Tucatinib, Trastuzumab, and Capecitabine With SRS for Brain Metastases From HER-2 Positive Breast Cancer

Study Purpose

This research study will evaluate how well brain metastases associated with HER-2 positive breast cancer can be controlled using a type of radiation known as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) when combined with three therapeutic agents, tucatinib, capecitabine, and trastuzumab. The combined use of SRS with the three drugs is considered investigational.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Male or female patients of reproductive potential need to employ two highly effective and acceptable forms of contraception throughout their participation in the study and for 120 days after last dose of tucatinib, capecitabine and trastuzumab. Highly effective and acceptable forms of contraception are:
  • - Male condom plus spermicide.
  • - Cap plus spermicide.
  • - Diaphragm plus spermicide.
  • - Copper T.
  • - Progesterone T.
  • - Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (e.g., Mirena®) - Implants.
  • - Hormone shot or injection.
  • - Combined pill.
  • - Mini-pill.
  • - Patch.
Postmenopausal woman on the study (that will not need contraception) is defined as:
  • - Amenorrhoeic for 1 year or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments.
  • - LH and FSH levels in the postmenopausal range for women under 50.
  • - Radiation-induced oophorectomy with last menses > 1 year ago.
  • - Chemotherapy-induced menopause with >1 year interval since last menses.
  • - Surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).
Men and women and members of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this trial.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with leptomeningeal metastases documented by MRI or CSF evaluation. 2. Evidence of intra-tumoral or peri-tumoral hemorrhage deemed significant by the treating physician. 3. Brain metastases within 5 mm of the optic chiasm or optic nerve. 4. Metastases in the brainstem (midbrain, pons, or medulla) 5. Significant or recent acute gastrointestinal disorders with diarrhea as a major symptom, e.g., Crohn's disease, malabsorption, or CTCAE grade >2 diarrhea of any etiology at baseline. 6. History of clinically significant or uncontrolled cardiac disease, including congestive heart failure, angina, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification of 3 or 4. 7. Unable to undergo brain MRI. 8. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or chronic Hepatitis B or C. 9. All toxicities from prior therapies must have resolved to CTCAE v 5.0 grade 1 or better by the time of study enrollment. 10. Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concomitant medical conditions (e.g. active or uncontrolled infection, uncontrolled diabetes, second active malignancy) that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol. 11. Currently receiving other investigational cancer therapy within 4 weeks prior to start of study treatment with the exception of continuing therapy with GnRH analogues. 12. Mean QT interval corrected heart rate (QTc) ≥ 470ms calculated from 3 electrocardiograms using Frediricia's Correction. 13. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50% 14. Concomitant use of strong cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C8 inhibitor within 5 half-lives of the inhibitor. 15. Concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. phenytoin, rifampicin, carbamazepine, St. John's Wort) within 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. 16. Concomitant use of potent CYP2C8 inhibitors within 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. 17. History of hypersensitivity to tucatinib, capecitabine, and trastuzumab any of its excipients. 18. History and/or confirmed corneal ulceration. 19. Pregnant or breast feeding

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05553522
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Investigational Treatment

Interventions

Combination Product: - Combined use of SRS with Tucatinib, Trastuzumab, and Capecitabine

SRS and oral tucatinib for 2 wk, followed by oral tucatinib, oral capecitabine, and intravenous (IV) trastuzumab maintenance during 21-d cycles until tumor progression, participant withdrawal, a severe adverse event deemed related to the study drug, or the treating physician discontinues the drug. There are three dosing levels of tucatinib (Dose Level 0, Dose Level -1, or Dose Level -2) using a dose de-escalation scheme. Dosing of capectabine (1000 mg/m2 BID Days 1-14) and trastuzumab (6 mg/kg once per 21 days; 8 mg/kg initial loading dose) per cycle will remain the same regardless of tucatinib dosing. Dose Level 0: 300 mg twice a day (BID) continuously for 2 wk post SRS, then 300 mg BID continuously per cycle. Dose Level -1: 250 mg twice a day (BID) continuously for 2 wk post SRS, then 250 mg BID continuously per cycle. Dose Level -2: 200 mg twice a day (BID) continuously for 2 wk post SRS, then 200 mg BID continuously per cycle.
