    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    This phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of abexinostat and palbociclib when given together with fulvestrant in treating patients with breast or gynecologic cancer. Abexinostat may prevent tumor cells from growing and multiplying and may kill tumor cells. Palbociclib may prevent or slow the growth of tumor cells when used with other anti-hormonal therapy. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast and gynecologic tumor cells. Fulvestrant may help fight breast or gynecologic cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Giving abexinostat, palbociclib, and fulvestrant may work better in treating patients with breast or gynecologic cancer.
    Detailed Description
    PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: To determine the safety and tolerability of abexinostat tosylate (abexinostat) and palbociclib in combination with fulvestrant. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for abexinostat and palbociclib when combined with fulvestrant at standard dose. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: To describe the pharmacokinetics associated with abexinostat. To describe the efficacy of abexinostat and palbociclib in combination with fulvestrant in patients with antiestrogen refractory estrogen receptor positive (ER+), HER2 negative(-) breast cancer and gynecological metastatic tumors. To assess the clinical benefit rate (CBR) defined as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD) at 6 months and progression free survival according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: To assess correlations between overall response rate (ORR), CBR at 6 months, and progression free survival (PFS) with genomic aberrations assessed as cell free tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and histone acetylation on peripheral blood. To assess correlations between ORR, CBR at 6 months, and PFS endpoints and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) histone deacetylase (HDAC) gene expression, PBMC acetylation in vivo and ex vivo. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of abexinostat and palbociclib. Patients receive abexinostat orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-4, 8-11, and 15-18, palbociclib PO once daily (QD) on days 1-21, and fulvestrant intramuscularly (IM) on days 1 and 15 of cycle 1 and day 1 of subsequent cycles. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients will be followed for 90 days after completion of treatment or removal from study, or until death, whichever occurs first.

For classes of investigational agents that are not known to have prolonged toxicities, the washout time may be decreased to 14 days at the discretion of the principal investigator Patients may not have any known intolerability to any of the involved agents or established cytopenias to CDK4/6 inhibitors that require dose modifications or dose delays of greater than 2 weeks Patient with a known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of palbociclib, abexinostat, or fulvestrant, including to peanut and soy Patient has a concurrent malignancy or malignancy within 3 years of study entry, with the exception of adequately treated, basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma, nonmelanomatous skin cancer or curatively resected cervical cancer Patient who has a history of untreated brain, or leptomeningeal, metastases (central nervous system (CNS) imaging is not required before study entry unless there is a clinical suspicion of CNS involvement) Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate, provided: They are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline) They have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases (confirmed by imaging within 28 days of the first dose of study drug) They are not using steroids for at least 7 days before the first dose of study drug Have isolated lesions that were treated with localized radiation therapy This exception does not include leptomeningeal metastases, which is excluded regardless of clinical stability Patient must not have been previously treated with histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi), with the exception of low dose of divalproex sodium (Depakote) or valproic acid Patient has any medical, psychiatric or social condition, which in the opinion of the investigator, places the patient at an unacceptably high risk for toxicities or affects compliance to study procedures Patient has impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of the study drugs (e.g., uncontrolled ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection) Patient is currently receiving or has received systemic therapeutic doses of corticosteroids =< 2 weeks prior to starting study drug, or has not fully recovered from side effects of such treatment Note: The following uses of corticosteroids are permitted: single doses, topical applications (e.g., for rash), inhaled sprays (e.g., for obstructive airways diseases), eye drops or local injections (e.g., intra-articular) Patient has known clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac repolarization abnormality Patient is currently receiving any of the following substances and cannot be discontinued 30 days prior to cycle 1 day 1: Concomitant medications, herbal supplements, and/or fruits (e.g. grapefruit, pummelos, star fruit, Seville oranges) and their juices that are strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4/5, Medications that have a narrow therapeutic window and are predominantly metabolized through CYP3A4/5 and CYP2D6 substrates Has uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to: Uncontrolled infection Disseminated intravascular coagulation Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
