A Randomized, Phase II Study Comparing Trastuzumab and Vinorelbine in Combination With Avelumab or Avelumab and Utomilumab (41BB/CD137 Agonist), in Patients With HER2-positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Who Have Progressed on Prior Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab
This research study is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for breast
cancer.
The drugs involved in this study are:
- Group A: Trastuzumab (Herceptin) + Vinorelbine (Navelbine)
- Group B: Trastuzumab + Vinorelbine + Avelumab
- Group C: Trastuzumab + Vinorelbine + Avelumab + Utomilumab (PF-05082566)
cancer.
The drugs involved in this study are:
- Group A: Trastuzumab (Herceptin) + Vinorelbine (Navelbine)
- Group B: Trastuzumab + Vinorelbine + Avelumab
- Group C: Trastuzumab + Vinorelbine + Avelumab + Utomilumab (PF-05082566)
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety
and effectiveness of an investigational drug combination to learn whether the drug
combination works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that drug
combination is being studied.
The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved Utomilumab as a treatment
for any disease.
The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has approved Avelumab as a treatment for
other diseases.
The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has approved trastuzumab as a treatment
option for this disease.
The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has approved vinorelbine as a treatment for
other diseases and is commonly used as a treatment option for this disease.
The immune system is the body's natural defense against disease. The immune system sends a
type of cells called T cells throughout the body to detect and fight infections and
diseases—including cancers. One way the immune system controls the activity of T cells is
through the PD-1 (programmed cell death protein-1) pathway. However, some cancer cells hide
from T-cell attack by taking control of the PD-1 pathway and this stops T cells from
attacking cancer cells. Avelumab is a type of drug, known as an antibody which is designed to
block the PD-1 pathway and helps the immune system in detecting and fighting cancer cells. An
antibody is a protein produced by the body's immune system when it detects harmful
substances. Previous studies show that the administration of antibodies which block the PD-1
pathway can lead to tumor destruction.
Utomilumab is an antibody designed to stimulate the body's immune system to fight cancer
cells. Previous studies have shown that the administration of this type of antibody may help
to prevent tumors from growing.
In the laboratory, adding avelumab and Utomilumab to trastuzumab appears to improve
effectiveness. It is not known whether this is true in humans.
In this research study, the investigators are evaluating the activity of 3 different
combinations: (a)trastuzumab and vinorelbine combined, (b) trastuzumab, vinorelbine and
avelumab combined, and (c) trastuzumab, vinorelbine, avelumab and utomilumab combined in
participants with metastatic HER2- positive breast cancer.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥18 years or older
- Histologically confirmed breast adenocarcinoma that is unresectable loco-regionally
advanced or metastatic
- HER2-positive (immunohistochemistry score 3+) or ERBB2- amplification (Ratio
ERBB2/centromeres ≥ 2.0 or mean gene copy number ≥ 6) on primary tumor or of
metastatic or unresectable loco-regional biopsy.
- Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 (see Section 11)
- Patients must have previous treatment with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (Kadcyla, T-DM1)
in any setting. Patients must have previously received trastuzumab and pertuzumab in
the metastatic setting or within 12 months of neoadjuvant/adjuvant treatment.
- Patient must have progressed on their most recent line of therapy. Progression must
have been demonstrated by radiological or clinical assessment.
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%
- Willingness and availability to submit FFPE tissue for central confirmation of HER2
positivity and central assessment of PD-L1 status. This can be from archival tissue
from unresectable loco-regional or metastatic disease obtained ≤ 1 year prior to
enrollment or new tissue material from a recently obtained surgical or diagnostic
biopsy. Tissue obtained for the biopsy must not have been previously irradiated. If a
patient does not have any available archival tissue ≤ 1 year old and the treating
investigator does not feel that it would be safe to perform a fresh biopsy, the
requirement for a fresh biopsy may be waived after discussion with the Principal
Investigator.
