Phase 1 Trial of Tucatinib, Trastuzumab, and Capecitabine With Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) in Patients With Brain Metastases From HER-2 Positive Breast Cancer
This research study will evaluate how well brain metastases associated with HER-2 positive breast cancer can be controlled using a type of radiation known as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) when combined with three therapeutic agents, tucatinib, capecitabine, and trastuzumab. The combined use of SRS with the three drugs is considered investigational.
⁃ Histologically confirmed HER-2 -positive breast cancer with newly-diagnosed brain metastases.
⁃ ECOG Performance Status (PS) of 0, 1, 2
⁃ Patients with 1-10 brain metastases will be candidates for tucatinib, capecitabine, and trastuzumab with SRS at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist. Intra-cranial brain metastasis must measure 3 cm or less in the greatest dimension
⁃ Age 18 years or greater and being willing and able to sign a written informed consent. A signed informed consent must be obtained prior to any study specific procedures
⁃ Life expectancy at least 12 weeks
⁃ Any number of prior systemic therapies will be allowed, except tucatinib and capecitabine.
⁃ Hemoglobin ≥ 9g/dL, White blood count ≥3.0 × 10\^9/ L , Absolute Granulocyte count ≥1.5x 10\^9/ L and platelet count ≥100 × 10\^9/ L.
⁃ Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN
⁃ AST and / or ALT \<= 2 × ULN (≤ 5 × ULN when clearly attributable to the presence of liver metastases)
‣ Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or calculated creatinine clearance \> 60mL/min
‣ Ability to comply with study procedures and monitoring
‣ For women of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test should be obtained within one week prior to the start of therapy
‣ Male or female patients of reproductive potential need to employ two highly effective and acceptable forms of contraception throughout their participation in the study and for 7 months after last dose of tucatinib, capecitabine and trastuzumab.
∙ Highly effective and acceptable forms of contraception are:
• Male condom plus spermicide
• Cap plus spermicide
• Diaphragm plus spermicide
• Copper T
• Progesterone T
• Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (e.g., Mirena®)
• Implants
• Hormone shot or injection
• Combined pill
• Mini-pill
• Patch
∙ Postmenopausal woman on the study (that will not need contraception) is defined as:
• Amenorrhoeic for 1 year or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments
• LH and FSH levels in the postmenopausal range for women under 50
• Radiation-induced oophorectomy with last menses \> 1 year ago
• Chemotherapy-induced menopause with \>1 year interval since last menses
• Surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).
∙ Men and women and members of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this trial.
