About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if alisertib in addition to usual care works to treat HR+/HER2+ breast cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does alisertib stop the communication between HR and HER2? * Are there genetic markers that predict how well someone's cancer will respond to alisertib?

Participants will receive alisertib in addition to their usual care.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age > 18 years at the time of consent.

ECOG performance status </=2 (Karnofsky >/=60%).

Metastatic HR+/HER2+ breast cancer (estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) ≥1%, HER2 3+ by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or amplified by in situ hybridization (ISH).

Prior standard induction treatment with chemotherapy + trastuzumab + pertuzumab (HP) or fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) and have completed a minimum of 4 cycles without progressive disease.

Disqualifiers

Active infection requiring systemic therapy.

Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are not eligible for this trial.

Treatment with any investigational drug within 14 days prior to registration, or within 5 half-lives of the investigational product, whichever is longer.
