A Phase II Single Arm Pilot Study of the Chk1/2 Inhibitor (LY2606368) In BRCA1/2 Mutation Associated Breast or Ovarian Cancer, Triple Negative Breast Cancer, and High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer
Background:
- All cells go through cycles which allow them to divide. In normal cells, Chk1 and Chk2
(Chk1/2) stop cell division at various points to allow any damage to DNA to be repaired.
- When Chk1/2 are not present, cells stop dividing and eventually die. LY2606368 blocks
the Chk1/2 proteins.
- Researchers hope that by blocking Chk1/2, it will cause tumor cells to die, thereby
shrinking tumors.
Objective:
- To see if LY2606368 helps shrink tumors in patients with certain breast, ovarian or
prostate cancers.
Eligibility:
- Patients at least 18 years old with breast or ovarian cancer. They must have a mutation in
BRCA1/2 genes for group 1, high grade serious ovarian cancer without BRCA1/2 mutation for
group 2, or triple negative breast cancer without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 3, or prostate
cancer with or without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 4.
Design:
- Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have
blood tests, an electrocardiogram (ECG) heart test, scans, and X-rays. They will have a
piece of their tumor removed at entry (CT-assisted biopsy).
- Study Day 1: Participants will have a physical exam and blood drawn. They may have a CT
scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
- Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28-day cycle: Participants will receive the study drug through
an IV.
- Vital signs will be checked before and after. An ECG will be done within 1 hour after.
- Day 15 and Day 28: Participants will have a physical exam, blood drawn, and a 12 lead
ECG.
- Cycle 1: Participants will have weekly phone calls and blood draws. Participants may
have another CT-assisted biopsy at the end of cycle 1.
- Cycle 2 and beyond, blood will be drawn every other week for routine blood tests.
- Participants will have an after-study visit with a physical exam and blood tests.
Participants may have another biopsy when they progressed on treatment. They will have
scans of the chest, pelvis, and abdomen and a 12 lead ECG.

Background:
- Checkpoint kinases 1 and 2 (Chk1/2) are major regulators of the cell cycle and are
intimately associated with the cellular response to DNA damage and repair. Chk1/2 also
function as the primary mediators of cell cycle arrest in tumors with p53 dysfunction,
such as high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), and triple negative breast cancer
(TNBC).
- Patients with germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation have inherent defects in DNA damage
repair pathways.
- Chk1/2 inhibition alone yielded DNA damage and mitotic catastrophe preclinically, even
in the absence of DNA damage by external agents in tumors with underlying DNA repair
dysfunction.
- The second-generation Chk1/2 inhibitor, LY2606368, yielded safety and preliminary single
agent activity in advanced cancer patients.
- We hypothesize that LY2606368 will result in clinical benefit in patients with
gBRCAm-associated breast or ovarian cancers, and HGSOC and TNBC with low genetic risk.
Objectives:
- To determine the objective response rate (CR+PR) of single agent LY2606368 in patients
with gBRCAm-associated breast or ovarian cancer, HGSOC and TNBC with low genetic risk.
- To determine the safety and toxicity, and progression-free interval (PFI) of LY2606368
in pretreated patients.
- To determine biochemical changes in the DNA damage repair and cell cycle check point
pathways in tumor and blood samples in response to treatment.
- To determine potential resistance mechanisms to LY2606368 treatment in HGSOC.
Eligibility:
- Patients with recurrent/refractory BRCA mutant breast or ovarian cancer, HGSOC, and
TNBC, for whom there remains no standard curative measures.
- A documented deleterious germline or somatic BRCA mutation for breast or ovarian cancer
patients enrolling in Cohort 1.
- Negative BRCA mutation testing or negative family history of hereditary breast and
ovarian cancer syndrome for HGSOC (Cohort 2).
- Negative BRCA mutation testing or negative family history of hereditary breast and
ovarian cancer syndrome for TNBC (Cohort 3).
