a prior investigational study within 30 days prior to enrollment or within 5 half-lives of the investigational product, whichever is longer
