Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy, Safety

The primary objective of this study is to determine the clinical activity of intratumoral INT230-6 in patients with early TNBC.

Secondary objectives 1

1. The secondary objectives of this study are to determine the safety of intratumoral INT230-6 in patients with early TNBC, and to determine translational aspects of its mechanism-of-action.

Conditions and MedDRA coding

Early triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 9

1. Newly histologically diagnosed, previously untreated locally advanced nonmetastatic TNBC as defined by the most recent American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) / College of American Pathologist (CAP) guidelines
2. The following stages according to staging per American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) for breast cancer staging criteria version 8 are included: cT1c (1.5-2cm) N1-3 M0 or cT2-4c N0-3 M0.
3. Multifocal and multicentric primary tumors are allowed and the tumor with the most advanced T stage should be used to assess the eligibility. If multifocal or multicentric disease TNBC needs to be confirmed for each focus.
4. Measurable disease in the breast with at least one lesion with a diameter ≥2cm1.5cm that is evaluable per RECIST v1.1, visible in ultrasound and injectable.
5. Male or female subject Age ≥ 18 years.
6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1
7. Adequate bone marrow function, hepatic and renal function
8. Negative pregnancy test (for women only)
9. Sufficient cardiac function

Exclusion criteria 13

1. Inflammatory Breast Cancer cT4d
2. Concomitant anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonist, direct thrombin inhibitors or platelet inhibitors/antiplatelet agents that cannot be stopped 24 hours before the administration of IMP.
3. Any concomitant drugs contraindicated for use with the trial drug according to the Investigator Brochure (IB).
4. Known hypersensitivity to trial drug or to any component of the trial drug.
5. Prior chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy or anti-PD-L1 agent for previous breast cancer or Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) on the same side.
6. Concurrent bilateral breast cancer
7. Concomitant treatment with any other experimental drug for recent breast cancer diagnosis in another clinical trial.
8. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or active chronic hepatitis C or hepatitis B virus infection or any uncontrolled active systemic infection requiring intravenous (iv) antimicrobial treatment.
9. Active autoimmune disease that required systemic treatment in the past 2 years
10. History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis and tuberculosis.
11. Known history of allogeneic organ or stem cell transplant.
12. Diagnosis of immunodeficiency, concomitant or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 7 days before registration.
13. Unfavorable relation between tumor and breast size, or close contact of the tumor and skin per judgment of the investigator and breast surgeon.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

2. pCR in lymph nodes
3. Pattern of non pCR
4. Radiological response according to RECIST v1.1
5. Radiological tumor response using two perpendicular diameters
6. EFS
7. Rate of breast conserving surgery (BCS) at the time of definitive surgery
8. Surgery conversion rates
9. Adverse events according to National Cancer institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0
