Abstract

This study will investigate colon pathology in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer treated with neratinib. Colonoscopy will be performed after eligibility has been confirmed, prior to administration of the first dose of neratinib, and after 28 days of neratinib treatment.

Description

This is an open-label, phase 2 study that will investigate colon pathology in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer treated with neratinib as monotherapy.

All patients will receive neratinib for the first 28 days as a single daily dose of 240 mg.

Colonoscopy will be performed after eligibility has been confirmed, but prior to administration of the first dose of neratinib and at Day 30 (± 3 days) the conclusion of Cycle 1 (28 days).

Following the second study colonoscopy procedure:

- For patients being treated for stage 1 to 3c breast cancer in the extended adjuvant setting, neratinib will continue to be administered at a single daily dose of 240 mg until completion of one year of therapy from start of treatment, or until disease recurrence (as determined by the Investigator), death, unacceptable toxicity, or other specified withdrawal criterion.

- For patients being treated for metastatic breast cancer (mBC), capecitabine will be introduced after the second study colonoscopy procedure at a dose of 750mg/m2 twice daily for 14 days of each 21 day treatment cycle, with neratinib administered continuously throughout at 240 mg daily, until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, or other specified withdrawal criterion.

All patients will receive loperamide diarrhea prophylaxis daily for one 28-day cycle and then as needed.

Criteria

INCLUSION CRITERIA

1. Aged ≥18 years.

2. Histologically confirmed stage 1 through stage 4 primary adenocarcinoma of the breast.

3. Documented HER2 overexpression or gene-amplified tumor by a validated approved method.

4. Participants with confirmed stage 1 to stage 3c breast cancer receiving extended adjuvant treatment with neratinib monotherapy must have completed a course of prior adjuvant trastuzumab or experienced side effects that resulted in early discontinuation of trastuzumab that have since resolved.

5. Participants with mBC must have had at least 2 prior HER2-directed regimens.

6. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% measured by multiple-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) or echocardiogram (ECHO).

7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status of 0 to 1.

8. Negative β-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy test for premenopausal women of reproductive capacity (those who are biologically capable of having children) and for women less than 12 months after menopause. [Women are considered postmenopausal if they are ≥12 months without menses, in the absence of endocrine or anti-endocrine therapies.]

9. Women of childbearing potential must agree and commit to the use of a highly effective non-hormonal method of contraception, i.e., intrauterine device, bilateral tubal ligation, vasectomized partner, or abstinence (only when it is the preferred lifestyle of the participant), from the time of informed consent until 28 days after the last dose of the investigational products. Men (male participant) with a female partner of childbearing potential must agree and commit to use condom and the female partner must agree and commit to use a highly effective method of contraception (i.e., any of the above methods, or for females, hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation) while on treatment and for 3 months after last dose of investigational products.

10. Recovery (i.e., to Grade 1 or baseline) from all clinically significant adverse events related to prior therapies (excluding alopecia, neuropathy, and nail changes).

11. No major bleeding diathesis or use of anticoagulants that would pose a high risk for endoscopic procedure.

12. Provide written, informed consent to participate in the study and follow the study procedures.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

1. Participants with confirmed stage 1 to stage 3c currently receiving chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or biotherapy for breast cancer.

2. Participants with mBC who have received prior capecitabine or HER2 directed tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy.

3. Currently using drugs that have been implicated as causing microscopic colitis/watery diarrhea, such as acarbose, aspirin, proton pump inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), histamine H2 receptor antagonists, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and ticlopidine (Pardi, 2017).

4. Major surgery within <28 days of starting treatment or received chemotherapy, investigational agents, or other cancer therapy, except hormonal therapy (e.g., tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors), <14 days prior to the initiation of investigational products.

5. Active uncontrolled cardiac disease, including cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association functional classification of ≥2; including individuals who currently use digitalis, beta-blockers, or calcium channel blockers specifically for congestive heart failure), unstable angina, myocardial infarction within 12 months of enrollment, or ventricular arrhythmia.

6. Corrected QT Interval (QTc) interval >0.450 seconds (males) or >0.470 (females), or known history of QTc prolongation or Torsade de Pointes (TdP).
