Brief summary

Determine the safety and recommended Phase II dose of olaparib in combination with 17b-estradiol in post-menopausal patients with advanced ER+/HER2- breast cancer.

Detailed description

Patients with endocrine-resistant ER+/HER2- breast cancer are eligible. Patients will be treated with the combination of 17b-estradiol and olaparib for 2 cycles, and then treated with single-agent 17b-estradiol until disease progression. Clinical benefit, progression-free survival, objective response, tumor metabolic response, and toxicity will be determined.

Interventions

DRUGOlaparib

Participants will be treated with olaparib at the approved doses for the treatment of subtypes of breast cancer or at reduced dose/frequency for participants with moderate renal impairment.

17b-estradiol will be taken orally three times per day.

Inclusion criteria

* Post-menopausal women with ER+/HER2- breast cancer. * Metastatic or locoregional recurrence not amenable to treatment with curative intent. * Received ≥1 prior line of endocrine-based therapy in the advanced/metastatic setting.

Exclusion criteria

* During study treatment, no concurrent anti-cancer therapies are allowed with the following exceptions: o Anti-resorptive bone therapies (e.g., bisphosphonates, denosumab) permitted. * Any investigational cancer therapy or systemic chemotherapy in the last 3 weeks. * Any radiation therapy in the last 2 weeks. * Known CNS disease, unless clinically stable for ≥ 3 months. * Concomitant use of known strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors. * Persistent toxicities (≥CTCAE grade 2) caused by previous cancer therapy. * History of any of the following: * Deep venous thrombosis * Pulmonary embolism * Stroke * Acute myocardial infarction * Congestive heart failure * Previous malignancy not treated with curative intent, or with an estimated recurrence risk ≥30% * Severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance ≤ 30 mL/min).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical benefit rate6 monthsThe proportion of evaluable patients experiencing clinical benefit (stable disease at 24 weeks, complete or partial response per RECIST) will be measured.
Objective response rate6 monthsThe proportion of evaluable patients experiencing objective response (complete or partial response per RECIST) will be measured.
Progression-free survival12 monthsProgression-free survival will be measured by measuring the length of time between the start of study treatment until the time of cancer progression or death from any cause.
Plasma Olaparib concentration6 hoursThe concentration of Olaparib in plasma will be measured over 6 hours.
Plasma 17b-Estradiol/Estrone concentration6 hoursThe concentration of 17b-Estradiol/Estrone in plasma will be measured over 6 hours.
