About this study

This is a Phase IB/II, 2-stage, open-label, multicenter study to determine the efficacy and safety of durvalumab in combination with novel oncology therapies (i.e. therapies designed for immune modulation) with or without paclitaxel and durvalumab + paclitaxel as first-line treatment in patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The study is designed to concurrently evaluate potential novel treatment combinations with clinical promise using a 2-stage approach. The study will use a Simon 2-Stage design to evaluate which cohorts may proceed to expansion.

Part 1 is a Phase IB study of safety and initial efficacy, and Part 2 may expand patient enrollment if adequate efficacy signal is observed in Part 1. The treatment regimens evaluated in Part 2 will depend on the evaluation of safety and efficacy outcomes in Part 1.

  • Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus Type I or diabetes mellitus Type II requiring insulin treatment.
  • Any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events, such as heart failure, hypokalemia, potential for torsades de pointes, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age, or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval
  • Prior treatment with PI3K inhibitors, AKT inhibitors, or mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors.

Patients enrolled in Arm 5 only: History of venous thromboembolism in the past 3 months

Patients enrolled in Arm 7 and 8 only: Clinically significant corneal disease in the opinion of the Investigator.

Patients enrolled in Arm 6, 7 and 8 only:

Primary outcomes

  1. Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) Events

    Time frame: From the time of first dose until completion of the first cycle (28 days for Arms 2-5, 21 days for Arms 6-7 (no safety run-in for Arms 1 and 8))

    The occurrence of a severe adverse event (meeting pre-specified criteria) that is at least possibly related to durvalumab and/or the novel oncology therapy in 6 DLT-evaluable patients

Secondary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Tumor assessments: every 8 wks (Arms 1-5) or every 6 wks (Arms 6-8) until wk 48, then every 12 wks from first IP dose until radiologic progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or study completion; up to max 54 mos (observed longest duration in Arm 1)

    Percentage of evaluable patients with a confirmed Investigator-assessed response of CR (complete response) or PR (partial response). Confirmed response is defined as at least one visit response of CR or PR confirmed by a follow-up scan at least 4 weeks later showing CR or PR.

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Tumor assessments: every 8 wks (Arms 1-5) or every 6 wks (Arms 6-8) until wk 48, then every 12 wks from first IP dose until radiologic progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or study completion; up to max 54 mos (observed longest duration in Arm 1)

    Time from date of first dose (at least one study intervention [durvalumab, paclitxel or novel oncology therapy]) until the date of objective radiological disease progression using RECIST 1.1 or death (by any cause in the absence of progression)

  3. Duration of Response (DoR)

    Time frame: Tumor assessments: every 8 wks (Arms 1-5) or every 6 wks (Arms 6-8) until wk 48, then every 12 wks from first IP dose until radiologic progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or study completion; up to max 54 mos (observed longest duration in Arm 1)

    Time from the date of first documented response (which is subsequently confirmed) until the first date of documented progression (PD) or death in the absence of PD (ie, date of PFS event or censoring - date of first response + 1). If a patient does not progress following a response, then their DoR will be censored at the last evaluable disease assessment date

  4. Overall Survival (Count)

    Time frame: From date of first dose until date of death due to any cause; up to the maximum of 54 months (observed longest duration in Arm 1)

    Number of patients with overall survival, the time from date of first dose (at least one study intervention [durvalumab, paclitxel or novel oncology therapy]) until the date of death by any cause

  5. Overall Survival (Duration)

    Time frame: From date of first dose of IP until date of death due to any cause; up to the maximum of 54 months (observed longest duration in Arm 1)

    Time from date of first dose (at least one study intervention [durvalumab, paclitxel or novel oncology therapy]) until the date of death by any cause

  6. Progression-free Survival at 6 Months (PFS6)

    Time frame: 6 months following date of first dose

    Percentage of patients alive and progression-free at 6 months following date of first dose (at least one study intervention [durvalumab, paclitxel or novel oncology therapy])
