  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1
  • Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • leukocytes ≥3,000/mcL
  • absolute neutrophil count ≥1,500/mcL
  • platelets ≥150,000/mcL
  • total bilirubin <1.25x institutional upper limit of normal
  • AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤2.5 × institutional upper limit of normal
  • creatinine within normal institutional limits OR creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal.
  • Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation and for 30 days after the final dose. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Who cannot join

  • Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
  • Patients not able to swallow oral medications or with gastrointestinal conditions that may impact absorption of dasatinib.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to dasatinib.
  • Patients receiving any medications or substances that are moderate or strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 are ineligible. Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, medications should be reviewed by the UW Pharmacy Research Center for any contraindicated medications. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product.
  • H2 antagonists and proton pump inhibitors are not allowed
  • Anticoagulants (ie. Coumadin, heparin, anti-Xa inhibitors) and anti-platelet agents (ie. aspirin) are not allowed. NSAIDS and acetaminophen are allowed on study.
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Medications known to prolong QTC are not allowed (See Appendix B)
  • No history of prolonged QTC or cardiomyopathy unless normal QTC and ejection fraction confirmed within 1 month prior to study entry.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because dasatinib is a pregnancy category D agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with dasatinib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with dasatinib and not resumed until at least 2 weeks after the final dose.
  • HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with dasatinib. In addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.
  • Contraindication to repeat breast biopsy (neoadjuvant chemotherapy group)

About this study

Official title: Window of Opportunity Study of Dasatinib in Operable Triple Negative Breast Cancers With Nuclear Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (nEGFR)

Primary Objective:

To determine if dasatinib, an inhibitor of the Src family kinases, can prevent the nuclear translocation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in Stage I-III, nuclear EGFR positive, triple negative breast cancers (TNBC).

Secondary Objectives:

  1. To examine the safety and tolerability of dasatinib in patients with operable TNBC
  2. To explore potential intracellular mechanisms which impact dasatinib effect on cellular localization of EGFR in operable TNBC.
  3. To examine the pathologic complete response (pCR) rates to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in nEGFR+ TNBC
  4. To examine breast cancer recurrence rates and patterns of metastatic recurrent in nEGFR+ TNBC
Being tested
Dasatinib, Conventional Surgery, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Plasma Membrane Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Expression, Measured by VECTRA Imaging

    An increase of at least 25% from baseline to post-dasatinib treatment will be considered significant. VECTRA is an automated pathology imaging system used to detect biomarkers in samples.

    Measured: 7-10 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] up to 4 Weeks

    Safety and tolerability of dasatinib in participants with operable Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) will be based on NCI Adverse Events (AE) Version 4.0 and will be assessed by frequency tables. AEs were collected on day 1 of treatment and a minimum of 14 days after the last dose. AEs reported here were ranked as either possibly related, probably related, or definitely related to the study intervention. All AEs (including not related and unlikely related) are summarized in the AE section.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  2. Number of Participants With Pathologic Complete Response (pCR)

    Examine pCR rates to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in nuclear Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (nEGFR) + TNBC. pCR will be defined as ypT0 ypNO (absence of cancer in breast tissue and lymph nodes) an assessed by the investigator.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  3. Number of Participants With No Evidence of Disease (NED) at Long-term Follow up

    Measured: up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dasatinib, Conventional Surgery and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Breast Neoplasms and Triple Negative Breast Neoplasms, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison at 2 sites 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 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 25 Feb 2022). 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?

Plasma Membrane Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Expression, Measured by VECTRA Imaging (time frame: 7-10 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 Jun 2022.
