A MULTICENTER, SINGLE-ARM, THREE COHORT, PHASE II TRIAL OF PATRITUMAB DERUXTECAN (HER3-DXD) IN PATIENTS WITH ACTIVE BRAIN METASTASES FROM HER3-EXPRESSING ADVANCED BREAST CANCER AND NON–SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER, AND IN PATIENTS WITH LEPTOMENINGEAL CARCINOMATOSIS FROM HER3-EXPRESSING ADVANCED SOLID TUMORS (The TUXEDO-3 Study)

EU CTIS ID: 2023-503251-10-00

What this study is testing

Cohorts 1 and 2: To assess the intracranial objective response rate (ORR-IC) per local investigator as judged by best CNS response according to Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Brain Metastases (RANO-BM) criteria of HER3-DXd in patients with active brain metastases from MBC and aNSCLC. Cohort 3: To analyze the overall survival (OS) rate at 3 months of HER3-DXd in patients with advanced solid tumors with untreated LMD.​

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Patient must be capable to understand the purpose of the study and have signed written informed consent form (ICF) prior to beginning specific protocol procedures.
  • Patient has adequate bone marrow, liver, and renal function: Renal: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73 m2 based on Cockcroft−Gault glomerular filtration rate estimation for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal.
  • Participants in cohort 1 and cohort 2 must have received at least one prior line of systemic treatment in the advanced setting. Note I: prior systemic treatments for BC eligible patients would be defined as follows: TNBC patients must have received at least one line of prior systemic therapy for advanced disease. Luminal BC patients must have received at least one line of ET and one line of CT in the advanced setting. HER2[+] BC patients must have progressed on at least two previous treatments with HER2-targeted therapies in the advanced setting. Note II: prior systemic treatments for aNSCLC eligible patients would be defined as follows: Patients without activating driver alterations must have received at least one prior line of standard of care systemic therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease. Patients with activating driver alterations must have received at least one prior line of an approved genotype-directed therapy. Participants with EGFR T790M mutation who received first-line treatment with erlotinib, gefitinib, afatinib, or dacomitinib must have received second-line treatment with osimertinib and have documentation of radiological disease progression.
  • Resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior anti-cancer therapy to grade ≤ 1 as determined by the US National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 (v.5.0). Note: Except for alopecia or other toxicities not considered a safety risk for the patient at investigator’s discretion.
  • For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (must refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use highly effective contraceptive methods, or two effective contraceptive methods, as defined in the CSP, during the treatment period and for at least 7 months after the last dose of study treatment, whichever is longer. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days before study treatment initiation (with result available prior to dosing) and must agree to refrain from donating eggs during the entire study treatment period and for 7 months after the last administration of the study drug.
  • Being male subjects, surgically sterile or having agreed with true abstinence (must refrain from heterosexual intercourse), or whose female partners are willing to agree with true abstinence or use barrier contraceptive measures mentioned above during the entire study treatment period and for 4 months after the last administration of the study drug. Males must agree to refrain from donating sperm during the entire study treatment period and for 4 months after the last administration of the study drug.

You likely can't join if

  • Current participation in another therapeutic clinical trial.
  • Pregnant or lactating women.
  • Any serious medical condition or abnormality in clinical laboratory tests that, in the investigator's judgment, precludes the patient's safe participation in and completion of the study.
  • Current known infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV). Patients with past HBV infection or resolved HBV infection (defined as having a negative hepatitis B surface antibody [HBsAg] test and a positive hepatitis B core antibody [HBcAb] test, accompanied by a negative HBV DNA test) are eligible. Patients positive for HCV antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is negative for HCV RNA.
  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection that is not well controlled. All of the following criteria are required to define an HIV infection that is well controlled: undetectable viral RNA, CD4+ count ≥350, no history of AIDS-defining opportunistic infection within the past 12 months, and stable for at least 4 weeks on the same anti-HIV medications (meaning there are no expected further changes in that time to the number or type of antiretroviral drugs in the regimen). If an HIV infection meets the above criteria, monitoring of viral RNA load and CD4+ count is recommended.
  • History of a major surgical procedure (defined as requiring general anesthesia) or significant traumatic injury within 21 days prior to randomization, or patients who have not recovered from the side effects of any major surgery.
