Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of copanlisib and how well it works when given together with eribulin in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread from wehre it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Copanlisib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as eribulin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving copanlisib and eribulin may work better in treating advanced stage triple negative breast cancer compared to eribulin alone.

Treatment Details

Interventions

  • Copanlisib Hydrochloride
  • Eribulin Mesylate
Trial Overview The trial is testing the combination of copanlisib hydrochloride (which blocks enzymes needed for cell growth) with eribulin mesylate (a chemotherapy drug that kills or stops cancer cells from growing). The study aims to determine the best dose of copanlisib and its effectiveness when combined with eribulin compared to using eribulin alone in treating advanced triple negative breast cancer.
Participant Groups
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Group II (eribulin, copanlisib)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive copanlisib IV over 1 hour and eribulin IV over 2 to 5 minutes on days 1 and 8 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo a CT scan and/or MRI at screening, cycle 3 day 1, and every 9 weeks thereafter. Patients also undergo a biopsy at baseline, cycle 2 day 1, and at time of disease progression and blood sample collection at baseline, cycle 2 day 1, every 9 weeks and at time of disease progression.
Group II: Group I (eribulin)Active Control5 Interventions
Patients receive eribulin IV over 2 to 5 minutes on days 1 and 8 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo a CT scan and/or MRI at screening, cycle 3 day 1, and every 9 weeks thereafter. Patients also undergo a biopsy at baseline, cycle 2 day 1, and at time of disease progression and blood sample collection at baseline, cycle 2 day 1, every 9 weeks and at time of disease progression.
