Tumor

Advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer with germline or somatic mutations in BRCA1/2 or PALB2 genes

Trial Identifier

NCT06380751

Phase

III

Regimen

Saruparib + camizestrant; physician’s choice CDK4/6i + physician’s choice endocrine therapy; physician’s choice CDK4/6i + camizestrant

Study Design

Inclusion criteria

The key inclusion criteria are - 

  • Diagnosed HR-positive (ER >1%) HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer
  • ≥1 lesion (measurable and/or non-measurable) accurately assessable at baseline and suitable for repeated assessment as per RECIST v1.1
  • Germline or tumor loss of function mutation in BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 based on CLIA/CAP-certified/locally accredited laboratory results or the central tumor test, respectively
  • FFPE tumor sample for genetic tissue testing, additional biomarker analysis, and companion diagnostic development

Study NCT06380751. ClinicalTrials.gov website.

Exclusion criteria

The key exclusion criteria are - 

  • Prior systemic anti-cancer therapy (excluding ET) up to 28 days before randomization
  • Disease progression ≤84 days after last neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy
  • Disease progression ≤365 days from last dose of:
    • PARPi and/or platinum agent for eBC
    • CDK4/6i in the adjuvant setting
    • Oral SERD including camizestrant
  • Any clinically important abnormalities in resting ECG and/or resting heart rate <55 bpm for participants either taking heart rate reducing concomitant medications or with a history of heart diseasea

aStroke, or uncontrolled coronary heart disease, or dysrhythmia.

Target Overview

Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is expressed in about 70% of breast cancer cases.1 ERα activity is essential for ER+ breast cancers, and while they may respond well to anti-estrogen therapies, such as aromatase inhibitors (AIs) and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs),2 resistance can emerge.3

Selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) antagonize ERα and target it for degradation.1

Compound Overview

Camizestrant is an investigational next generation, oral, nonsteroidal ERα antagonist and selective estrogen receptor degrader. The molecule is being clinically evaluated as a potential treatment for HR+, HER2- breast cancers.
