Phase II Minimal Residual Disease Study of Selective Estrogen Receptor Degrader Imlunestrant With Cyclin-Dependent Kinase (CDK) 4/6 Inhibitor Abemaciclib in Patients With ER+ Breast Cancer (MIRI)

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure, Other, Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 2
SUMMARY

This phase II trial studies how well imlunestrant and abemaciclib work in treating patients with estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer who have tumor remaining in the blood following treatment (minimal residual disease). Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Imlunestrant lowers the amount of estrogen made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. Abemaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Imlunestrant and abemaciclib may be effective in treating patients with ER+ breast cancer who have minimal residual disease.

Minimum Age: 18
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• Participants must have localized ER+ (≥ 10% on surgical pathology), HER2 negative, any grade, invasive breast cancer. Pathological stage (from time of surgery, including patients who received neoadjuvant therapy) I - III by American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition staging

⁃ Note: Invasive breast cancer must be ER+ in ≥ 10% of the cells and HER2 negative (immunohistochemistry \[IHC\] 0 or 1+ and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization \[FISH\] negative with a ratio \< 2) by American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines. For Immunohistochemistry (IHC) 2+, the tumor must be FISH negative with a ratio \< 2. ER, progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2 measurements should be performed according to institutional (local) guidelines, in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-approved setting

• Detectable ctDNA in a CLIA-certified lab (separate pre-screening consent available) within the past six months. Participants must have no clinical or radiographic evidence of recurrence as determined by the treating investigator

• Confirmation of adequate archival tissue (either initial biopsy or surgical specimen) (15-20 unstained slides cut at 5 µm or 1 block) required before study entry. If adequate surgical tissue is available, this is preferred. Otherwise tissue from diagnostic biopsy is acceptable. If adequate tissue not available, principal investigator (PI) approval is required prior to study entry

• No prior history of other malignancies within past 5 years (besides breast cancer as per inclusion #1). Individuals with the following cancers are eligible if diagnosed and treated within the past 5 years: ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast, cervical cancer in situ, melanoma in situ, and basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. No concurrent malignancy or other serious medical condition as deemed by the investigator

• Participants may or may not have received (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy and/or biological therapy at the time of screening, with no more than grade 1 residual toxicity (except ≤ grade 2 neuropathy or ≤ grade 2 alopecia)

• Participants may or may not have received adjuvant radiotherapy, with no more than grade 1 residual toxicity

• Pre- and postmenopausal women and men are eligible. Premenopausal women must have a negative serum pregnancy test at time of screening

⁃ Pregnancy testing does not need to be pursued in female patients who are:

∙ Age ≥ 60 years; OR

‣ Age \< 60 with intact uterus AND amenorrhea for 12 consecutive months or more AND estrogen (estradiol) levels within postmenopausal range

‣ OR status-post bilateral oophorectomy, total hysterectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation

• Must be ≥ 18 years of age

• History of CDK 4/6 inhibitor is permitted provided the last dose was more than 6 months ago (from consent date)

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1 (Karnofsky ≥ 70%)

• Patients must currently be on endocrine therapy in the adjuvant setting and must have received (neo) adjuvant endocrine therapy for at least 24 months (cumulative duration)

• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Patient must sign the informed consent (ICF) prior to any screening procedures being performed and is able to comply with protocol requirements

• Participants must currently be receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy and have been on adjuvant endocrine therapy for at least 2 years. Adjuvant endocrine therapy can be either tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitor (AI), i.e prior use of any AI, including letrozole, anastrozole or exemestane, or tamoxifen is allowed. Concurrent gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GNRH) agonist is required with AI in pre - and/or peri-menopausal patients and men

• Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 10\^9/L

• Platelets ≥ 100 × 10\^9/L

• Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL

• Serum creatinine \< 1.5 mg/dL OR creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min

• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \< 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)

• Total bilirubin \< institutional 1.5 times ULN; or total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 x institutional ULN. Patients with Gilbert's Syndrome with a total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 times ULN and direct bilirubin within normal limits are permitted

• The patient is able to swallow oral medications

Treatments
Experimental: Treatment (abemaciclib, imlunestrant)
Patients receive abemaciclib PO BID and imlunestrant PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection throughout the study. Patients may also undergo radiological scans per the discretion of the treating physician throughout the study.
