Olaparib and Durvalumab in Treating Participants With Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Anatomic Stage IV Breast Cancer AJCC v8, Estrogen Receptor Negative, HER2/Neu Negative, Progesterone Receptor Negative, Prognostic Stage IV Breast Cancer AJCC v8, Triple-Negative Breast Carcinoma

In brief

This pilot phase I trial studies whether it is feasible to conduct a detailed molecular profile of triple negative breast cancer as part of a treatment strategy that asks whether or not we can lower the chance of breast cancer growing or spreading, by treating with a combination of PARP inhibitor how well (olaparib) and immune therapy (durvalumab). Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving olaparib and durvalumab may work better in treating participants with metastatic triple negative breast cancer.

• ISH non-amplified with a ratio of HER2 to chromosome enumeration probe 17 (CEP17) < 2.0, and if reported, average HER2 gene copy number < 4 signals/cells
• Participants must have at least one measurable site of disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 that is amendable to biopsy.
• Prior therapies for metastatic breast cancer
• Frontline patients who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic breast cancer are eligible,
• Patients who have received =< 2 prior chemotherapy regimens for metastatic breast cancer are eligible
• Participants must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior treatment to grade 1 or less, except alopecia and =< grade 2 neuropathy which are allowed
• Participants' life expectancy must be > 6 months
• Participant must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2
• Participant must consent to undergo a pre-treatment screening biopsy for enrollment and subsequent biomarker analyses.
• Participants must consent to undergo one mandatory on-study tumor biopsy following a 4 week, single cycle induction treatment of olaparib. A second on-study biopsy at time of disease progression is optional, but not mandatory.
• Participants must not have had prior immunotherapy with anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-1, anti-CTLA4 or similar drugs.

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1.5 x 10\^9 /L (at time of registration and within 4 weeks prior to initiating on-protocol treatment)
• May be waived on a case-by-case basis for patient populations recognized to have normal baseline values below this level.
• Platelets >= 100 x 10\^9 /L (at time of registration and within 4 weeks prior to initiating on-protocol treatment)
• Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL or >= 5.6 mmol/L (at time of registration and within 4 weeks prior to initiating on-protocol treatment)

You may not qualify if…

• EXCLUSION - PARTICIPANT: Currently participating and receiving study therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigation device within 4 weeks of first dose of treatment.
• Individuals in the follow-up phase of a prior investigational study may participate as long as it has been 4 weeks since last dose of the previous investigational agent of device.
