Multicenter, single-arm, open label, phase II clinical trial with safety run-in to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of CB-103 in combination with a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI), anastrozole or letrozole, in Hormone Receptor-positive and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer patients who have achieved clinical benefit during prior NSAI-based treatment.
This is a ulticenter, single arm, open-label, Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of CB-103 in combination with a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI), anastrozole or letrozole, in Hormone Receptor-positive and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer patients who have achieved clinical benefit during prior NSAI-based treatment. Eligible patients include pre- and post-menopausal women age ≥ 18 years with HR-positive and HER2-negative unresectable advanced breast cancer (ABC, including metastatic), having achieved at least clinical benefit upon treatment with prior NSAI. Evidence of measurable or evaluable disease, as per RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors) v.1.1, with a tumor lesion amenable to biopsy. Pre-menopausal women must be under treatment with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues. Patients are not eligible if they are candidates for a local treatment with a curative intention The primary objective is to assess the efficacy, defined as progression-free survival (PFS), of CB-103 in combination with NSAI therapy (anastrozole or letrozole) in women with HR-positive, HER2-negative, unresectable ABC with evidence of Notch signaling pathway activation and with progressive disease after clinical benefit while on prior NSAI-containing regimen. Approx 80 patients are expected to be recruited

Enrollment

Patients will receive CB-103 capsules orally (QD) in combination with NSAI therapy (letrozole or anastrozole, continuing prior therapy) also orally once daily, and based on a 28-day treatment cycle. A run-in phase for safety and tolerability of CB-103 in combination with anastrozole or letrozole will be conducted as an initial step of the phase II trial to confirm the safe dose of CB-103 in combination with NSAI given at standard dose. Patients will receive treatment until disease progression (as defined by RECIST v.1.1), symptomatic deterioration, unacceptable toxicity, death, consent withdrawal or study termination, whichever occurs first.

Progression-free survival (PFS)
PFS, defined as the time from treatment initiation until objective tumor progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as per Investigator assessment by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1 in the subgroup of patients with evidence of Notch signaling pathway activation.We hypothesize that excluding a median PFS of 2 months while targeting an improvement of the median PFS greater than or equal to 4 months (hr = 0.50) in patients with evidence of Notch pathway activation is an optimal approach to evaluate the clinical activity of the CB-103 plus NSAI (anastrozole or letrozole) combination.
Time frame: from treatment initiation until objective tumor progression or death
Safety and tolerability of CB-103 in combination with NSAI (anastrozole or letrozole)
Incidence and severity of AEs and SAEs according to the NCI-CTCAE v.5.0, including dose reductions, delays, and treatment discontinuations.
Time frame: from baseline until end of study.All patients must be followed for AEs and SAEs for 28 days following the last dose of study drug.
Efficacy in terms of PFS of CB-103 in combination with NSAI in all patients and in sub.groups
PFS, defined as the time from treatment initiation until objective tumor progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as per Investigator assessment by RECIST v.1.1 in all patients and in patients without evidence of Notch signaling pathway activation.
Time frame: from treatment initiation until objective tumor progression or death (at least 4months)
Overall response rate (ORR)
ORR, defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as per Investigator assessment using RECIST v.1.1., in patients with and without evidence of Notch signalling pathway activation.
Time frame: from baseline until end of study (will occur when all patients have discontinued treatment or 12 month after the last patient was enrolled on the study plus the safety follow up window of 28 days after last dose of study treatment in the last patient)

Clinical benefit rate (CBR)
CBR at 24 weeks, defined as the proportion of patients who obtain an objective response (CR or PR), or stable disease for at least 24 weeks, as per Investigator assessment using RECIST v.1.1., in patients with or without evidence of Notch signaling pathway activation.
Time frame: 24 weeks
Clinical benefit rate (CBR)
CBR at 12 weeks, defined as the proportion of patients who obtain an objective response (CR or PR), or stable disease for at least 12 weeks, as per Investigator assessment using RECIST v.1.1., in patients with or without evidence of Notch signaling pathway activation.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Time to tumor response (TTR)
TTR, defined as the time from treatment initiation to time of the first objective tumor response (tumor shrinkage of ≥ 30%) in patients who achieved a CR or PR, as per Investigator assessment using RECIST v.1.1., in patients with or without evidence of Notch signaling pathway activation.
Time frame: from treatment initiation to time of the first objective tumor response up to 12 months
Duration of response (DoR)
DoR, defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as per Investigator assessment using RECIST v.1.1., in patients with or without evidence of Notch signaling pathway activation.
Time frame: from the first occurrence of a documented objective response to disease progression or death, up to 12 months
