Clinical Trials for Breast Cancer

Evaluation of Talazoparib, a PARP Inhibitor, in Patients With Somatic BRCA Mutant Metastatic Breast Cancer: Genotyping Based Clinical Trial

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

HealthScout AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with metastatic breast cancer harboring confirmed deleterious somatic (tumor-acquired, not germline) BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations who have received prior appropriate therapy and have not previously received PARP inhibitors. Patients are treated with talazoparib, a PARP inhibitor targeting defective DNA repair in BRCA-mutant tumor cells.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03990896

A First in Human Dose Escalation of Dendritic Cell Vaccine (DCV) Administered Intrathecally (IT) Primed Against HER2/HER3 in Patients With Leptomeningeal Disease (LMD) From Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) or HER2+ Breast Cancer (HER2+BC)

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

HealthScout AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with leptomeningeal disease from either triple-negative or HER2-positive breast cancer, using an intrathecal dendritic cell vaccine pulsed with HER2/HER3 peptides to stimulate an anti-tumor immune response in the CNS. Eligible patients must have an Ommaya reservoir or equivalent device for vaccine administration.

A Multicenter, Phase IB/II Study of Abemaciclib in Combination With Bicalutamide for Androgen Receptor-positive, HER2-negative Metastatic Breast Cancer

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

HealthScout AI summary: This trial enrolls adult women with recurrent, unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic HER2-negative, androgen receptor-positive breast cancer (including both hormone receptor-positive and triple-negative subtypes), testing the combination of abemaciclib (a CDK4/6 inhibitor) and bicalutamide (an androgen receptor antagonist). Eligible patients may have had prior endocrine or cytotoxic therapy, and both pre- and postmenopausal women are included.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05095207

Saci-IO TNBC: Randomized Phase II Study of Sacituzumab Govitecan With or Without Pembrolizumab in PD-L1-negative Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

HealthScout AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with PD-L1-negative, treatment-naïve, metastatic triple-negative breast cancer to receive sacituzumab govitecan (a Trop-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate delivering SN-38) with or without pembrolizumab (an anti-PD-1 inhibitor). Eligible patients must have accessible tumor for biopsies and adequate organ function.
