E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To explore changes in tumour levels of Ki-67 and AcH3 measured by IHC from matched biopsies taken pre- and post- short-term 5-day treatment with CUDC-101 given as a 1 hour I.V. infusion at 275 mg/m2 in subjects with HER2 positive invasive breast cancer. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. To assess the pharmacokinetics of CUDC-101.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Prior or concurrent systemic anticancer therapy.
2. Prior w thdrawal from hormone replacement therapy ≤ 3 months previously.

5. Inflammatory breast cancer.
6. Use of investigational agent(s) within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
7. History of cardiac disease with a New York Heart Association Class II or greater congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction or unstable angina in the past 6 months prior to Day 1 of treatment, or serious arrhythmias requiring medication for treatment.
8. Known infection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C.
9. Subjects with prolonged QTc interval >450 seconds.
10. Known history of GI bleeding, ulceration, or perforation.
11. Subjects receiving regular warfarin.
12. Known history of stroke or cerebrovascular accident within the past 6 months.
13. Any uncontrolled condition which in the opinion of the Investigator could affect the subject’s participation in the study. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Changes in levels of Ki-67 and AcH3 as determined by immunohistochemical analysis in paired pre- and post-treatment tumour biopsy specimens, indicative of CUDC-101 pharmacodynamic activity. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Screening visit (Day -14 to Day 1) and Day 5 |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1. PK endpoints including clearance (Cl), apparent volume of distribution at steady state (Vdss), maximum concentration (Cmax), time of maximum concentration (Tmax), half-life (t1/2), area under the curve (AUC0-inf and AUC0-t), and other relevant parameters. Analysis of the PK parameters will include descriptive statistics such as means, standard deviations, median, maxima, and minima.
2. Incidence of adverse events (CTCAE v.4) and changes from baseline in vital signs, clinical laboratory, and electrocardiography (ECG) parameters.
3. Change in size of lesions measurable by physical examination (i.e., superficial and ≥10mm diameter as assessed using callipers).
4. Changes in other biomarkers in indicative of CUDC-101 pharmacodynamic activity, such as IHC levels of pHER2, total HER2, pEGFR and EGFR in tumour tissue and AcH3 in PBMCs. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
1. PK: 0-23 hours post dose
2. AEs throughout study
3. Size of lesions: at screening visit and end of study visit.
4. Other biomarkers: Cohort 1: at screening visit and Day 5; Cohort 2: at screening visit and Day 1 |
