Brief summary
This is a Phase Ib/II study assessing the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and efficacy of L-NMMA when combined with docetaxel in refractory locally advanced or metastatic triple negative breast cancer patients. The Phase Ib portion of the study is designed to investigate the combination at two dose levels of docetaxel (75 and 100 mg/m2) and 7 dose levels of L-NMMA (5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, and 20 mg/kg). The starting dose of L-NMMA will be 7.5 mg/kg. In the Phase II portion of the study, the starting dose will be the RP2D determined in the Phase Ib portion of the study.
Detailed description
This is a Phase Ib/II study assessing the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and efficacy of L-NMMA when combined with docetaxel in refractory locally advanced or metastatic triple negative breast cancer patients. The Phase Ib portion of the study is designed to investigate the combination at two dose levels of docetaxel (75 and 100 mg/m2) and 7 dose levels of L-NMMA (5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, and 20 mg/kg). The starting dose of L-NMMA will be 7.5 mg/kg. L-NMMA dose will escalate/de-escalate based on DLT occurrence. For the 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, and 15 mg/kg L-NMMA doses, docetaxel will be administered at 75 mg/m2. For the 17.5 and 20 mg/kg L-NMMA doses, docetaxel will be administered at 100 mg/m2. In the Phase II portion of the study, the starting dose will be the RP2D determined in the Phase Ib portion of the study. In the phase II portion of the study, patients will be treated with L-NMMA and taxane (docetaxel, paclitaxel, or nab-paclitaxel) per physician's choice. Patients will be treated with L-NMMA and taxane chemotherapy (docetaxel, paclitaxel, or nab-paclitaxel) per physician's choice. L-NMMA will be administered on Days 1-5 and taxane chemotherapy on Day 1 Q3W or Day 1 Q1W. L-NMMA and docetaxel will be administered at the RP2D determined in the phase Ib portion of the study. Paclitaxel at 175 mg/m2 will be IV infused over 3 hours or 80 mg/m2 will be IV infused over 1 hour, and nab-paclitaxel at 260 mg/m2 will be IV infused over 30 minutes. For L-NMMA-induced hypertension, amlodipine (10 mg) and enteric-coated low-dose aspirin (81 mg) will be orally administered. Amlodipine will be administered for 6 days at each cycle, starting 24 hours before the first dose of L-NMMA. Enteric-coated low-dose aspirin will be administered once daily during the 6 21-day cycles. For docetaxel-induced leukopenia, pegfilgrastim (6 mg) will be administered via subcutaneous injection approximately 24 hours after every dose of docetaxel.

Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of the L-NMMA and Docetaxel Combination
Determine the RP2D of the L-NMMA and docetaxel combination based on the occurrence of DLTs during Phase Ib portion of the study. As patients are accrued, they will start with 7.5 mg/kg of L-NMMA and 75 mg/m2 of docetaxel and their DLTs will be assessed after completion of the first cycle. This will determine the next cohort dose, until at least 4 patients receive the dose with minimal DLTs that won't require dose reduction.
Time frame: The Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) assessment window is the duration required for completing one full cycle (through Day 21).
Population: 15 participants participated in Phase Ib portion of the trial until the MTD was determined after 4 patient completed at least one cycle of treatment at the same dose without DLTs.

Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration of L-NMMA and Docetaxel
Determine the time to maximum plasma concentration of the L-NMMA and docetaxel combination.
Time frame: Blood samples will be collected predose (10-30 minutes before L-NMMA infusion) on Days 1, 2, and 5 of Cycle 1 and Days 1 and 5 of Cycle 2 for determination of L-NMMA plus docetaxel plasma PK.
Population: To determine the PK of L-NMMA, we assayed serum samples from two patients receiving L-NMMA at 15 mg/kg and docetaxel at 75 mg/m2 and two patients receiving L-NMMA at 17.5 mg/kg and docetaxel at 100 mg/m2.
