- WOCBP must agree to use adequate contraception for the duration of study treatment and 7 months after the last dose of study treatment.
- Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥1,000/mcL Platelets ≥70,000/mcL Total Bilirubin ≤ institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤3 × institutional ULN Creatinine ≤ institutional ULN
- For participants with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated.
- Participants with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For participants with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load.

- Participants with no current symptoms of cardiac disease.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
- The effects of repotrectinib on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential 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. (Refer to Pregnancy Assessment Policy MD Anderson Institutional Policy # CLN1114). This includes all female participants, between the onset of menses (as early as 8 years of age) and 55 years unless the patient presents with an applicable exclusionary factor which may be one of the following: Postmenopausal (no menses in greater than or equal to 12 consecutive months). History of hysterectomy or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Ovarian failure (Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Estradiol in menopausal range, who have received Whole Pelvic Radiation Therapy). History of bilateral tubal ligation or another surgical sterilization procedure.
- Approved methods of birth control are as follows: Hormonal contraception (i.e. birth control pills, injection, implant, transdermal patch, vaginal ring), Intrauterine device (IUD), Tubal Ligation or hysterectomy, Subject/Partner post vasectomy, Implantable or injectable contraceptives, and condoms plus spermicide. Not engaging in sexual activity for the total duration of the trial and the drug washout period is an acceptable practice; however periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of birth control. 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.
Who cannot join
- Participants with symptomatic visceral disease or any disease burden that makes the participant ineligible for endocrine therapy per the investigator's best judgment.
- Participants who have had chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biotherapy, immunotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to entering the study.
- Systemic small molecule-targeted therapies (eg, tyrosine kinase inhibitors) within 5 half-lives or 4 weeks (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of study drug.
- Participants who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > Grade 1) with the exception of alopecia.
- Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents.
- Participants with prior history of pneumonitis/ILD
Show all 11Show fewer
- Participants with Grade ≥2 ataxia, muscle weakness, dysgeusia, dizziness, paresthesia and/or peripheral neuropathy.
- Participants with untreated or progressing brain metastases.
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to repotrectinib, fulvestrant or other agents used in study.
- Participants with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because repotrectinib and fulvestrant have 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 repotrectinib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with repotrectinib. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Cohort 1 | Experimental | Cohort 1 will include participants who have never received fulvestrant before. The first 15 participants enrolled in Cohort 1 will receive the study drug combination starting on Day 1 of their first treatment cycle. The next 14 participants enrolled in Cohort 1 will begin with fulvestrant alone for at least 12 days and then start repotrectinib sometime between Days 13 and 20 (depending on when their Cycle 1 biopsy is performed). This is done in order to use the biopsy results to study the effects of fulvestrant alone in these patients. Receives: Drug: Fulvestrant; Drug: Repotrectinib |
| Cohort 2 | Experimental | About 6 months after the first 15 participants are enrolled, based on their study data, Cohort 2 will begin enrolling up to 29 participants who have received fulvestrant in earlier treatments. Participants in Cohort 2 will receive repotrectinib alone. Receives: Drug: Repotrectinib |
