MCLA-128 With Trastuzumab/Chemotherapy in HER2+ and With Endocrine Therapy in ER+ and Low HER2 Breast Cancer
Phase 2 Study of MCLA-128-based Combinations in Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC): MCLA-128/Trastuzumab/Chemotherapy in HER2-positive MBC and MCLA-128/Endocrine Therapy in Estrogen Receptor Positive and Low HER2 Expression MBC

MCLA-128 Trastuzumab Vinorelbine ...Study Participants
101A Phase 2, open-label, multicenter international study will be performed to evaluate the efficacy of MCLA-128-based combinations. Three combination treatments will be evaluated, two in Cohort 1 and one in Cohort 2.
MCLA-128 is given in combinations in two metastatic breast cancer (MBC) populations, HER2-positive/amplified (Cohort 1) and Estrogen Receptor-positive/low HER2 expression (Cohort2).
Two combinations treatments will be evaluated in Cohort 1, the doublet and triplet. Initially MCLA-128 is given in combination with trastuzumab in the doublet. After the safety of the doublet has been assessed in 4-6 patients, MCLA-128 is given in combination with trastuzumab and vinorelbine in the triplet, in parallel to the efficacy expansion of the doublet.
The doublet and triplet combinations are both evaluated in two steps with an initial safety run-in followed by a cohort efficacy expansion. In total up to 40 patients evaluable for efficacy are included in both the doublet and triplet.
In Cohort 2 MCLA-128 is administered in combination with the same previous endocrine therapy on which progressive disease is radiologically documented. A total of up to 40 patients evaluable for efficacy are included in the Cohort 2.
antineoplastic drug of vinca alkaloid family
same endocrine therapy is administered as the last line of endocrine therapy
Inclusion Criteria: Signed informed consent before initiation of any study procedures. Women with histologically or cytologically confirmed breast cancer with evidence of metastatic or locally advanced disease not amenable to any local therapy with curative intent. Measurable disease as defined by RECIST version 1.1 by radiologic methods on or after the most recent line of therapy. For Cohort 2 patients with bone-only disease are eligible even in absence of measurable disease and must have lytic or mixed lesions. For Cohort 2, imaging must be available for central review. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1. Life expectancy of ≥ 12 weeks, as per investigator. Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50% by echocardiogram or multiple gated acquisition scan. Adequate organ function Exclusion Criteria: Central nervous system metastases that are untreated or symptomatic, or require radiation, surgery, or continued steroid therapy to control symptoms within 14 days of study entry. Known leptomeningeal involvement. Advanced/metastatic, symptomatic, visceral spread, with a risk of life-threatening complications in the short term. Participation in another interventional clinical trial or treatment with any investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to study entry. Any systemic anticancer therapy within 3 weeks of the first dose of study treatment. For cytotoxic agents that have major delayed toxicity a washout period of 6 weeks is required. For patients in Cohort 2, this does not apply to the most recently received hormone therapy. Major surgery or radiotherapy within 3 weeks of the first dose of study treatment. Patients who received prior radiotherapy to ≥ 25% of bone marrow are not eligible, irrespective of when it was received. Persistent grade > 1 clinically significant toxicities related to prior antineoplastic therapies (except for alopecia); stable sensory neuropathy ≤ grade 1 NCI-CTCAE v. 4.03 is allowed. History of hypersensitivity reaction or any toxicity attributed to trastuzumab or murine proteins that warranted permanent cessation of these agents (applicable for Cohort 1 only). Previous exposure to vinorelbine (applicable for Cohort 1 triplet combination only) Exposure to specific cumulative anthracycline doses Chronic use of high-dose oral corticosteroid therapy . Uncontrolled hypertension or unstable angina. History of congestive heart failure of Class II-IV New York Heart Association (NYHA) criteria, or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment (except atrial fibrillation, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia). History of myocardial infarction within 6 months of study entry. History of prior or concomitant malignancies (other than excised non-melanoma skin cancer or cured in situ cervical carcinoma) within 3 years of study entry. Current dyspnea at rest of any origin, or other diseases requiring continuous oxygen therapy. Current serious illness or medical conditions including, but not limited to uncontrolled active infection, clinically significant pulmonary, metabolic or psychiatric disorders. Known HIV, HBV, or HCV infection. Pregnant or lactating women; women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception methods prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 6 months after the last dose of MCLA-128.
