Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

The study population for Step 1 must meet the following eligibility criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Stage 1, 2 or 3 invasive breast cancer which is triple negative. Triple negative breast cancer is defined as ER <1, PR <1 and HER2 0 or 1+ or FISH not amplified if IHC 2+.
  • AR testing may be performed while patient is undergoing other adjuvant therapy (i.e., surgery, chemotherapy, radiation).
  • Willing and able to provide informed consent. Woman at least 18 years of age.
  • Patient is a candidate for treatment of their early stage breast cancer.

The study population for Step 2 will meet the eligibility criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Stage 1, 2 or 3 invasive breast cancer which is triple negative. Triple negative breast cancer is defined as ER <1%, PR <1% and HER2 0 or 1+ or FISH not amplified if IHC 2+.
  • AR(+), defined as ≥1% nuclear staining by IHC testing. The assessment of AR expression may have been performed any time in the past and is not limited to participation in Step 1.
  • Any neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy regimen is permitted. Prior chemotherapy for the treatment of this breast cancer is not required.
  • At least 4 weeks from end of surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy with resolution of any toxicity to Grade 1 or less, excluding alopecia.
  • Patients are eligible to participate within 6 months of completion of therapy for their breast cancer. This includes prior radiation therapy if needed.
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
  • Willing and able to provide informed consent.
  • Woman at least 18 years of age.
  • Able to swallow study drug and comply with study requirements.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and must agree to use 2 acceptable methods of birth control (one of which must include a condom as a barrier method of contraception) starting at screening and continuing throughout the study period and for 3 months after final study drug administration.
  • Is not breastfeeding at screening and will not breastfeed throughout the study period and for at least 3 months after final drug administration.

Exclusion Criteria:

Each patient eligible to participate in this study must NOT meet any of the following exclusion criteria.

  • Any severe concurrent disease, infection or comorbid condition that renders the patient inappropriate for enrollment in the opinion of the investigator or interferes with the patient's ability to participate in the study requirements.
  • Evidence of metastatic/Stage 4 breast cancer
  • History of another invasive cancer within 5 years with the exceptions of nonmelanoma skin cancers and AJCC Stage 0 or 1 cancers that have a remote probability of recurrence in the opinion of the investigator
  • Absolute neutrophil count < 1500/μL, platelet count < 75,000/μL, or hemoglobin < 9 g/dL (5.6 mmol/L).
  • Total bilirubin > 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) unless an alternate nonmalignant etiology exists (eg, Gilbert's disease). Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 3 times ULN.
  • Creatinine > 1.5 times ULN or an estimated creatinine clearance < 50 mL/minute calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation.
  • History of seizure or any condition that may predispose to seizure (e.g., prior cortical stroke, significant brain trauma) at any time in the past. Also, history of loss of consciousness or transient ischemic attack within 12 months before day 1
  • An active gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption (eg, gastrectomy, active peptic ulcer disease, uncontrolled celiac)
  • Hypersensitivity reaction to the active pharmaceutical ingredient or any of the capsule components, including Labrasol, butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
