This phase 3 trial is evaluating the effectiveness of using two targeted therapies (ipatasertib and atezolizumab) in combination with a chemotherapy (paclitaxel) for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancerA Phase III, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Study Of Ipatasertib in Combination With Atezolizumab and Paclitaxel as a Treatment for Participants With Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Clinical summary

Summary

Patients eligible to participate in this trial will receive some combination of the therapies. Patients receiving Atezolizumab or an Atezolizumab placebo will have intravenous infusions on Days 1 and 15 of the 28 day cycles. Patients receiving Ipatasertib or and Ipatasertib placebo will take oral doses on Days 1-22 of the 28 day cycle. Patients receiving Paclitaxel will have intravenous infusions on Days 1, 8 and 15 of the 28 day cycles.

Eligibility

Inclusion

  2. Adequate hematologic and organ function within 14 days before the first study treatment on Day 1 of Cycle 1.
  3. Life expectancy of at least 6 months.
  4. Measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1.
  5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1.
  6. For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception, and agreement to refrain from donating eggs.
  7. For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm.
  8. Appropriate candidate for paclitaxel monotherapy if tumor PD-L1 status is unknown or non-positive; appropriate candidate for paclitaxel and atezolizumab if tumor PD-L1 status is positive.
  9. Histologically documented triple-negative adenocarcinoma of the breast that is locally advanced or metastatic and is not amenable to resection with curative intent.

Exclusion

  1. Inability to comply with study and follow-up procedures.
  2. History of malabsorption syndrome or other condition that would interfere with enteral absorption or results in the inability or unwillingness to swallow pills.
  3. Severe infection within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment (including, but not limited to, hospitalization for complications of infection, bacteremia, or severe pneumonia) as well as those who have received treatment with therapeutic oral or intravenous (IV) antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment.
  4. Known HIV infection (there must be a negative HIV test at screening).
  5. Known clinically significant history of liver disease consistent with Child-Pugh Class B or C.
  6. Current treatment with anti-viral therapy for HBV.
  7. Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1 or anticipation of need for a major surgical procedure during the study.
  8. Pregnancy or breastfeeding, or intention to become pregnant during the study or within 28 days after the final dose of ipatasertib/placebo, 5 months after the final dose of atezolizumab/placebo, and 6 months after the final dose of paclitaxel whichever occurs later.
  9. New York Heart Association Class II, III, or IV heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction < 50%, or active ventricular arrhythmia requiring medication.
  10. Current unstable angina or history of myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1.
  11. Congenital long QT syndrome or screening QT interval corrected through use Fridericia's formula (QTcF) > 480 ms.
  12. Current treatment with medications used at doses known to cause clinically relevant prolongation of QT/QTc interval.
  13. History or presence of an abnormal ECG that is clinically significant in the investigator's opinion (including complete left bundle branch block, second- or third-degree heart block, or evidence of prior myocardial infarction).
  14. Requirement for chronic corticosteroid therapy of > 10 mg of prednisone per day or an equivalent dose of other anti-inflammatory corticosteroids or immunosuppressant agents for a chronic disease.
  15. Treatment with approved or investigational cancer therapy within 14 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1.
  16. Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that, in the investigator's opinion, gives reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or that may affect the interpretation of the results or renders the participant at high risk from treatment complications.
  17. History of or known presence of spinal cord metastases, as determined by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation during screening or prior radiographic assessments.
  18. Known CNS disease, except for treated asymptomatic CNS metastases.
