Study Summary

This trial is studying how well the combination of drugs works in treating patients with breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced HER2+ breast cancer that has progressed after previous treatments. Participants must have measurable disease, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1), and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. They should agree to use contraception and provide tissue samples. Key organ functions like kidney, liver, heart, and blood must meet specific criteria.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The AVIATOR study tests different drug combinations for HER2+ breast cancer: Group A gets Trastuzumab + Vinorelbine; Group B adds Avelumab to this combo; Group C includes all these plus Utomilumab. The goal is to compare the effectiveness of these regimens.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system due to drugs like Avelumab and Utomilumab, which may cause inflammation in various organs. Other common side effects can include fatigue, nausea from chemotherapy agents like Vinorelbine, and infusion-related reactions.

Group II: Trastuzumab + Vinorelbine + AvelumabExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Trastuzumab is administered intravenously twice per cycle Vinorelbine is administered intravenously 3 times per cycle Avelumab is administered intravenously twice per cycle Antihistamine and with acetaminophen is mandatory 30 to 60 minutes prior to each dose of avelumab
Group III: Trastuzumab + VinorelbineExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Trastuzumab is administered intravenously twice per cycle Vinorelbine is administered intravenously 3 times per cycle
Group IV: Trastuzumab + Avelumab + UtomilumabExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
This is a crossover arm Avelumab is administered intravenously twice per cycle Antihistamine and with acetaminophen is mandatory 30 to 60 minutes prior to each dose of avelumab Utomilumab is administered intravenously once per cycle Trastuzumab is administered intravenously twice per cycle
