A Phase 2 Study of PCS6422 With Capecitabine in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer
Trial Status: active
This is an adaptive Phase 2, open-label, randomized, multi-center study evaluating up to
2 regimens of PCS6422 with capecitabine (Cap) vs. standard dose of Cap alone in patients
with advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The goal of the study is to assess the
efficacy and safety of PCS6422 + Cap as a treatment option for patients with advanced or
metastatic breast cancer who are not eligible for anthracycline- or taxane-containing
therapies, or other available therapies, including PD-1 or PARP inhibitors.
Inclusion Criteria
Aged ≥18 years at Screening
Diagnosis of histologically confirmed breast cancer that is unresectable. The following subsets of breast cancer are included:
Patients with triple-negative breast cancer, advanced or metastatic
Patients with hormone receptor (HR) positive, ER positive, HER2 negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer
Has measurable disease in accordance with RECIST 1.1 obtained by imaging within 28 days prior to C1D1
Other therapies are not indicated (eg, resistant or intolerant to taxanes and/or an anthracycline-containing regimen) for treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer
Has a life expectance of at least 24 weeks
Has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) 0 or 1 at screening
Has adequate bone marrow, liver, and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements conducted within 7 days before C1D1 (Note: labs will also be repeated pre-dose on C1D1 to confirm eligibility): a. Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (≥90 g/L) b. Adequate renal function by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) defined as a creatinine clearance >50 mL/min (>0.84 mL/s) (Cockcroft-Gault equation) and normalized to body surface area c. Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of ≥1.5×109/L d. Platelet count of ≥100×109/L without growth factor/transfusion e. Total bilirubin <1.5× upper limit of normal (ULN); or ≤3×ULN if the patient has Gilbert's disease f. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <2.5×ULN, with liver metastasis <5×ULN g. International normalized ratio (INR) <1.5 and prothrombin time (PT) ≤1.5×ULN, unless both of the following conditions are met: i. Patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy, and ii. PT or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulant h. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.5×ULN, unless both of the following conditions are met: i. Patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy, and ii. PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
Exclusion Criteria

Currently receiving any hormone replacement therapy, unless discontinued within 21 days prior to randomization
Received IV 5-FU or oral 5-FU analog in the 4 weeks prior to C1D1
Received DPD inhibitor within 4 weeks prior to C1D1

Cardiac:
Has history or presence of clinically significant abnormal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) results, in the Medical Monitor or Investigator's opinion
Has prolonged QTc (with Fridericia's correction) of >480 msec performed at Screening
Has a history of prolonged QTc interval, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation or significant ventricular arrhythmia, or Torsades de Pointes, or a history of ventricular ablation for arrhythmia
Has congenital long QT syndrome or a family history of long QT syndrome
Has other clinically significant cardiac disease including, but not limited to, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, cardiac or other vascular stenting, angioplasty, or surgery ≤12 months prior to randomization, congestive heart failure
