Brief summary

This study is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of durvalumab in combination with novel oncology therapies with or without paclitaxel and durvalumab + paclitaxel for first-line metastatic triple negative breast cancer

Detailed description

This is a Phase IB/II, 2-stage, open-label, multicenter study to determine the efficacy and safety of durvalumab in combination with novel oncology therapies (i.e. therapies designed for immune modulation) with or without paclitaxel and durvalumab + paclitaxel as first-line treatment in patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The study is designed to concurrently evaluate potential novel treatment combinations with clinical promise using a 2-stage approach. The study will use a Simon 2-Stage design to evaluate which cohorts may proceed to expansion. Part 1 is a Phase IB study of safety and initial efficacy, and Part 2 may expand patient enrollment if adequate efficacy signal is observed in Part 1. The treatment regimens evaluated in Part 2 will depend on the evaluation of safety and efficacy outcomes in Part 1.

Intervention model description

Part 1: At least 20 patients in the durvalumab-paclitaxel arm and at least 30 patients in each of the other novel treatment combination arms will be enrolled, for a total of approximately 140 patients (durvalumab + paclitaxel arm and 4 novel treatment combination arms). Additional patients may be enrolled in order to have 20 or 30 evaluable (i.e. dosed) patients per durvalumab - paclitaxel arm or novel treatment combination arm, respectively. Part 2: Approximately 27 patients will be assigned to each treatment arm, for an anticipated total of 57 response-evaluable patients per arm (ie, 30 patients in Part 1 and 27 patients in Part 2 per treatment arm, with the exception of Arm 1, which will enroll 20 patients in Part 1 and will not be expanded to Part 2). Patient expansion from 30 patients in Part 1 to an additional 27 patients from Part 2 will be determined based on a futility analysis utilizing a Simon 2 Stage design.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) EventsFrom the time of first dose until completion of the first cycle (28 days for Arms 2-5, 21 days for Arms 6-7 (no safety run-in for Arms 1 and 8))The occurrence of a severe adverse event (meeting pre-specified criteria) that is at least possibly related to durvalumab and/or the novel oncology therapy in 6 DLT-evaluable patients

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Tumor assessments: every 8 wks (Arms 1-5) or every 6 wks (Arms 6-8) until wk 48, then every 12 wks from first IP dose until radiologic progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or study completion; up to max 54 mos (observed longest duration in Arm 1)Percentage of evaluable patients with a confirmed Investigator-assessed response of CR (complete response) or PR (partial response). Confirmed response is defined as at least one visit response of CR or PR confirmed by a follow-up scan at least 4 weeks later showing CR or PR.
Progression-free Survival (PFS)Tumor assessments: every 8 wks (Arms 1-5) or every 6 wks (Arms 6-8) until wk 48, then every 12 wks from first IP dose until radiologic progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or study completion; up to max 54 mos (observed longest duration in Arm 1)Time from date of first dose (at least one study intervention \[durvalumab, paclitxel or novel oncology therapy\]) until the date of objective radiological disease progression using RECIST 1.1 or death (by any cause in the absence of progression)
Duration of Response (DoR)Tumor assessments: every 8 wks (Arms 1-5) or every 6 wks (Arms 6-8) until wk 48, then every 12 wks from first IP dose until radiologic progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or study completion; up to max 54 mos (observed longest duration in Arm 1)Time from the date of first documented response (which is subsequently confirmed) until the first date of documented progression (PD) or death in the absence of PD (ie, date of PFS event or censoring - date of first response + 1). If a patient does not progress following a response, then their DoR will be censored at the last evaluable disease assessment date
Overall Survival (Count)From date of first dose until date of death due to any cause; up to the maximum of 54 months (observed longest duration in Arm 1)Number of patients with overall survival, the time from date of first dose (at least one study intervention \[durvalumab, paclitxel or novel oncology therapy\]) until the date of death by any cause
Overall Survival (Duration)From date of first dose of IP until date of death due to any cause; up to the maximum of 54 months (observed longest duration in Arm 1)Time from date of first dose (at least one study intervention \[durvalumab, paclitxel or novel oncology therapy\]) until the date of death by any cause
Progression-free Survival at 6 Months (PFS6)6 months following date of first dosePercentage of patients alive and progression-free at 6 months following date of first dose (at least one study intervention \[durvalumab, paclitxel or novel oncology therapy\])
