This phase I trial is trying to determine the dose of two combined oral therapies (ipatasertib and rucaparib) as a treatment for advanced breast, ovarian or prostate cancerA Phase Ib, Open-Label, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Ipatasertib in Combination With Rucaparib in Patients With Advanced Breast, Ovarian, or Prostate Cancer

Clinical summary

Summary

This is a dose escalation and expansion trial. Before Cycle 1, Part 1, eligible (advanced breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or prostate cancer) patients will receive a 7-day run-in period with ipatasertib alone. This will be followed by ipatasertib and rucaparib combination treatment on Cycle 1, Day 1 in the 28 Day Cycle. Patients enrolled in part 1 of the trial will be split into 4 cohorts, each receiving differing dose levels of the study drug: Dose Level 1 group - 300 mg ipatasertib once daily (QD) + 400 mg rucaparib twice daily (BID), Dose Level 2a: 300 mg ipatasertib QD + 600 mg rucaparib BID, Dose Level 2b: 400 mg ipatasertib QD + 400 mg rucaparib BID, Dose Level 3: 400 mg ipatasertib QD + 600 mg rucaparib BID. Only patients with advanced prostate cancer will be enrolled in part two of the trial, which is the dose expansion phase. These patients will receive a recommended dose, as advised in part one.

Cancer-Related Inclusion Criteria

  • Have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of ovarian (Part 1 only), breast (Part 1 only) or prostate cancer (Part 1 and Part 2)
  • Disease must be either metastatic or locally advanced disease that cannot be treated with curative intent
  • For patients with ovarian cancer (Part 1 only):

    1. High-grade (2 or 3) serous or endometrioid or clear cell epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer (PPC)
    2. Must have received at least one prior platinum-based therapy and may have platinumsensitive disease (i.e., documented radiologic disease progression >= 6 months following the last dose of the platinum treatment administered) or platinum-resistant disease
    3. Have a CA-125 level that is > 2 x ULN
    4. Must have measurable disease by RECIST v1.1
  • For patients with breast cancer (Part 1 only): must be human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) (estrogen receptor [ER]/progesterone positive or negative):

    1. ER/progesterone-positive patients must have received and progressed on at least one endocrine therapy (adjuvant or metastatic)
    2. ER/progesterone-negative/HER2- (triple-negative breast cancer [TNBC]) patients must have received at least one prior line of chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer
    3. Must not have received more than two prior lines of chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer
    4. Must have measurable disease by RECIST v1.1

For patients with prostate cancer:

  1. Adenocarcinoma of the prostate without small cell or neuroendocrine features
  2. Surgical or medical castration with testosterone < 50 ng/dL (1.7 nM)
  3. Patients treated with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogs must have initiated therapy at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment and continue throughout the study treatment
  4. Progression of prostate cancer either via PSA progression (two rising PSA levels measured >= 1 week apart, with second result >= 1 ng/mL) or radiographic progression with or without PSA progression
  5. Must have received at least one prior line of second-generation androgen receptor targeted therapy (e.g., abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide)

  • History of clinically significant cardiovascular dysfunction
  • Presence of any other condition that may have increased the risk associated with study participation or may have interfered with the interpretation of study results, and, in the opinion of the investigator, would have made the patient inappropriate for entry into the study
