What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial evaluates the effectiveness of different treatment combinations for individuals with breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It focuses on four groups: those with a specific type of untreated breast cancer, those whose cancer worsened after chemotherapy, and those with certain gene mutations. Suitable candidates include individuals whose breast cancer has spread or cannot be surgically treated and has progressed despite standard treatments. Participants will test various treatment combinations, including Atezolizumab (Tecentriq, an immunotherapy drug), to determine which are safest and most effective. As a Phase 1 trial, the research aims to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants a chance to contribute to groundbreaking research.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that you stop taking certain medications before starting, such as investigational therapies, biologic treatments, and systemic immunosuppressive medications, at least 2 weeks prior to the study. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the study team to see if they are allowed.

Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?

Research has shown that the drugs tested in this trial have varying safety levels based on earlier studies. Atezolizumab, used in other breast cancer treatments, is usually well-tolerated but can cause common side effects like tiredness and nausea, with a risk of more serious issues like infections.

Capecitabine, also used in breast cancer treatment, often causes side effects such as tiredness, diarrhea, and hand-foot syndrome, which involves redness and swelling of the hands and feet.

Gemcitabine, when combined with carboplatin or eribulin, has been effective in breast cancer, with manageable side effects like low blood cell counts and tiredness.

Ipatasertib, when used with other drugs like paclitaxel, generally has manageable side effects, though it may cause diarrhea and nausea.

Nab-Paclitaxel is approved for breast cancer treatment, with common side effects including low blood cell counts and nerve pain.

Sacituzumab govitecan can cause side effects such as diarrhea and low blood cell counts, similar to those of standard chemotherapy.

Selicrelumab is an experimental drug that has shown promise but requires more data to fully understand its safety.

SGN-LIV1A has been tested in other trials and generally shows good tolerability, with side effects similar to other cancer treatments.

Tocilizumab, used for other conditions, carries risks of serious infections but is generally considered safe with careful monitoring.

Overall, these treatments have demonstrated a range of tolerability in various studies. Participants should consider these factors and consult healthcare providers when deciding about joining the trial.12345

Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?

Researchers are excited about these treatments for breast cancer because they offer innovative combinations that might outperform existing therapies. Unlike standard options, which often focus on single-agent therapies, these investigational treatments combine multiple drugs to target cancer cells more effectively. For example, combining inavolisib with ribociclib and letrozole or fulvestrant brings together different mechanisms that may suppress tumor growth more effectively in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Additionally, the combination of inavolisib with trastuzumab deruxtecan targets HER2+/HER2-low breast cancer, potentially offering a new avenue for patients with these specific cancer subtypes. These tailored approaches aim to improve outcomes by addressing the cancer's unique biology.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for breast cancer?

Studies have shown promising results for several treatment combinations for advanced breast cancer. In this trial, one treatment arm combines inavolisib, ribociclib, and fulvestrant, leading to a median survival of 34 months, a significant improvement over other treatments. Another arm tests inavolisib with trastuzumab deruxtecan, which has effectively slowed cancer progression. Additionally, the trial includes a combination of atezolizumab with chemotherapy drugs like gemcitabine and carboplatin, which previous studies have shown to improve survival rates. These findings suggest that these combinations might effectively treat advanced breast cancer, offering hope for better outcomes.678910

Published Research Related to This Trial

Combination therapies using paclitaxel with other antineoplastic agents show promise for treating metastatic breast cancer, but optimal dosing and scheduling remain unclear, which complicates their development.
Unexpected toxic interactions between paclitaxel and other drugs have been observed, highlighting the need for careful evaluation of combination therapies in clinical trials before they are used outside of research settings.
Paclitaxel combination therapy in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer: a review.Holmes, FA.[2015]
Capecitabine is a well-tolerated treatment for metastatic breast cancer, showing minimal side effects like myelosuppression and hair loss, which makes it a promising option for combination therapies with other anticancer drugs.
Ongoing phase II/III trials are investigating the use of capecitabine in early breast cancer treatment, and preliminary results indicate that it may provide significant benefits when used as part of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy.
Future options with capecitabine (Xeloda) in (neo)adjuvant treatment of breast cancer.Fumoleau, P., Cameron, D.[2019]
In the IMpassion131 trial involving 651 patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer, adding atezolizumab to paclitaxel did not improve progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) compared to paclitaxel alone, indicating that this combination may not provide the expected benefits in treatment outcomes.
While the addition of atezolizumab showed a higher unconfirmed overall response rate and longer duration of response in the PD-L1-positive population, the overall survival results were similar between the two treatment groups, suggesting that the combination therapy does not significantly enhance long-term survival.
