Trial of Ra-223 Dichloride in Combination With Hormonal Therapy and Denosumab in the Treatment of Patients With Hormone-Positive Bone-Dominant Metastatic Breast Cancer

Inclusion Criteria

• Stage IV breast cancer with metastases to the bone and/or bone marrow.
• Pathological or radiographically confirmation of metastases to the bone and/or bone marrow. (The definition of radiologic diagnosis of bone metastasis is based on typical and highly reliable imaging findings in studies such as bone scan (new or multiple TC99m positive lesions), PET/CT (new or multiple FRG positive lesions), and MRI (typical T1w replacement, T2w positive and T1 plus contrast media positive) for bone metastasis with 2 or more lesions. If the bone metastasis is highly suspected or not well defined by imaging, bone biopsy is necessary for confirmation.)
• Visible uptake in at least one lesion on bone scanning prior to radium therapy.
• No limit in number of prior hormonal agents in metastatic breast cancer; only one prior chemotherapy is allowed in metastatic setting. Anti-HER2 targeting therapy, CDK4/6 inhibitor, other targeted therapy (e.g., mTOR or PI3K inhibitor) in combination with hormonal treatment will be counted as one hormonal agent. Any anti-HER2 targeting therapy in combination with chemotherapy will not be counted as one additional treatment.
• Breast tumors with hormone receptor positive disease (ER+/PR+, ER+/PR- regardless of HER2 status).
• ECOG performance score of 0, 1.
• Age =/> 18 years.
• All acute toxic effects of any prior treatment have resolved to NCI-CTCAE v4.0 Grade 1 or less at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF).
• Subjects (men and women) of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception beginning at the signing of the ICF until at least 6 months after the last dose of study drug. The definition of adequate contraception will be based on the judgment of the principal investigator or a designated associate.
• Acceptable hematology and serum biochemistry screening values: White Blood Cell Count (WBC) =/> 3,000/mm3 Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) =/> 1,500/mm3 Platelet (PLT) count =/> 100,000/mm3 Hemoglobin (HGB) =/> 10 g/dl Total bilirubin level National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.03 Grade 2. C) Cardiac failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) III or IV. D) Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis-Bone marrow dysplasia or Myelodysplastic syndrome.
• Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to the start of study drug. Post-menopausal women (defined as no menses for at least 1 year) and surgically sterilized women are not required to undergo a pregnancy test.
• Any condition which, in the investigator's opinion, makes the subject unsuitable for trial participation.
• Major surgery within 30 days prior to start of study drug.
• Excluded therapies and medications, previous and concomitant: A) Concurrent anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, anti-HER 2 targeting therapies, or tumor embolization) other than Ra 223 dichloride. Concurrent external beam radiation therapy is permitted.B) Prior use of Ra-223 dichloride. C) Concurrent use of another investigational drug or device therapy (i.e., outside of study treatment) during, or within 4 weeks of trial entry (signing of the informed consent form).
