Description
Summary
This phase II trial tests how well ARX788 works in treating patients diagnosed with HER2-low, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic breast cancer. ARX788 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that is given by infusion (diluted and injected slowly into veins). Antibodies are proteins which are naturally produced by the body's immune system to help fight infections. ARX788 consists of antibodies that have been attached to a toxin that has the potential to kill cancer cells. ARX788 sticks to a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2), which is found on some breast cancer cells. Giving ARX788 may be safe and effective in treating patients with HER2-low locally advanced unresectable metastatic breast cancer.
Official Title
Phase II Open-label Study of ARX788 (Anti-HER2 Antibody Drug Conjugate) for Patients With HER2-low Locally Advanced Unresectable / Metastatic Breast Cancer
Details
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of participants with HER2-low locally advanced unresectable/metastatic breast cancer on ARX788 monotherapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate the efficacy of ARX788 monotherapy in participants with HER2-low locally advanced unresectable / metastatic breast cancer as measured by duration of response (DOR), best overall response (BOR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).
II. To evaluate the safety of ARX788 monotherapy in participants with HER2-low locally advanced unresectable / metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
OUTLINE:
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
- Biomarker analyses to evaluate association of efficacy measures with potential biomarkers (e.g., via assessment of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA), single cell ribonucleic acid [RNA] sequencing, etc.).
II. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of patients on ARX788 monotherapy. III. To determine the feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of eye toxicity prevention strategy.
OUTLINE:
Participants receive ARX788 intravenously (IV) over 90 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants also undergo computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, and collection of blood samples throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 30 days and then every 3 months for 1 year.

Eligibility
You can join if…
Open to people ages 18 years and up
- Male or female participants age 18 years or greater with ability to provide written informed consent for the study.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0-2.
- Estimated life expectancy of at least at 6 months per investigator assessment.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
- Pathologically documented HER2-low locally advanced unresectable or metastatic breast cancer. NOTE: human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) low status determined by HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) 1+ or 2+ and no evidence of HER2 gene amplification by in situ hybridization (ISH)/fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), which can be documented from any tumor sample during the patient's cancer treatment history (early or metastatic disease).
- Cohort 1: Participants with hormone receptor positive (HR+)/HER2-low locally advanced unresectable or metastatic breast cancer. Hormone receptor positive status defined as estrogen receptor >= 10% and/or progesterone receptor ≥ 10% and HER2 low.
- Cohort 2: Participants with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), HER2-low locally advanced unresectable or metastatic breast cancer. Considered TNBC if estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) < 10% and HER2 low.
Presence of at least one measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid
Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1. NOTE: Participant's with at least one measurable lytic bone lesion are eligible.
- Availability of tumor block or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue as 10 precut unstained slides will be collected for the HER2 status evaluation and biomarker analysis based on the most recent tumor tissue sample. NOTE: New pretreatment biopsy tissue is preferred as HER2 status may change, but a fresh biopsy is not required. The study team and investigator will make every attempt to get archival tissue. Participants who do not have archival or new tumor tissue available may be eligible after discussion with the study principal investigator (PI).
- Participants with stable and treated brain metastases are eligible if the participants meet the following criteria:
- Must be at least one week out from stereotactic radiosurgery and four weeks out from whole brain radiation therapy without new or progressive neurologic symptoms.
- Must be stable on an equivalent prednisone dose of 10mg or less daily.
- Participants must have received at least one prior line of chemotherapy or ADC therapy for locally advanced unresectable or metastatic disease. NOTE: Prior checkpoint inhibitor therapy is allowed.
- Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.0 x 109/L
- Platelets ≥ 100,000 x 109/L
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal, unless elevated due to Gilbert's syndrome and direct bilirubin is within normal limits
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)) < 3 x institutional upper limit of normal. In participants with liver metastases, <= 5 x institutional upper limit of normal is allowed.
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT)) < 3 x institutional upper limit of normal. In participants with liver metastases, <=5 x institutional upper limit of normal is allowed.
- Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x within institutional upper limit of normal OR creatinine clearance glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73 m, calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation
- Adequate cardiac function as assessed by left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50% or institutional lower limit of normal.
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals on effective antiretroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial.
- For participants with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy.
- Individuals with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated without detectable HCV RNA.
