InCITe Trial Summary

This trial is studying avelumab in combination with two other drugs to treat triple negative breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with stage IV or unresectable, recurrent triple negative breast cancer. Participants must be over 18, have an ECOG status of 0 or 1 (which means they are fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory), and adequate organ function. They should not have had more than two chemotherapy treatments in the metastatic setting nor more than one prior checkpoint inhibitor therapy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests avelumab combined with liposomal doxorubicin, with/without binimetinib, or paired with sacituzumab govitecan to see which works best for treating patients. Avelumab is an immunotherapy drug; sacituzumab govitecan targets tumor cells directly; liposomal doxorubicin is a chemo drug that may reduce side effects; binimetinib blocks enzymes needed for cell growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune system reactions due to avelumab, heart problems from liposomal doxorubicin, liver issues from binimetinib, and typical chemotherapy-related symptoms like nausea and fatigue. Sacituzumab govitecan can cause targeted cell death leading to reduced blood counts and increased risk of infections.

Patients will receive a 15-day lead-in of binimetinib, followed by binimetinib PO BID and avelumab IV over 60 minutes every 2 weeks. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group IV: Arm C (avelumab, liposomal doxorubicin)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients will receive a 15-day lead-in of liposomal doxorubicin, followed by liposomal doxorubicin on Day 1 and 10mg/kg avelumab over 60 minutes on Day 1 and Day 15. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group V: Arm B (avelumab, sacituzumab govitecan)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients will receive a 15-day lead-in of sacituzumab govitecan given on day -15, followed by sacituzumab govitecan day 8 and day 15 of Cycle (C) 1; day 1,8, and 21 of C2; day 1, 15 and 21 of C3; day 8 and 15 of C4, and schedule continues with two weeks on, one week off for 21-day cycles. Patients also receive 10mg/kg avelumab over 60 minutes on day 1 and day 15 of each 28 day cycle. Cycles repeat in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group VI: Arm A (avelumab, binimetinib, liposomal doxorubicin)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive a 15 day lead-in of binimetinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive binimetinib PO BID on days 1-28, avelumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15, and liposomal doxorubicin IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
