About this study

Official title: IvoLoC Trial: A Phase II Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Ivonescimab in Metastatic Endocrine Refractory HR-positive HER2-negative or Triple Negative Invasive Lobular Carcinoma

To learn if ivonescimab can help to control endocrine-refractory HR+ HER2- and/or TN mILC.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objectives To evaluate the 6-month PFS of ivonescimab in endocrine-refractory HR+ HER2- or Triple Negative (TN) mILC

Secondary Objectives

  • To evaluate the 12-month PFS and median PFS (mPFS) of ivonescimab inhibitor in endocrine-refractory HR+ HER2- and TN mILC
  • To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) of ivonescimab in endocrine-refractory HR+ HER2- and TN mILC
  • To assess the disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR) and overall survival (OS)
  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ivonescimab, as assessed by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0.

Exploratory Objectives:

  • Correlate the response to ivonescimab with the molecular functional portrait (MFP) by BostonGene testing.
  • Explore changes in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels between baseline, D15, every restaging (including at progression) and correlate their ability to predict response to ivonescimab
  • Explore whole exome sequencing (WES) at baseline to identify biomarkers predictive of response to ivonescimab
  • Explore RNA sequencing (RNAseq) at baseline to identify biomarkers predictive of response to ivonescimab and to evaluate treatment-induced molecular changes
  • Develop a predictive responder score to identify participants which will benefit from ivonescimab.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ivonescimab in people with Metastatic Endocrine Refractory and Triple Negative Invasive Lobular 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 33 inclusion and 36 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Jason Mouabbi, MD ((713) 792-7676, jamouabbi@mdanderson.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and adverse events (AEs) (time frame: an average of 1 year). 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 NCT07229417.

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 29 Jul 2026.
