A Synthetic Lethality-Focused Algorithm to Identify Therapeutic Options in Advanced Metastatic Breast Cancer (SYNTHESIS-Breast)
Conditions: Breast Cancer, Breast Carcinoma, Cancer of the Breast, Malignant Neoplasm of Breast
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 120 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 175
Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Location: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center Bethesda Maryland
Summary
Background:
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in US women. There are different types of breast cancers; some are aggressive and difficult to treat. Researchers want to know if an algorithm (ENLIGHT) can help choose approved drugs that will treat these cancers more effectively.
Objective:
To test whether ENLIGHT can find better treatments for aggressive breast cancers.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 years and older with triple-negative or endocrine therapy resistant breast cancer; the cancer must have either failed to respond to treatment or come back after treatment.
Design:
Participants will be screened. A sample of tissue taken from the tumor will be tested using ENLIGHT as well as another method (TruSight Oncology 500).
Participants will be assigned to 1 of 3 groups based on the algorithm search results:
Group 1: No drug option was recommended. Participants will continue with their standard treatment with their local doctors.
Group 2: A drug already approved for the participant's disease was recommended, but the participant has not yet received it. These results will be sent to the participant's local doctors. Participants may return to the NIH if their disease gets worse after using the suggested drugs.
Group 3: A drug approved for other uses was recommended. Participants will be treated with the recommended drugs at the NIH; their care will be managed by an NIH doctor. They will continue to receive treatment as long as the drugs are helping them. They will have follow-up visits for 2 years after treatment ends.
Participants who are not treated at the NIH will be contacted for a check on their health every 3 months for 2 years.
Eligibility Criteria
-INCLUSION CRITERIA:
1. Participants must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer. Note: Pathology testing outside NIH will be accepted for eligibility purposes.
2. Participant tumor subtypes will be enrolled as follows:
* TNBC Cohort: TNBC will be defined as ER \< 10% or PR \< 10% by immunohistochemistry (IHC).
* Endocrine-Refractory Cohort: HR+ (ER+ and/or PR+) will be defined as ER \>= 10% or PR \>= 10% by IHC.
* For both cohorts, HER2 will be considered negative if not amplified as per ASCOCAP guidelines per IHC/FISH. Note: HER2-low status will be regarded in accordance with NCCN guidelines (in which this designation serves as a predictive marker for trastuzumab deruxtecan, but participants are otherwise not considered eligible for other HER2-directed therapies).
3. Participants must have been treated with at least one (1) line of systemic therapy after diagnosis of metastatic disease, anticipate or have progressive disease or adverse events requiring discontinuation of their current regimen, and must not be able to transition to another approved systemic therapy shown to improve overall survival.
-Participants with HR+ disease must be deemed refractory to endocrine therapy per their clinical team, with concordance by study team.
Note: Participants who cannot receive or decline to receive standard therapy that has been shown to prolong overall survival, or if such therapy is not deemed in the participant s best interest, will be eligible, if other eligibility criteria are met. If appropriate, participants may remain on treatment during biopsy, screening and initial tissue review/testing for this study.
4. Participants must have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1. Note: Palliative radiotherapy to site(s) of disease may be completed during screening as long as disease outside of the planned sites of radiation is available for response assessment.
5. Archival tumor (preserved via FFPE) must be available from a biopsy performed within the past 6 months. The timeframe of 6 months is required to optimize reliability of ENLIGHT results. It is assumed that a participant has had no more than one (1) line of systemic treatment since the last biopsy. Participants who have had multiple intervening lines of therapy since biopsy was obtained will be reviewed by the study team to determine if another biopsy may be needed. Note: If archival tissue is not available within that timeframe, tissue from the next scheduled biopsy can be sent to NIH for testing. If it is not possible for a biopsy to be scheduled, the study team will evaluate the possibility of a biopsy being performed at the NIH for enrollment purposes.
6. Age \>=18 years.
7. ECOG performance status \60%)
8. Participants must have organ and marrow function as defined below:
* Hemoglobin \>= 8g/dL
* Absolute neutrophil count \>= 1,200/mcL
* Platelets \>=75,000/mcL
* Total bilirubin \
