Study Summary

This trial compares 2 treatments for metastatic breast cancer with an NF1 genetic change, to see if adding binimetinib can make the treatment more effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer that has an NF1 genetic change. Participants must have had prior treatment with fulvestrant, can have one chemotherapy line in the metastatic setting, and need to be able to undergo a biopsy. They should not be pregnant, have untreated brain metastasis, severe autoimmune diseases, or any condition that could affect the study's safety.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares standard hormonal therapy (fulvestrant) alone versus combining it with binimetinib—a drug targeting enzymes involved in cell growth—in patients whose tumors carry an NF1 mutation. The goal is to see if adding binimetinib improves tumor shrinkage and delays progression compared to fulvestrant alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Fulvestrant may cause injection site reactions, nausea, and fatigue. Binimetinib might lead to skin rash, high blood pressure, muscle pain or weakness; it also carries risks of eye problems like blurred vision or retinal vein occlusion.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Cohort II (fulvestrant, binimetinib)Experimental Treatment9 Interventions
Patients receive fulvestrant IM on day 1 of each cycle and binimetinib PO BID on days 15-28 of cycle 1 and day 1 through 28 of subsequent cycles. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo a CT, MRI, or bone scan, ECHO or MUGA and tumor biopsy, as well as possible blood sample collection during screening and on study.
Group II: Cohort I (Arm I) (fulvestrant, binimetinib)Experimental Treatment9 Interventions
Patients receive fulvestrant IM on day 1 and day 15 of cycle 1 and day 1 of subsequent cycles and binimetinib PO BID on days 15 to 28 of cycle 1 and day 1 through 28 of subsequent cycles. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo a CT, MRI, or bone scan, ECHO or MUGA, and tumor biopsy, as well as possible blood sample collection during screening and on study.
Group III: Cohort I (Arm II)Active Control8 Interventions
Patients receive fulvestrant IM on day 1 and day 15 of cycle 1 and day 1 of subsequent cycles. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who progress on fulvestrant alone may migrate to cohort II if they meet the migration eligibility criteria. Patients not willing to migrate to cohort II will have further therapy at the investigator's discretion. Patients undergo a CT, MRI, or bone scan and tumor biopsy, as well as ECHO or MUGA and possible blood sample collection during screening and on study.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has the administration granted authorization for Cohort I (Arm I) treatments of fulvestrant and binimetinib?

"Due to the Phase 2 trial status of Cohort I (Arm I) (fulvestrant, binimetinib), our team at Power rated it a reassuring score of two on a scale from one to three. This indicates that there is limited evidence for its efficacy but satisfactory data confirming safety."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment still open for this research endeavor?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov documentation demonstrates that this scientific trial, initially posted on March 6th 2023, is actively recruiting participants. The study requires 95 patients to be enrolled from a single site."

Answered by AI

How many participants are included in the current iteration of this research?

"Affirmative. According to the information hosted on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical study is presently seeking out participants and was initially posted on March 6th 2023 with its most recent update taking place two days later. The trial needs 95 individuals from a sole location in order to proceed."

Answered by AI

What potential outcomes does this research endeavor hope to realize?

"The primary goal of this trial, evaluated up to five years from randomization until either progression or death due to any cause, is the Objective Response Rate (ORR) in Cohort II. Secondary objectives include assessing ORR in Cohort II which measures complete and partial response according to RECIST v1.1 after treatment start; tabulating adverse events graded by CTCAE version 5.0 with semi-annual review by a Data Monitoring Committee; and calculating Clinical Benefit Rate as proportion of patients who achieved CR, PR or stable disease based on RECIST criteria for each study arm separately with 95% exact CI using Fisher's Ex"
