Phase I trial of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin chemotherapy in combination with CD40 agonist and Flt3 ligand in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (SABCS 2023)
This is a single arm phase I pilot study of liposomal doxorubicin, CDX-1140 (CD40 agonist monoclonal antibody), and CDX-301 (recombinant Flt3 ligand) combination therapy in patients with metastatic or unresectable locally advanced metastatic TNBC. Key eligibility criteria are unresectable stage III or stage IV TNBC (ER ≤10%, PR ≤10%, HER2/neu negative), 1st to 3rd line treatment for metastatic disease (1st line patients need to be PD-L1 negative by 22C3 assay), measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria, consent for pre-treatment and on-treatment biopsies of amenable soft tissue tumor lesions, no prior treatment with an anti-CD40 antibody or a Flt3 ligand, no anthracycline treatment in the metastatic setting, no prior progression while on anthracycline-based therapy or within 6 months of completing neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and no history of non-infectious pneumonitis or current pneumonitis. This trial will enroll up to 45 patients across multiple sites (NCT05029999) and is currently open at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Texas Oncology, University of Chicago, University of Texas San Antonio, Sarah Cannon Research Institute, and Johns Hopkins.
