Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a study drug called Rucaparib, administered in combination with the type of radiation therapy that is usually given to women with your form of breast cancer.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Female, ≥ 18 years of age.
- Non-metastatic, histologically or cytologically-confirmed TNBC (defined as ER 1% or PR >1% AND Her-2/neu 0-1+ by IHC or FISH-negative, or as per MD discretion), with evidence of residual grade 3 invasive breast cancer AND either 1) >5 cm of residual disease in the breast OR 2) ≥ 4 axillary LNs in the axilla after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, at the time of definitive surgical treatment.
- Definitive surgical treatment with breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy and axillary lymph node evaluation.
- At least 6-month life expectancy, ECOG Performance status 1 year.
- Ability to swallow and retain oral medications.
- Written informed consent obtained from subject and ability for subject to comply with the requirements of the study.
- Female subjects of childbearing potential should be willing to use 2 methods of birth control or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant while participating on study, she should inform the treating physician immediately.
Exclusion Criteria
- Gross residual tumor on imaging or positive margins after breast conserving surgery that are un-excised, as radiation dose in the study will be limited to 60 Gy.
- Complete pathologic response to NAC.
- Receipt of PARP inhibitor prior to RT.
- Pregnant or expecting to conceive within the projected duration of the trial, starting with screening visit through 180 days after the last dose of trial treatment.
- Prior history of radiation therapy to the ipsilateral breast and/or regional nodes is not allowed (prior RT to other sites is permitted).
- Patients with breast augmentation implants are excluded.
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to rucaparib.
- Concomitant anti-neoplastic treatment is not allowed during protocol treatment and should be completed at least 2 weeks prior to commencement of protocol treatment, with resolution of associated acute toxicities. Bisphosphonates are permitted without restriction even during protocol treatment. Maintenance pembrolizumab is permitted during the protocol treatment.
- Significant comorbidity: Patients with clinically significant and uncontrolled major disease or disorder that could exacerbate potential toxicities, confound safety assessments, require excluded therapy for management, or limit study compliance.
- Ongoing therapy with other investigational agents. Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
- Unresolved toxicity from other agents. Patients with unresolved CTCAE v4.03 Grade 3 or greater toxicity from prior administration of another investigational drug and/or anti-cancer treatment are not eligible.
