Brief Summary

This is an exploratory, single-arm, multi-center study to assess the efficacy and safety of T-DXd combined with pyrotinib as the first-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

This study is planned to recruit 3 to 12 patients in safety run-in (Part A) and 39 to 42 patients in dose expansion (Part B) in several investigational sites in China. The total number of patients enrolled in the study will be 45 to 51. Among them, 45 patients will start at the recommended dose. Patients who fulfill all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will receive T-DXd combined with pyrotinib until confirmed progressive disease. Patients will attend a safety follow up visit 40 days after last dose of T-DXd with pyrotinib. There are two main parts to this study; Part A, Combination dose finding and Parts B, Dose expansion.

Tumor assessments will be performed at Screening as baseline with follow-up every 9 weeks(±7 days) from the date of first dosing date of T-DXd with pyrotinib for 54 weeks, and then every 12 weeks (±7 days) until confirmed objective disease progression.

Primary Objective for Part A:

To define the recommended dose of pyrotinib combined with T-DXd Recommended dose

Secondary Objective for Part A:

To investigate the safety and tolerability of T-DXd + pyrotinib as first-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

Primary Objective for Part B :

To determine the efficacy of T-DXd + pyrotinib as first-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

Secondary Objective for Part B :

To further determine the efficacy of T-DXd + pyrotinib as first-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and To further evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of T-DXd + pyrotinib as first-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

Detailed Description

Combination of HER2-antibody-drug conjugate and tyrosine kinase inhibitors demonstrated additive or synergistic anti-tumour effects in HER2-positive cell lines or metastatic breast cancer in in vitro or in vivo studies .It is expected that the efficacy will be further improved in early-line patients with the combination of HER2-antibody-drug conjugate and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Given the efficacy of T-DXd monotherapy and the widely used of pyrotinib in second-line metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, and no major overlapping toxicities between T-DXd and pyrotinib, it may be a promising combination regimen to explore in first-line HER2+ metastatic breast cancer in China.

12. Male and female. Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.

13. Negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) for women of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilised male partner.

14. Female participants must be 1 year post-menopausal, surgically sterile, or using one highly effective form of birth control (a highly effective method of contraception is defined as one that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly). Women of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilised male partner must agree to use one highly effective method of birth control from the time of screening and must agree to continue using such precautions for 7 months after the last dose of study treatment (see Table 4 for complete list of highly effective birth control methods). Female patients must refrain from egg cell donation and breastfeeding while on study and for 7 months after the last dose of study treatments. Non sterilised male partners of a woman of childbearing potential must use a male condom plus spermicide (condom alone in countries where spermicides are not approved) throughout this period. Not engaging in heterosexual activity (sexual abstinence) for the duration of the study and drug washout period is an acceptable practice if this is the preferred usual lifestyle of the participant; however, periodic or occasional abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of contraception.

15. Male participants who intend to be sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must be surgically sterile or using an acceptable method of contraception (see Table 4) from the time of screening throughout the total duration of the study and the drug washout period (4 months after the last dose of study treatment) to prevent pregnancy in a partner. Male participants must not donate or bank sperm during this same time period. Not engaging in heterosexual activity (sexual abstinence) for the duration of the study and drug washout period is an acceptable practice if this is the preferred usual lifestyle of the participant; however, periodic or occasional abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of contraception.
