About this trial

PUMA-ALI-1201 is a randomized, dose optimization, multicenter, Phase 2 study of alisertib administered in combination with endocrine therapy in participants with pathology-confirmed HR-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) following progression on or after at least two prior lines of endocrine therapy in the recurrent or metastatic setting. This study is intended to evaluate the optimal alisertib dose administered in combination with the selected endocrine therapy. The study is also planned to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of alisertib in combination with endocrine and to identify the biomarker-defined subgroup(s) that may benefit most from combined alisertib and endocrine therapy. Participants randomized prior to Amendment 4 are randomized 1:1:1 to Arm 1, Arm 2 or Arm 3. Participants randomized under Amendment 4 will be randomized 1:1 to Arm 1 or Arm 2.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Aged ≥18 years at signing of informed consent.

Pathology-confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer with evidence of recurrent or metastatic disease not amenable to curative therapy.

Progression on or after treatment with at least two prior lines of endocrine therapy in the recurrent or metastatic setting. a. If metastatic disease recurrence occurs during or within six months of discontinuing adjuvant endocrine therapy, then that endocrine therapy will count as one line of prior therapy.

Participants must have received a CDK4/6i in combination with endocrine therapy in the recurrent or metastatic setting.

Disqualifiers

Treatment with chemotherapy in the recurrent or metastatic setting, including antibody drug conjugates with a chemotherapeutic payload.

Prior treatment with an Aurora Kinase A (AURKA) specific-targeted or pan-Aurora-targeted agent, including alisertib, in any setting.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Objective Response Rate (ORR) Within Dose Subgroup

Objective response rate is defined as the percentage of participants demonstrating a confirmed objective response during the study.

Time frame
From date of randomization to first confirmed Complete or Partial Response, whichever came earlier, assessed up to 48 months
2

Duration of Response (DOR) Within Dose Subgroup

Duration of response is measured from the time at which measurement criteria are first met for Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (whichever status is recorded first) until the first date of recurrence or progressive disease (PD) or death is objectively documented.

Time frame
From start date of response (after date of randomization) to first PD, assessed up to 48 months
3

Disease Control Rate (DCR) Within Dose Subgroup

Disease control rate is the proportion of participants who achieve overall tumor response (confirmed CR or PR) or Stable Disease (SD) lasting for at least 24 weeks from randomization.

Time frame
From date of randomization to first confirmed Complete or Partial Response, whichever came earlier, assessed up to 48 months
4

Progression Free Survival (PFS) Within Dose Subgroup

Progression Free Survival (PFS) is measured in months and based on the local tumor assessment. The time interval from the date of randomization until the first date on which recurrence, progression, or death due to any cause, is documented.

Time frame
From date of randomization to date of recurrence, progression or death, assessed up to 48 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Objective Response Rate (ORR) Within Biomarker-Defined Subgroup

Objective response rate is defined as the percentage of participants demonstrating a confirmed objective response during the study.

Time frame
From date of randomization to first confirmed Complete or Partial Response, whichever came earlier, assessed up to 48 months
2

Duration of Response (DOR) Within Biomarker-Defined Subgroup

Duration of response is measured from the time at which measurement criteria are first met for CR or PR (whichever status is recorded first) until the first date of recurrence or progressive disease (PD) or death is objectively documented.

Time frame
From start date of response (after date of randomization) to first PD, assessed up to 48 months
3

Disease Control Rate (DCR) Within Biomarker-Defined Subgroup

Disease control rate is the proportion of participants who achieve overall tumor response (confirmed CR or PR) or SD lasting for at least 24 weeks from randomization.

Time frame
From date of randomization to first confirmed Complete or Partial Response, whichever came earlier, assessed up to 48 months
4

Progression Free Survival (PFS) Within Biomarker-Defined Subgroup

Progression Free Survival (PFS) is measured in months and based on the local tumor assessment. The time interval from the date of randomization until the first date on which recurrence, progression, or death due to any cause, is documented.

Time frame
From date of randomization to date of recurrence, progression or death, assessed up to 48 months
