  • Participant is eligible to receive alpelisib and fulvestrant as per current FDA labeling

Who cannot join

  • Patient with symptomatic visceral disease or any disease burden that makes the patient ineligible for endocrine therapy per the investigator's best judgment
  • Patient has received radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks or limited field radiation for palliation ≤ 2 weeks prior to therapy, and who has not recovered to grade 1 or better from related side effects of such therapy (with the exception of alopecia) and/or from whom ≥ 25% of the bone marrow was irradiated
  • Established diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type 1 or uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (fasting plasma glucose level,>140 mg per deciliter or a glycosylated hemoglobin level of >6.4%)

  • Known brain metastases.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to alpelisib or other agents used in this study.
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Receiving any medications or substances that are strong CYP3A4 inducers.
  • A history or family history of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, multiple endocrine neoplasia or pheochromocytoma
  • 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 there is an unknown but potential risk of adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with these agents, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated on study.
  • Individuals with a history of a different malignancy are ineligible except for the following circumstances. Individuals with a history of other malignancies are eligible if they have been disease-free for at least 3 years and are deemed by the investigator to be at low risk for recurrence of that malignancy. Individuals with the following cancers are eligible if diagnosed and treated within the past 3 years: cervical cancer in situ, and basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Patient has received prior treatment with chemotherapy (except for neoadjuvant/ adjuvant chemotherapy)

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Glucagon Receptor Inhibition to Enable Breast Cancer Patients to Benefit From PI3K Inhibitor Therapy (GRIP-IT PILOT)

REMD-477 (Volagidemab) is a human anti-glucagon receptor antibody. Its proposed mechanism of action in controlling hyperglycemia is by blocking glucagon receptor (GCGR) signaling. In this way, it increases hepatic glucose uptake, decreases hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, increases glycogen synthesis, and ultimately decreases blood glucose levels. This protocol will test the hypotheses that REMD-477 is safe and tolerable in patients with severe hyperglycemia on apelisib and prevent hyperglycemia associated with alpelisib in patients with advanced breast cancer who discontinue alpelisib due to severe hyperglycemia despite appropriate medical management.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing REMD-477 in people with Hyperglycemia Drug Induced, run by Duke University 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 11 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 8 Nov 2022. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Adverse Events (time frame: 28 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Nov 2022.
