TOPAZ: Tucatinib in COmbination With Pembrolizumab And TrastuZumab in Patients With HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Brain Metastases

Study Purpose

This is a single arm, open label trial to assess the safety and efficacy of tucatinib in combination with pembrolizumab and trastuzumab for the treatment of HER2+ breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM). A total of 33 patients with untreated or previously treated and progressing HER2+ BCBM not requiring urgent central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy will be enrolled. The study will determine the recommended dose of tucatinib in this combination and assess the efficacy of this combination in controlling CNS disease in patients with HER2+ BCBM.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04512261
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Tucatinib + Pembrolizumab + Trastuzumab

Patients will receive a combination therapy of tucatinib with pembrolizumab and trastuzumab during the treatment period until progression, treatment intolerance, or patient withdrawal from study. Tucatinib and pembrolizumab are administered as experimental use while trastuzumab is administered per standard use. Patients are expected to be on treatment for at least 12 weeks.

Interventions

Drug: - Tucatinib

Initial dosage of trial treatment for tucatinib will be given as 300 mg (dispensed as 2 x 150 mg tablets) orally twice a day for Days 1 - 21 of each 3-week cycle during the treatment period.

Drug: - Pembrolizumab

Initial dosage of trial treatment for pembrolizumab will be given as 200 mg by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle during the treatment period. Pembrolizumab will be administered for a maximum of 35 doses.

Drug: - Trastuzumab

Initial dosage of trial treatment for trastuzumab will be given as 8 mg/kg by intravenous (IV) infusion once on Day 1 of Cycle 1, and 6 mg/kg by IV every 3 weeks on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle starting on Cycle 2 during the treatment period.
