Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if a combination of two drugs ipatasertib and atezolizumab works as a treatment for residual cancer in the breast or lymph nodes and have circulating tumor DNA in the blood.

This research study involves the following investigational drugs:

  • Ipatasertib
  • Atezolizumab

Description

This is an open label single-arm phase II study to evaluate the combination therapy of the AKT inhibitor, ipatasertib, and the anti-PD-L1 antibody, atezolizumab, in patients with triple negative breast cancer.

The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including laboratory evaluations, stool collection and follow up visits.

This research study involves the following investigational drugs:

  • Ipatasertib
  • Atezolizumab

Participants will receive study treatment for 24 weeks and will be followed for every 6 months for 3 years.

It is expected that about 40 people will take part in this research study.

This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug to learn whether the drug or drug combination works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the drug combination is being studied.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved atezolizumab (Tecentriq) for residual triple negative breast cancer but it has been approved for advanced triple negative breast cancer and other cancers. Atezolizumab is a protein that affects your immune system by blocking the PD-L1 pathway. The PD-L1 pathway controls your body's natural immune response, but for some types of cancer the immune system does not work as it should and is prevented from attacking tumors. Atezolizumab works by blocking the PD-L1 pathway, which may help your immune system identify and catch tumor cells.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved ipatasertib as a treatment for any disease.

Ipatasertib is a drug that inhibits (stops) an enzyme called Akt in cancer cells. It is thought that inhibiting Akt may make cancer cells more sensitive to treatment, especially in combination with a drug that activates the immune system, like atezolizumab.

Eligibility

Yes No Not Sure

Inclusion Criteria

Pathologically confirmed residual invasive breast cancer, in the breast and/or lymph node(s), following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In the absence of residual invasive disease in the breast, lymph node must contain at least 2mm of invasive disease
HER2 negative by local pathology assessed according to current ASCO/CAP guidelines
In situ hybridization non-amplified (ratio of HER2 to CEP17 < 2.0 or single probe average HER2 gene copy number < 4 signals/cell), OR
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) 0 or IHC 1+
NOTE: If more than one test result is available and not all results meet the inclusion criterion definition, all results should be discussed with the Principal Investigator to establish eligibility
ER and PR negative defined as < 1% of cells expressing hormonal receptors via IHC analysis by local laboratory assessment
Patients must have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to breast surgery. Investigational agents as part of the neoadjuvant regimen are allowed, with the exception of PI3K/Akt/mTor inhibitors and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors
Patients must be within 12 months of last therapy (definitive breast surgery, radiation and/or all intended adjuvant therapy). Definitive breast surgery includes lumpectomy or mastectomy with pathologically clear margins (i.e. no ink on tumor). For patients undergoing lumpectomy, this must be followed by whole breast irradiation. Definitive surgery also includes axillary surgery, either sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection at the discretion of the attending surgeon
Evidence of circulating tumor cfDNA in blood sample collected after completion of all local and systemic neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy (preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy, surgery and radiation), confirmed by central testing. Detection of any tumor specific mutations (TSMs) within the sample will be considered positive for purposes of study eligibility
Concurrent receipt of bone modifying agents (bisphosphonates or rank-ligand inhibitors)is allowed
ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1
Men and women, age 18 years
Adequate hematologic and organ function defined by the following
ANC 1.5 109/L (1500/L) without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support
WBC count 2.5 109/L (2500/L)
Absolute Lymphocyte count 0.5 109/L (500/L)
Platelet count 100 109/L (100,000/L)
Hemoglobin 90 g/L (9.0 g/dL), with or without transfusion
AST, ALT, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 2.5 institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
Serum bilirubin 1.5 institutional ULN with the following exception
Patients with known Gilbert syndrome: serum bilirubin level 3 institutional ULN
Serum creatinine < 1.5 x institutional ULN
Serum albumin 25 g/L (2.5 g/dL)
Fasting glucose < 150 mg/dL and hemoglobin (HBA1c) < 7.5%
For patients not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: INR or aPTT 1.5 institutional ULN
For patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: stable anticoagulant regimen
Women of childbearing potential (pre-menopausal) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to start of therapy. A woman is defined as premenopausal if she is less than 12 months from last menstrual period with no identified cause other than menopause (medication induced amenorrhea is not acceptable). Pregnancy test is not required in women who are surgically sterile via bilateral salpingooophorectomy or hysterectomy
Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception for the duration of protocol treatment and for 28 days after last dose of ipatasertib and 5 months after stopping atezolizumab. Hormonal contraceptives are not acceptable (see section 5.6)
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
Patients must be willing to provide archival tissue for research purposes
