This is a Phase 1b open-label, single arm, multicenter, study of ALRN-6924 as a chemoprotection agent in patients with TP53-mutated HER2- breast cancer (stages IIa to IIIb) receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin, docetaxel, and cyclophosphamide (TAC). Chemotherapy affects cells that are dividing, whether they are tumor cells or healthy cells (including, bone marrow cells, hair follicle cells, and epithelial cells lining the gastrointestinal tract). ALRN-6924 is designed to stop cell division in healthy cells but not in tumor cells because they have a mutation of the TP53 gene. When this happens, tumor cells will still be destroyed by the chemotherapy but healthy cells that are not dividing may be spared from chemotherapy damage and the patient should have less side effects.
This is a Phase 1b, open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial for evaluation of safety, tolerability and chemoprotection effects of ALRN-6924 combined with chemotherapy in patients with TP53-mutated, HER2 negative breast cancer without distant organ metastases. All patients will receive the neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy regimen known as TAC. TAC consists of doxorubicin 50 mg/m2 IV infusion, docetaxel 75mg/m2 IV infusion and cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2 IV infusion, given on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle for a total of 4-6 treatment cycles according to each patient's individual needs, individual institutional policies and standards of care, as well as investigator discretion. ALRN-6924 1.2 mg/kg will be administered on 3 consecutive days in each treatment cycle, Days 0-2. Prophylactic administration of G-CSF prior to the first instance of Grade 4 neutropenia is not allowed in Cycle 1. Myeloid growth factor support with filgrastim should be administered immediately if a patient is diagnosed with Grade 4 neutropenia.

ALRN-6924 administered in every chemotherapy treatment cycle as an IV infusion over 1 hour on Days 0 (approximately 18 hours prior to chemotherapy administration), 1 (approximately 1 hour prior to chemotherapy administration), and 2 (approximately 24 hours after the second infusion of ALRN-6924).
TAC will be administered as an IV infusion on Day 1 of every 3-week treatment cycle

Safety and tolerability of ALRN-6924 in combination with TAC chemotherapy
Proportion of patients with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 3/4 treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs); proportion of patients with treatment-related adverse events and serious adverse events as assessed by NCI CTCAE v5.0 Clinical and laboratory adverse events (AEs) will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT) will be attached to the clinical database. AE severity will be graded using the CTCAE. All AEs will be summarized (incidence) and listed by the System Organ Class (SOC), preferred term, toxicity/severity grade, and causal relationship to study medication. In addition, separate summaries of SAEs and Grade 3 and 4 AEs will be presented.
