About this study

Official title: Women's Triple-Negative First-Line Study: A Phase II Trial of Liposomal Doxorubicin, Bevacizumab and Everolimus (DAE) in Patients With Localized Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) With Tumors Predicted Insensitive to Standard Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

This phase II trial studies how well pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, bevacizumab, and everolimus work in treating patients with triple-negative breast cancer with tumors predicted insensitive to standard chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping them from dividing. Bevacizumab may stop or slow breast cancer by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pegylated liposomal doxorubicin together with bevacizumab and everolimus may kill more tumor cells.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. Determine excellent clinical response rates (pathologic complete response [pCR]/residual cancer burden [RCB]-0 or minimal residual disease [RCB-I]) in patients with anthracycline-based chemotherapy insensitive, localized triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who receive 4 cycles of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, bevacizumab, and everolimus (DAE) following anthracycline-based chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine response rate after 4 cycles of DAE using radiographic imaging. II. Determine toxicity associated 4 cycles of DAE in the neoadjuvant setting. III. Pathologic response rates to 4 cycles of DAE in mesenchymal tumors versus (vs.) non-mesenchymal tumors.
  2. Compare pathologic response rates in mesenchymal tumors to 4 cycles of DAE vs. 12 weeks of weekly paclitaxel (using data collected from standard of care treatment).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the correlation between vimentin expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and the presence of mesenchymal gene signatures at the time of initial tumor biopsy prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).

II. Determine the correlation between mutations in PIK3CA, PTEN or NF2 or PTEN loss by IHC and the presence of mesenchymal gene signatures at the time of initial tumor biopsy prior to NACT.

III. Determine rates of pCR in patients with mesenchymal tumors identified by gene signatures and compare to pCR rates in non-mesenchymal tumors.

IV. Correlate pathologic response with degree of vimentin expression as measured by IHC.

  1. Determine rates of pCR in patients whose tumors contain mutations in PIK3CA, PTEN or NF2 or PTEN loss by IHC and compare to pCR rates in patients whose tumors lacks mutations in these genes.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride intravenously (IV) over about 3 hours on day 1, bevacizumab IV over 90 minutes on day 1, and everolimus orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients will not receive bevacizumab during cycle 4 of therapy. Patients then undergo surgery.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up within 30 days of surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab, Everolimus and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Invasive Breast Carcinoma and Triple-Negative Breast Carcinoma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 24 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Feb 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

RCB Status (time frame: up to 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02456857, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Feb 2024.
