A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Giredestrant in Combination With Phesgo (Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab, and Hyaluronidase-zzxf) Versus Phesgo in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer (heredERA Breast Cancer)

Running, not enrolling · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

In brief

This Phase III, randomized, two-arm, open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of giredestrant plus Phesgo compared with Phesgo after induction therapy with Phesgo plus taxane in participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive advanced breast cancer (metastatic or locally advanced disease not amenable to curative treatment) who have not previously received a systemic non-hormonal anti-cancer therapy in the advanced setting.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Histologically or cytologically confirmed and documented human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive/estrogen receptor (ER)-positive adenocarcinoma of the breast with metastatic or locally-advanced disease not amenable to curative resection
• At least one measurable lesion and/or non-measurable disease evaluable according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1
• Disease-free interval from completion of adjuvant or neoadjuvant systemic non-hormonal treatment to recurrence of ≥6 months
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 or 1
• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of at least (≥)50% measured by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multiple-gated acquisition scan (MUGA)
• Adequate hematologic and end-organ function
• For women of childbearing potential: Participants who agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception, and agree to refrain from donating eggs, during the treatment period and for 7 months after the final dose of Phesgo
• For men: participants who agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a condom, and agree to refrain from donating sperm, during the treatment period and for 7 months after the final dose of Phesgo to avoid exposing the embryo
• Maintenance Phase Inclusion Criteria
• Complete a minimum of four cycles to a maximum of eight cycles of induction therapy; the minimum cycles are defined as either: Phesgo injections + 4 docetaxel infusions, or Phesgo injections + 12 paclitaxel infusions
• Achieve a minimum of stable disease (SD) (or Non-complete response [CR]/Non-progressive disease [PD] for participants with non-measurable disease) (i.e., did not experience PD) according to RECIST v1.1 at the last tumor assessment during the induction therapy phase
• LVEF of ≥50% at the last assessment during the induction therapy phase

You may not qualify if…

• Previous systemic non-hormonal anti-cancer therapy in the metastatic breast cancer (MBC) or advanced breast cancer (ABC) setting. Note: Up to one line of single-agent endocrine therapy given in the metastatic or locally advanced setting will be allowed.
• Prior treatment with a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD)
• Previous treatment with approved or investigative anti-HER2 agents in any breast cancer treatment setting, except Phesgo (or trastuzumab SC with pertuzumab IV, or pertuzumab and trastuzumab IV), single-agent trastuzumab IV or SC, ado-trastuzumab emtansine, lapatinib, and neratinib in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting
• Disease progression within 6 months of receiving adjuvant anti-HER2 therapy (such as trastuzumab, with or without pertuzumab [IV, SC, or fixed-dose combination], or ado-trastuzumab emtansine, or neratinib)
• Non-resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior anti-cancer therapy or surgical procedures to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE v5.0) Grade 1 or better
• History of persistent Grade ≥2 (NCI-CTC, Version 5.0) hematological toxicity resulting from previous adjuvant or neo-adjuvant therapy
• History of exposure to the following cumulative doses of anthracyclines; Doxorubicin >360 mg/m2; Liposomal doxorubicin >500 mg/m2; Epirubucin >720 mg/m2; Mitoxantrone >120 mg/m2; Idarubicin >90 mg/m2.
• Known active uncontrolled or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases, carcinomatous meningitis, or leptomeningeal disease
• Dyspnea at rest due to complications of advanced malignancy, or other disease requiring continuous oxygen therapy
• Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study or within 7 months after the final dose of Phesgo (Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 14 days prior to initiation of induction therapy).
• Treated with investigational therapy within 28 days prior to initiation of induction therapy
• Treated with localized palliative radiotherapy within 14 days prior to initiation of induction therapy
• Concurrent participation in any other therapeutic clinical trial
• Known hypersensitivity to any of the study medications or to excipients of recombinant human or humanized antibodies
• Current chronic daily treatment (continuous for >3 months) with corticosteroids (dose of 10 mg/day methylprednisolone or equivalent)
• Poorly controlled hypertension
• Known clinically significant history of liver disease consistent with Child-Pugh Class B or C, active liver disease including active viral or other hepatitis virus, autoimmune hepatic disorders, or sclerosing cholangitis, current alcohol abuse, or cirrhosis
• Active cardiac disease or history of cardiac dysfunction
• Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury within 14 days prior to enrollment or anticipation of need for major surgery during induction therapy
• Active inflammatory bowel disease, chronic diarrhea, short bowel syndrome, or major upper gastrointestinal surgery
• Concurrent, serious, uncontrolled infections, or known infection with HIV with the following exception: Individuals who are HIV positive are eligible provided they are stable on anti-retroviral therapy for ≥4 weeks, have a CD4 count ≥350 cells/uL, and have an undetectable viral load and no history of AIDS-defining opportunistic infections within 12 months prior to enrollment.
• Serious COVID-19 infection within 14 days prior to enrollment; however, no screening testing for SARS-CoV-2 is required
• Serious infection requiring oral or IV antibiotics within 7 days prior to screening
• Any serious medical condition or abnormality in clinical laboratory tests that precludes an individual's safe participation in the study
• History of malignancy within 5 years prior to screening with the exception of the cancer under investigation in this study and malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death
