Combination of Olaparib and Navitoclax in Women with HGSC and TNBC

November 14, 2024 updated by: Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

A Phase I Trial of the Combination of Olaparib and Navitoclax in Women with High Grade Serous Epithelial Ovarian Cancer and Triple Negative Breast Cancer

The purpose of this Phase I study is to determine if the PARP inhibitor olaparib can be safely combined with navitoclax, an inhibitor of Bcl-2/Bcl-XL, in women with TNBC who have somatic or germline mutations in breast cancer gene one (BRCA1) and breast cancer gene two (BRCA2) BRCA1/2 or PALB2 and in women with recurrent HGSC who have progressed greater than 6 months since their last platinum containing chemotherapy. The trial is designed as an open- label multi-center Phase I interventional and translational study. It will identify the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and RP2D of olaparib combined with navitoclax for study in Phase II. There is a plan for a follow on Phase II study depending on the results obtained during this Phase I trial.The rationale for this study is that for a subset of patients, olaparib, will increase tumor cell survival dependence on inhibition of cell death by Bcl 2/Bcl- XL. Thus, navitoclax will augment apoptosis induced by PARP inhibition with olaparib.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In this trial, olaparib will be delivered alone for 14 days with the hypothesis that priming of the apoptotic machinery will be required prior to introduction of the senolytic agent (navitoclax). To date navitoclax and olaparib have not been combined in the clinic. The Phase I study will therefore be conducted to define the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). A plan for a future Phase II study will depend on the results obtained during this Phase I trial. Based on the potential for overlapping toxicity (particularly hematologic toxicity) an interrupted dosing schedule will be used for the navitoclax. Based on preclinical studies it is believed that intermittent delivery of the senolytic agent is in line with the proposed mechanism of action. Subsequently the dose of navitoclax will be escalated with a fixed dose of olaparib in 28-day cycles.

Phase

Phase

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.

No

Description

Inclusion

  • Histologically confirmed:

    • Recurrent metastatic HGSC of ovarian, peritoneal or fallopian tube origin with radiological progression greater than 6 months from last platinum based therapy.

      • No limit on the number of prior lines for HGSC.
      • Prior maintenance or treatment with PARP inhibitor is allowed provided progression did not occur on or within 6 months of discontinuing the drug. Patients must be considered able to tolerate olaparib as per dosing regimen in this study.
      • Patients must be able to swallow and retain oral medications and without gastrointestinal illnesses that would preclude absorption.
      • Patients must be able and willing to undergo study related procedures (biopsies pre and on treatment) and to provide archival tissue, if available.
      • Patients must have a life expectancy ≥16 weeks.
      • Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function measured within 28 days prior to administration of study drug

  • Patients must have measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1. Progressive irradiated lesions considered but would require an additional out of field measurable lesion.

Exclusion

  • Prior chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, or investigational agents within 30 days prior to first dose of investigational products (IPs).
  • Due to the expected dose-limiting toxicity of thrombocytopenia, the following concomitant medications are not allowed within 14 days of the olaparib lead-in period: Warfarin, clopidogrel (plavix), ibuprofen, tirofiban (aggrastat), and other anticoagulants drugs including low molecular weight heparin, or herbal supplements that affect platelet function are excluded. Caution should be exercised when dosing Navitoclax concurrently with CYP2C8 and CYP2C9 substrates.
