Eligibility

Who can join

The film gives the main points. The full list below is copied from the registry; the study team makes the final decision.

  • Age18 Years to no maximum
  • SexAll
  • Healthy volunteersNo

You may be able to join if

  • Patient must have enrolled onto EAY191 and must have been given a treatment assignment to ComboMATCH to EAY191-N5 based on the presence of an actionable mutation as defined in EAY191
  • Patients must have a HER2 amplified solid tumor except breast cancer.
  • If IHC is 0 or 1+, patient (pt) is NOT ELIGIBLE regardless of in situ hybridization (ISH)/FISH or next generation sequencing (NGS) status
  • If IHC is 3+, pt IS ELIGIBLE regardless of ISH/FISH or NGS status
  • If IHC is 2+, ISH/FISH OR NGS must be positive for the patient to be ELIGIBLE. Otherwise, pt is NOT ELIGIBLE
  • If IHC is unknown and…
  • ISH/FISH is positive, independent of NGS results, the patient IS ELIGIBLE
  • ISH/FISH is negative and NGS positive with ≥ 7 copies, the patient IS ELIGIBLE
  • Patients must have recurrent or persistent disease
  • No known evidence of RB1 loss or deletion including copy number loss or deleterious mutation
  • Patients must have disease that can be safely biopsied and agree to a pre-treatment biopsy or, if disease cannot be safely biopsied, have archival tissue available from within 12 months prior to the date of registration on the ComboMATCH Registration Trial (EAY191)
  • Patients must have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1. A second measurable lesion outside of the biopsiable lesion is required
  • Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS) directed therapy shows no evidence of progression for 3 months or more and patient is not on steroids and is asymptomatic
  • No known leptomeningeal disease
  • Patients may have received up to 5 prior lines of systemic therapy
  • Prior therapy with trastuzumab or pertuzumab, either alone or in combination, antibody drug conjugates (ADC) such as DS8201a or T-DM1 is allowed
  • No prior therapy with HER2 targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) such as neratinib or tucatinib
  • No prior therapy with CDK4/6 inhibition

The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

neratinib maleate. The maleate salt form of neratinib, an orally available, quinazoline-based, irreversible inhibitor of both the receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2; ERBB2) and human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, neratinib targets and covalently binds to the cysteine residue in the ATP-binding pockets of both HER2 and EGFR. This inhibits their activity and results in the inhibition of downstream signal transduction events, induces cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and ultimately decreases cellular proliferation in HER2- and EGFR-expressing tumor cells. EGFR and HER2, RTKs that are mutated or overactivated in many tumor cell types, play key roles in tumor cell proliferation and tumor vascularization. NCI Drug Dictionary

letrozole/palbociclib regimen. A regimen consisting of letrozole and palbociclib that can be used in the treatment of breast cancer. NCI Drug Dictionary

The study

Treatment groups

Randomized · Parallel · masking: None

Arm I (neratinib maleate) (Active Comparator)

Patients receive neratinib maleate PO QD on days 1-14 of cycle 0 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive neratinib maleate PO QD on days 1-28 of each subsequent cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who experience progression may crossover to Arm II. Patients undergo ECHO or MUGA during screening and on study, and CT or MRI and collection of blood samples throughout the trial. Patients may also undergo tumor biopsy during screening and on study.

Arm II (neratinib maleate, palbociclib) (Experimental)

Patients receive neratinib maleate PO QD on days 1-14 of cycle 0 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive neratinib maleate PO QD on days 1-28 and palbociclib PO QD on days 1-21 of each subsequent cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo ECHO or MUGA during screening and on study, and CT or MRI and collection of blood samples throughout the trial. Patients may also undergo tumor biopsy during screening and on study.
