NCT01251874

Brief Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with carboplatin and to see how well they work in treating patients with human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Carboplatin kills cancer cells by damaging the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that lets the cancer cell survive and reproduce. The body has proteins that try to repair the damaged DNA. Veliparib may prevent these proteins from repairing the DNA so that carboplatin may be able to kill more tumor cells. Giving veliparib with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells than carboplatin alone.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of adverse events to measure the safety and tolerability of this treatment combination

    Number and severity of toxicity incidents will be tabulated. Non-hematologic toxicities will be evaluated via the ordinal Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 standard toxicity grading. Hematologic toxicity measures of thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and leukopenia will be assessed using continuous variables as the outcome measures (primarily nadir and percent change from baseline values) as well as categorization via CTCAE standard toxicity grading. Frequency distributions and other descriptive measures will form the basis of the analysis of these variables.

    Up to 12 weeks post-treatment

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical response (complete and partial response as well as stable and progressive disease)

    Up to 12 weeks post-treatment

Other Outcomes (3)

  • PARP-1 activity

    Up to 5 years

  • Thymidine kinase uptake on 3'-[F-18]fluoro-3'-deoxythymidine positron emission tomography (FLT-PET) scans

    Up to 18 weeks (after course 3)

  • Circulating tumor cell markers

    Up to 5 years

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (veliparib, F 18 fluorothymidine, carboplatin)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 and veliparib PO BID on days 1-7 or 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may undergo fluorothymidine PET scan and peripheral blood cell and tumor tissue collection periodically for correlative studies.

Eligibility Criteria

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically proven metastatic or locally advanced inoperable breast cancer that fulfills one of the following two criteria:

  • HER negative with a known germline BRCA1/2 mutation

  • No prior therapy with veliparib for metastatic disease will be allowed
  • +3 more criteria