- Effective with amendment I (version date 4/24/2017), mCRPC, Cohort 4 was closed.
- Negative BRCA mutation testing or negative family history of hereditary breast and
ovarian cancer syndrome for recurrent platinum-resistant HGSOC with measurable and
biopsiable disease (Cohort 5).
- Negative BRCA mutation testing or negative family history of hereditary breast and
ovarian cancer syndrome for recurrent platinum-resistant HGSOC with measurable but
without biopsiable disease (Cohort 6).
- Patients must be off prior chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, or
biological therapy for at least 4 weeks.
- ECOG performance status 0-2 and adequate organ and marrow function.
Design:
- This is an open label, single arm phase II trial to examine activity of LY2606368 in
patients in the 6 independent cohorts (Cohorts 1-6).
- LY2606368 will be dosed at the RP2D of 105 mg/m2 IV once every 14 days of a 28
day-cycle.
- Research samples including whole blood, CTCs, and tumor biopsies will be obtained for PD
endpoints at baseline, Cycle 1 Day 15 (6-24hr post-2nd dose), and/or at progression in
all patients. Tumor biopsies will not be performed in Cohort 6.
- Patients (Cohorts 1-3, 5 and 6) will be evaluated every two cycles for response using
RECIST v1.1 and every cycle for safety using CTCAE v4.0.

17. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy
test within 7 days prior to the start of the study.
18. The effects of LY2606368 on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this
reason, all subjects of reproductive potential must agree to use adequate
contraception prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and
for at least four months following the last dose of experimental therapy. All
subjects of reproductive potential must also agree to use both a barrier method
and a second method of birth control during the course of the study and for four
months after the last dose of study drug(s). Should a woman become pregnant or
suspect she is pregnant while she is participating in this study, she should
inform her treating physician immediately.
19. Ability of subject to understand, adhere to protocol requirements and the
willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
1. Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents.
2. Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial
because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic
dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
Patients with brain metastases diagnosed greater than 1 year prior to study entry may
be considered if they received sterilizing therapy to the CNS (resection or radiation)
and have been CNS recurrence-free for the 1-year period.
3. Patients who have had prior treatment with LY2606368 or other Chk inhibitors
4. Patients with a serious cardiac condition, such as congestive heart failure; New York
Heart Association Class III/IV heart disease; unstable angina pectoris; myocardial
infarction within the last 3 months; valvulopathy that is severe, moderate, or deemed
clinically significant despite medical intervention; or arrhythmias that are
symptomatic or refractory to medical intervention.
5. Patients who have QTc interval of > 470 msec on a screening electrocardiogram.
6. Patients with a prior history of drug-induced serotonin syndrome, or a family history
of long-QT syndrome.
7. Lack of recovery of prior adverse events due to prior cancer therapy to Grade less
than or equal to 1 (NCI CTCAE; except alopecia). Electrolyte abnormalities that are
corrected with supplementation will be eligible. Patients with platinum-related grade
2 or greater hypomagnesemia (on replacement) will be eligible. Stable persistent grade
2 peripheral neuropathy may be allowed as determined on a case-by-case basis at the
discretion of the PI.
8. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, symptomatic
congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, clinically
significant GI bleeding or hemoptysis within 28 days prior to the start of the study,
or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study
requirements.
9. Patients with active infection will not be eligible, but may become eligible once
infection has resolved and they are at least 7 days from completion of antibiotics.
10. Another previous or current invasive malignancy within the last 2 years, with the
exception of curatively treated stage Ia cervical carcinoma, or resected stage Ia
endometrial cancer, and noninvasive nonmelanoma skin cancers. Patients with gBRCA1/2m
and primary breast or ovarian cancers will be eligible for Cohort 1.
11. HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of
the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with LY2606368. HIV- positive patients
who are not on HAART and have CD4 counts > 500 will be considered on an individual
basis.
