Single arm, open label, signal seeking, phase II trial of the activity of tucatinib plus trastuzumab in patients with tumours harbouring HER2 amplifications or mutations

ACTRN 12620000767909

Brief Summary

This is a substudy of the Cancer Molecular Screening and Therapeutics (MoST) Program, which is registered on ANZCTR with ID ACTRN12616000908437. This substudy will evaluate the activity of combination of tucatinib and trastuzumab in a population of participants with advanced tumours harbouring HER2 amplification or mutations.

Intervention/Treatment

  • Drug: Trastuzumab.
  • Drug: Tucatinib.

Inclusion Criteria

  1. Adults, aged 18 years and older, with pathologically confirmed advanced and/or metastatic solid cancer of any histologic type or an earlier diagnosis of a poor prognosis cancer.
  2. Tumours harbouring somatic HER2 amplification (in the absence of a HER2 mutation) or mutations (with or without concomitant amplification).
  3. At least one measurable site of disease according to RECIST Version 1.1 or by RANO criteria if primary brain tumours.
  4. Left ventricular ejection fraction >/= 50%.
  5. Confirmation of molecular eligibility by the molecular tumour board.
  6. ECOG 0 – 2.
  7. Received and failed all standard anticancer therapy or have documented unsuitability for any further standard therapy, if standard therapy exists.
  8. Clinical or radiological progression on or following last anticancer therapy unless such anticancer therapy stopped due to toxicity / treatment intolerance.
  9. Adequate organ system function as assessed by the following minimal laboratory requirements (within 7 days prior to first administration of study drug):
    • bone marrow function; platelets >/= 100 x 109/L, ANC >/= 1.5 x 109/L, and haemoglobin >/= 9g/dL (5.6mmol/L);
    • liver function; ALT/AST < /= 3 x ULN (in the absence of liver metastases, < /= 5 x ULN for patients with liver involvement) and total bilirubin < /= 1.5xULN;
    • renal function; serum creatinine < /= 1.5xULN.
  10. For non central nervous system (CNS) cancers if brain metastases are present, patients must have either:
    • untreated brain metastases < /= 2.0 cm in size not needing immediate local therapy (at the discretion of the treating physician and adjudicated by the Principal Investigator).
    • previously treated brain metastases not needing immediate local therapy (at the discretion of the treating physician).
    • newly diagnosed brain metastases which require treatment with whole brain radiotherapy given >/= 21 days, stereotactic radiosurgery given >/= 7 days or surgery performed >/= 28 days prior to the first dose of treatment.
  11. Willing and able to comply with all study requirements, including treatment, timing and/or nature of required assessments.
  12. Signed, written informed consent to participation in the specific treatment substudy.
