E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to compare progression-free survival (PFS), as assessed by blinded central review, of patients with advanced/metastatic HER2-negative gBRCAmut breast cancer when treated with niraparib as compared to those treated with physician’s choice single agent chemotherapy standards (eribulin, vinorelbine, gemcitabine or capecitabine). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare overall survival of patients with advanced/metastatic HER2-negative gBRCAmut breast cancer when treated with niraparib as compared to those treated with physician's choice single agent chemotherapy standards. - Establish germline BRCA mutation status of screened patients using a centrally provided, validated test. Additional tests will be performed to determine concordance between tests for the purpose of developing a commercial diagnostic test. - To evaluate safety and tolerability as measured in all AEs - To compare PFS using investigator assessment of progression - To evaluate time to treatment failure - To compare response rate and duration of response - To compare time to deterioration of health-related quality of life - To describe subsequent therapies and potential relationships with outcomes - To assess genectic and non-genetic biomarkers relating to treatment efficacy

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed HER2-negative metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer that is not amenable to resection or radiation with curative intent. 2. Female and male patients age at least 18 years. 3. Germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation that is considered deleterious or suspected deleterious (include those mutations or translocations termed “deleterious” or “suspected deleterious” according to Myriad reporting) by analysis at a reference laboratory (Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Salt Lake City, UT, USA, or Myriad GmbH, Martinsried, Germany). 4. Measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 or non- measurable disease that is clinically evaluable (except sclerotic-only bone disease; bone-only disease that has a lytic component is allowed). 5. Patients must not have symptomatic uncontrolled brain metastases To be considered controlled, central nervous system (CNS) disease must have undergone treatment (whole brain radiation, radiosurgery or equivalent) at least 1 month previously and the patient has no new or progressive signs or symptoms related to the CNS disease, and are off steroid therapy two weeks. 6. Up to 2 prior cytotoxic regimens for advanced or metastatic breast cancer (not including adjuvant or neo-adjuvant therapy); patients with no prior cytotoxic regimens for advanced or metastatic disease will only be allowed if they relapsed during or within 12 months of (neo-) adjuvant cytotoxic therapy. 7. Prior therapy should have included an anthracycline and a taxane (unless contraindication to those) in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or advanced/metastatic setting. a. Hormone receptor positive patients must also have hormone resistant disease; either relapsed while on adjuvant endocrine treatment or wihtin one year of completing adjuvant endocrine treatment, or progression on at least on line of endocrine treatment for advanced cancer. 8. Patients must not have received anticancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, biological therapy, or any other investigational therapy within 3 weeks prior to the start of study treatment. Patients with persistent toxicity (except alopecia) > grade 1 from prior cancer therapy will also be excluded. Bisphosphonate and denosumab are allowed. 9. No prior treatment with a known or putative PARP inhibitor (except iniparib). No other anticancer agent (chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or other agent) is to be permitted during the course of the study for any patient. 10. Patients must not be platinum resistant defined as: progression of cancer during or within 6 months of completion of prior platinum treatment. 11. ECOG performance status 0-2 (Appendix G). 12. Adequate organ function (assessed within 72 hours prior to the first dose): a. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 cells/μL b. Platelets ≥ 100,000 cells/μL c. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL d. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≥ 50 mL/min using Cockcroft-Gault equation e. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN OR direct bilirubin ≤ ULN f. Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN or < 5 × ULN with liver metastases 13. Patients able to swallow and retain oral tablets 14. Female patients must not be pregnant or breast feeding a. Female patient of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test. 15. Patients of child bearing potential who are sexually active and their partners must agree to the use of a highly effective form of contraception throughout their participation during the study treatment and for 90 days after the last dose of study treatment. 16. No known hypersensitivity to the components of niraparib or any of its analogs. 17. No major surgery within 2 weeks prior to registration. Patients must have recovered from earlier major surgery before registration. 18. No prior diagnosis of Stage IV ovarian cancer ... 29. Patients must not have any known history of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). 30. Patients must agree to peripheral blood samples during screening and at the end of treatment for mutational profile testing (for mutations of selected myeloid associated genes) that will be performed only if the patient develops MDS or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during the study or post-treatment follow-up (a third sample will be collected in this case).
