This phase Ib/II trial aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of combining Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) with Azeliragon, a receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) inhibitor in patients with T-DXd-resistant HER2-positive or HER2-low metastatic breast cancer at Houston Methodist Neal Cancer Center (HMNCC). Adults, 18 years of age or older, with histologically confirmed HER2-positive or HER2-low metastatic breast cancer with prior progression on T-DXd will be eligible to participate in the study.
This phase Ib/II trial aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of combining Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) with Azeliragon, a receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) inhibitor in patients with T-DXd-resistant HER2-positive or HER2-low metastatic breast cancer at Houston Methodist Neal Cancer Center (HMNCC). Adults, 18 years of age or older, with histologically confirmed HER2-positive or HER2-low metastatic breast cancer with prior progression on T-DXd will be eligible to participate in the study. In phase Ib part of the study, 12 patients will be administered standard T-DXd (5.4 mg/kg intravenously \[IV\] every 3 weeks \[q3w\]) plus escalating oral doses of the RAGE inhibitor Azeliragon (starting dose 5, 10, 20 mg, orally, daily) in a BOIN design to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of T-DXd and Azeliragon. In phase II part of the study, 15 patients will receive T-DXd (5.4 mg/kg IV q3w) plus the RP2D of Azeliragon. If patients are on a lower dose of T-DXd prior to trial enrollment due to adverse events the same low dose can be continued for the trial. HER2 ultra-low patients can be included as well. The doses for Azeliragon are as follows: * Starting Dose Level 1: Loading Dose for 6 Days is 15mg once daily; Maintenance Dose for days 7 and onward 5mg once daily * Dose level 2: Loading dose for 6 days is 15mg twice daily; maintenance dose for days 7 and onward is 10mg once daily * Dose level 3: Loading dose for 6 days is 30 mg twice daily; maintenance dose for days 7 and onward is 20mg once daily In phase II part of the study, 15 patients will receive T-DXd (5.4 mg/kg IV q3w) plus the RP2D of Azeliragon. If patients are on a lower dose of T-DXd prior to trial enrollment due to adverse events the same low dose can be continued for the trial. The total study duration will be 2 years. The primary endpoint of phase Ib will be the assessment of the safety, tolerability, and RP2D of T-DXd plus a RAGE inhibitor (e.g. Azeliragon). The primary endpoint of phase II will be the evaluation of the objective response rate (ORR) of the combination therapy in patients with documented T-DXd resistance. Secondary endpoints will include assessment of progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DoR), Quality of life (QOL), PFS2, overall survival (OS) and intracranial response rate in patients with brain metastases. This single-arm, open-label, phase Ib/II study conducted at HMNCC aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of combining T-DXd with a RAGE inhibitor in patients with T-DXd-resistant metastatic breast cancer, with the goal of overcoming drug resistance and improving clinical outcomes.

Phase Ib (Dose Escalation): To assess the safety, tolerability (according to the NCI CTCAE (v6.0)) and to determine the RP2D of T-DXd plus a RAGE inhibitor (Azeliragon) in patients with T-DXd-resistant HER2-positive or HER2-low metastatic breast cancer.
