Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Efficacy of BTX-9341 in Advanced and/or Metastatic Breast Cancer

Inclusion criteria

• Metastatic and/or locally advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer (dose escalation: measurable disease and/or at least 1 lytic or mixed \[lytic + sclerotic\] bone lesion that can be assessed by CT or MRI or non-measurable disease \[including bone lesions\]; dose expansion: measurable disease)
• Dose escalation: (a) received not more than 1 chemotherapy in the metastatic/advanced setting; (b) no limit to the lines of endocrine therapy (monotherapy or combination therapy) in the metastatic setting; (c) received CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy
• Dose expansion: (a) received not more than 1 chemotherapy in metastatic/advanced setting; (b) received not more than 2 lines of endocrine therapy (monotherapy or combination therapy) and must have been on prior endocrine therapy for at least 6 months before progression; (c) received at most 2 lines of CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy (1 in the adjuvant setting and 1 in the metastatic setting) and must have been on prior CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy for at least 6 months
• Acceptable hematologic function
• ANC ≥ 1500 per mL. Note: Use of growth-factors to maintain the ANC criterion is prohibited.
• Platelet count ≥ 100,000 per mL. Note: Use of transfusions or thrombopoietic agents to achieve the baseline platelet count criterion is prohibited.
• Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL. Note: Packed red blood cell transfusion is allowed up to 14 days prior to trial entry.
• Acceptable liver function
• Bilirubin ≤ 2.0 × institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (or \< 3.0 × institutional ULN if Gilbert's disease is present)
• Alanine transaminase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 × institutional ULN (≤ 5.0 × institutional ULN if liver metastases present)
• Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × institutional ULN (≤ 5.0 × institutional ULN if bone or liver metastases present)
• Able and willing to sign informed consent
• Meets all study requirements in the opinion of the Investigator

Exclusion criteria

• RB1 (retinoblastoma) gene mutation
• Symptomatic visceral disease
• Clinical evidence or history of central nervous system metastasis
• Abnormalities in coagulation, such as bleeding diathesis, or treatment with anticoagulants precluding injections of fulvestrant or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist
