Program Overview
The study aims to find out if the combination of afuresertib and fulvestrant can help control breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and does not have the HER2 protein (HER2-). It is for patients whose cancer has either progressed despite previous hormone therapy or has returned after treatment. Participants can have had up to two previous treatments for advanced cancer, including hormone therapy and possibly chemotherapy.
Description
This study is for patients with advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer that has either worsened during hormone therapy or returned after treatment. Participants can have had up to two previous treatments for advanced cancer, including hormone therapy and possibly chemotherapy. The study will test the safety and effectiveness of combining afuresertib with fulvestrant.
Eligible patients must be 18 years or older and have confirmed HR+/HER2- breast cancer. They should have had 1 to 2 previous treatments for advanced cancer, with at least one being hormone therapy. Patients must have measurable cancer that can be tracked using scans.
In the first part of the study, patients will need to provide a tumor sample for genetic testing. In the second part, a blood sample is required for specific genetic tests. Patients must be in good health, able to take oral medication, and not have any conditions that would interfere with the study drugs. Women of childbearing age must use effective birth control during and after the study.
Patients cannot participate if they have had recent major surgery, other active cancers, a history of seizures, or active brain metastases. They also cannot have previously used certain cancer drugs or have uncontrolled high blood pressure, active hepatitis, or HIV. Certain medications that interact with the study drugs are also not allowed.
