A Study of SDX-7320 in Combination with Eribulin for the Treatment of Patients with Triple-Negative Breast Cancer, ARETHA Study
This phase II trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of SDX-7320 (evexomostat) in combination with eribulin for the treatment of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Evexomostat is a drug that causes cell cycle arrest and prevents blood vessel growth in tumors. Eribulin is a standard chemotherapy treatment for TNBC. Eribulin is designed to stop cancer cells from multiplying, which means it slows the cancer cells from growing and spreading. Giving evexomostat in combination with eribulin may be more effective at treating metastatic TNBC than standard chemotherapy on its own.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the biologic efficacy of evexomostat (SDX-7320) defined by the change in insulin resistance scores (Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance [HOMA-IR]) on or after cycle 4 of treatment (i.e. ~12 weeks).
SECONDARY/EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the safety and tolerability of SDX-7320 plus eribulin chemotherapy as determined by:
Ia. Type, frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) per the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.
Ib. Type, frequency and severity of laboratory toxicities per CTCAE version 5.0.
II. Objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of patients with an objective tumor response (either partial response [PR] or complete response [CR] per investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version [v]1.1).
III. Duration of response, defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective tumor response to the time of radiographic progression (per investigator using RECIST v1.1) or death from any cause on study, whichever occurs first.
IV. Investigator-assessed progression free survival (PFS) using RECIST v1.1.
V. Changes in circulating metabolic markers including fasting levels of glucose, insulin, leptin, adiponectin, hemoglobin A1c, and lipids.
VI. Changes in body composition measured by computed tomography (CT).
VII. Quality of life (QOL) will be assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Breast (FACT-B) (version 4) scale.
VIII. Plasma concentration-time (pharmacokinetic [PK]) profile of SDX-7320 and its primary metabolite SDX-7539 and other potential metabolites when given in combination with eribulin.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive eribulin intravenously (IV) over 2-5 minutes on days 1 and 8 and evexomostat subcutaneously (SC) on days 1 and 15 during odd cycles and on day 8 during even cycles. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and collection of blood samples throughout the study.
ARM II: Patients receive eribulin IV over 2-5 minutes on days 1 and 8 and placebo SC on days 1 and 15 during odd cycles and on day 8 during even cycles. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT or MRI and collection of blood samples throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up within 30 days.
