Brief summary

The Substudy Protocol ASPEN-09-03 is a Phase 2, single-arm, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of evorpacept in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy in participants with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who have previously received trastuzumab-deruxtecan. This substudy is actively recruiting. ASPEN-09-03 is a substudy under Master Protocol ASPEN-09, and additional substudies are as follows: * Metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) - dose escalation phase to evaluate evorpacept in combination with other drugs. This substudy is not open. * Recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer (HNSCC) - dose escalation phase to evaluate evorpacept in combination with other drugs. This substudy is not open.

Detailed description

Participants will continue study treatment until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, participant request to stop treatment, investigator decision or study termination by the sponsor. As ASPEN-09-03 (MBC) is the only substudy open under ASPEN-09, the information reflected in the enrollment number, arms/interventions, outcome measures, and eligibility criteria currently includes only MBC.

Inclusion criteria

* Histologically confirmed invasive HER2+ breast cancer based on an evaluable tumor tissue biopsy obtained after cessation of T-DXd (ENHERTU) treatment and no more than 6 months prior to C1D1. * Received no more than 4 prior lines of HER2-directed therapy including at least one prior line of T-DXd (ENHERTU) for locally advanced/metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Prior neoadjuvant therapy which resulted in relapse within 6 months of completion of T-DXd will be considered a line of treatment for metastatic disease. Participants who discontinue T-DXd due to intolerance are considered eligible. * Progressed on or following the most recent line of therapy. * Eligible to receive one of the following chemotherapy options (capecitabine, eribulin, gemcitabine, paclitaxel or vinorelbine). * Measurable disease as defined by RECIST v1.1. * LVEF ≥50%. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) must be 0 to 1. * Life expectancy of at least 3 months. * Adequate renal function (estimated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min as calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation or Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. * Adequate liver function: * Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (≤3.0 x ULN if the participant has documented Gilbert syndrome); * Aspartate and alanine transaminase (AST and ALT) ≤3 x ULN (≤5.0 x ULN if liver involved by metastatic disease). * Participants must have recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies, procedures, and surgeries to baseline severity or ≤Grade 1 per NCI CTCAE v5.0 except for AEs not deemed reversible and which do not constitute a safety risk by Investigator judgment.

Exclusion criteria

* Untreated CNS metastases. * Prior exposure to any anti-CD47 or anti-SIRPα agent. * Any condition that would be contraindicated to receiving trastuzumab * Has a diagnosis of complete dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency or significant toxicity with prior flurouracil (5FU) based regimen * Following anti-cancer therapy with insufficient washout before start of treatment: 1. chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiation therapy or small molecule anti-cancer therapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of start of treatment. 2. Immune therapy or other biologic therapy (e.g., monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates) for the treatment of cancer for: 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of start of treatment). * History of autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, or hemolytic transfusion reaction. * Had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant. * Any active, unstable cardiovascular disease. * Intolerance to or who have had a severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction to antibodies or infused therapeutic proteins or participants who have had a severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction to any of the substances included in the study drug (including excipients). * Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years. * Other primary malignancy within 2 years.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Response Rate (ORR) using RECIST v1.1 based on BICR assessmentApproximately 6 months after the last participant is enrolledEvaluate the ORR of evorpacept in combination with trastuzumab and single-agent chemotherapy in the sub-population of participants with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who express CD47 (CD47+). ORR is defined as a best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using RECIST v1.1 based on BICR assessment.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Response Rate (ORR) based on Investigator assessmentApproximately 6 months after the last participant is enrolledEvaluate the ORR of evorpacept in combination with trastuzumab and single-agent chemotherapy in the sub-population of participants with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who express CD47 (CD47+). ORR is defined as a best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on Investigator Assessment.
Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) using RECIST v1.1 based on BICR and Investigator assessmentApproximately 6 months after the last participant is enrolledEvaluate the CBR of evorpacept in combination with trastuzumab and single-agent chemotherapy in the sub-population of participants with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who express CD47 (CD47+). CBR is defined as the proportion of participants whose BOR is confirmed PR, confirmed CR, or SD with duration \>6 months using RECIST v1.1 based on BICR and Investigator assessment.
Duration of Response (DoR) using RECIST v1.1 based on BICR and Investigator assessmentApproximately 6 months after the last participant is enrolledEvaluate the DoR of evorpacept in combination with trastuzumab and single-agent chemotherapy in the sub-population of participants with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who express CD47 (CD47+). DoR is measured from the time measurement criteria are first met for CR / PR (whichever is first recorded) until documented progressive disease or death from any cause, whichever occurs first using RECIST v1.1 based on BICR and Investigator assessment.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) using RECIST v1.1 based on BICR and Investigator assessmentApproximately 6 months after the last participant is enrolledEvaluate the PFS of evorpacept in combination with trastuzumab and single-agent chemotherapy in the sub-population of participants with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who express CD47 (CD47+). PFS is measured from the date of enrollment until documented progressive disease or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, using RECIST v1.1 based on BICR and Investigator assessment
Overall Survival (OS)Approximately 6 months after the last participant is enrolledEvaluate the OS of evorpacept in combination with trastuzumab and single-agent chemotherapy in the sub-population of participants with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who express CD47 (CD47+). OS is defined as the time from the date of enrollment until death.
