Trial of Retifanlimab With Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab Combination in HER2-Addicted Breast Cancer
Trial of Retifanlimab With Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab Combination in HER2-Addicted Breast Cancer

NCT07772245

Not Yet RecruitingPhase 2

Sponsor: Polly A. Niravath, MD

Conditions: HER2-addicted Breast Cancer

Interventions: Retifanlimab, Trastuzumab (Herceptin), Pertuzumab

The goal of this Clinical Trial is to find out how well 3 medicines (retifanlimab, trastuzumab and pertuzumab) work at treating HER2-positive breast cancer in Male and female patients, 18 or older. The main question aims to determine the pathologic response rate \[residual cancer burden (RCB)- 0\] in the breast and lymph nodes after 6 cycles of retifanlimab, trastuzumab and pertuzumab in patients with HER2-addicted breast cancer. Participants will will have at least 6 cycles of the study drug, assuming the participant is responding to and tolerating the treatment well. Every cycle will last about 21 days.

Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Patients are eligible to be included in the trial only if all of the following criteria apply:

1. Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form and in this protocol. Written informed consent and any locally required authorization (e.g., Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) will be obtained from the patient/legal representative prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations.
2. Male and female aged \>18 years at the time of study entry. HR-positive patients are eligible because eligibility is driven by the biologic enrichment criteria above; HR status will be recorded and analyzed as a prespecified subgroup.
3. All breast cancers must be HER2+ (IHC 3+ or FISH \>=2) and HER2- addicted(Low Relapse score on HER2Dx assay or PDL \>10%. ER+ HER2+ cancers are allowed. Patients who are progesterone receptor positive or negative will be eligible to participate in the study.
4. Primary tumor greater than 1 cm diameter and \<=5cm, measured by clinical examination and mammography or echography.
5. T1-T2, N0-N1 tumors
6. Bilateral breast cancers that individually meet eligibility criteria are allowed.
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 as of consent date .
8. Life expectancy \>6 months.
9. Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:

   * Hemoglobin ≥10.0 g/dL with no blood transfusion in the past 28 days
   * Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 × 109/L
   * Platelet count ≥100 × 109/L
   * Serum total bilirubin ≤1 × institutional upper limit of normal (ULN; In the case of known Gilbert's syndrome, a higher serum total bilirubin \[\< 1.5 × ULN\] is allowed),
   * Aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase ≤2.5 × institutional ULN
   * Alkaline phosphatase ≤1.5 × institutional ULN
   * Creatinine ≤1.5 mg/dL
10. Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%, as measured by multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO).
11. Evidence of postmenopausal status or negative serum pregnancy test for premenopausal female patients. Negative serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment for premenopausal patients. Women will be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply:

    * Women \<50 years of age would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the postmenopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).
    * Women ≥50 years of age would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or hysterectomy).
12. Willing to provide biopsy tissues as required by the study. - Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients are excluded from the trial if any of the following criteria apply:

1. Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
2. Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an interventional study.
3. Unresolved or unstable adverse events (AEs) Grade 3 from prior administration of another investigational drug.
4. Any concurrent chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or biologic therapy for cancer treatment.
5. Major surgical procedure (as defined by the investigator) within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
6. History of allogeneic bone marrow/stem, cell or solid organ transplantation.
7. Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease \[e.g., colitis or Crohn's disease\], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome \[granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc.\]). The following are exceptions to this criterion:

   * Patients with vitiligo or alopecia
   * Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g., following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement
   * Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy
   * Patients without active disease in the last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with the study physician
8. History of active primary immunodeficiency.
9. Active infection including tuberculosis (clinical evaluation that includes clinical history, physical exam and radiographic findings, and tuberculosis testing in line with local practice), hepatitis B (known positive HBV surface antigen \[HBsAg\] result), hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (positive HIV 1/2 antibodies). Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody \[anti-HBc\] and absence of hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\]) are eligible. Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA.
10. Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. The following are exceptions to this criterion:
