DZD1516 in Combination With Trastuzumab and Capecitabine, or in Combination With T-DM1, in Patients With Metastatic HER2 Positive Breast Cancer

A Phase I, Open-Label, Multicenter Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Anti-tumor Activity of DZD1516 in Combination With Trastuzumab and Capecitabine, or DZD1516 in Combination With T-DM1, in Patients With Metastatic HER2 Positive (HER2+) Breast Cancer

DZD1516 is an oral, blood brain barrier penetrable, selective HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of DZD1516 in patients with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer who have progressed following prior therapy. This is the first time this drug has ever been tested in patients, and so it will help to understand what type of side effects may occur with the drug treatment. It will also measure the levels of drug in the body and assess its anti-cancer activity as monotherapy and in combination with trastuzumab and/or capecitabine, or in combination with T-DM1

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: daily dose of DZD1516

Drug: DZD1516 mono therapy in Part A, DZD1516 in combination with trastuzumab and/or capecitabine in Part B, DZD1516 in combination with T-DM1 in Part C; Part A is twice daily (except Cycle 0) oral dosing of DZD1516, starting from 50 mg. If tolerated, dose will be escalated in subsequent cohorts until MTD. Part B is twice daily oral dosing of DZD1516 in combination with capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 orally twice daily on Days 1-14 of each 21-day cycle or with trastuzumab 8 mg/kg intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of Cycle 1, followed by 6 mg/kg on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Part C is twice daily oral dosing of DZD1516 in combination with T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg intravenously (IV) once every 21 days
