What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This randomized phase II trial studies how well cisplatin works with or without veliparib in treating patients with triple-negative breast cancer and/or BRCA mutation-associated breast cancer that has come back (recurrent) or has or has not spread to the brain (brain metastases). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, 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. PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as veliparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. It is not yet known if cisplatin is more effective with or without veliparib in treating patients with triple-negative and/or BRCA mutation-associated breast cancer.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with recurrent or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and/or BRCA mutation-associated breast cancer, which may include brain metastases. Participants must not be pregnant or nursing, agree to use contraception, have adequate organ function and no history of certain cancers or uncontrolled illnesses. Prior treatments must meet specific criteria.

Inclusion Criteria

Participants must have breast cancer that is negative for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and HER2, or have a known harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation.

Your blood needs to have a certain amount of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.

Patients of childbearing potential must not be pregnant (negative pregnancy test) or nursing due to the possibility of harm to a fetus or nursing infant from this treatment regimen; men and women of reproductive potential must have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method for 6 months after completion of study treatment

Exclusion Criteria

I haven't had cisplatin or PARP inhibitors, but carboplatin over a year ago is okay.

I have not had chemotherapy in the last 14 days.

I do not have leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome related to previous treatments.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Cisplatin
• Veliparib

Trial Overview The effectiveness of cisplatin chemotherapy with or without the addition of veliparib (a PARP inhibitor) is being tested in patients. The study aims to determine if preventing tumor cells from repairing DNA mutations using veliparib enhances treatment outcomes compared to cisplatin alone.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Arm II (cisplatin and veliparib) Experimental Treatment 3 Interventions

Patients receive cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 and veliparib PO BID on days 1-14. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Group II: Arm I (cisplatin and placebo) Active Control 3 Interventions

Patients receive cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 and placebo PO BID on days 1-14. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
