Infigratinib in Combination with Tamoxifen for the Treatment of Hormone Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative Metastatic or Locally Recurrent Unresectable Breast Cancer

Trial Status: complete

This phase IB trial evaluates the best dose of infigratinib when given in combination with tamoxifen in treating patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or has come back (recurrent) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Infigratinib, a drug that targets the FGFR cancer pathway, may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Tamoxifen blocks the use of estrogen by tumor cells. Researchers hope to learn if infigratinib, a drug that targets the FGFR cancer pathway, can be safely added to current anti-hormonal therapies, specifically those including tamoxifen (Nolvadex or Soltamox).
