Triple Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer BRCA-mutated Solid Tumor | Drug: BMN-673 Drug: Carboplatin Drug: Paclitaxel | Phase 1 |
Poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) 1/2 inhibitors are a novel class of anticancer agents that have shown activity in tumors with defects in DNA repair and may induce synthetic lethality in combination with agents that induce DNA damage by preventing DNA repair.
The rationale of this study is to determine whether a DNA damaging agent can potentiate the cell death induced by PARP inhibitors in individuals with tumor that are more susceptible to chemotherapy.
The study will evaluate the potential benefits of BMN 673 in combination with weekly carboplatin in patients with metastatic tumors associated with BRCA germ line mutations or patients with triple negative breast cancer with no known BRCA mutation, subsequently if tolerated, an additional cohort will examine the feasibility of adding paclitaxel to this combination for any solid tumor malignancies with potential benefit to this combination.
This is the first study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BMN 673 in combination with carboplatin in patients with either BRCA mutations or TNBC. If tolerable paclitaxel will be added to the combination in any solid tumor malignancies with potential benefit to this combination.

- Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of Initial response to the first documented tumor progression or date of death from any cause, up to 18 months. ]Response rate of combination (BMN 673 + carboplatin) in patients with BRCA germline mutations or triple negative cancer without known BRCA mutations, in solid tumor malignancies with paclitaxel with a 15 patient cohort expansion at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Response and progression in this study will be evaluated using the new international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee.
- Intolerable Toxicity [ Time Frame: From first dose to 30 day follow up. ]Analyses of adverse events will be performed for all patients having received at least one dose of study drug. The study will use the CTCAE v4.0 for reporting of non-hematologic adverse events.

- Her2 negative as per the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guidelines
- Paclitaxel expansion: any solid tumor malignancy with potential benefit from this combination and paclitaxel (ASP).
- Dose expansion cohort only: Histological or cytological confirmation of advanced unresectable solid tumors for which no standard therapy is available in patients with a known BRCA germline mutation or those with metastatic triple negative breast cancer without known BRCA mutation (see inclusion criteria one for definition of triple negative breast cancer).. For the paclitaxel cohorts, any solid tumors with potential benefit from this combination and paclitaxel.
- Consent to screening tumor biopsy (for accessible tumors when appropriate) [optional in dose escalation, mandatory in dose expansion]

- Potassium within normal range, or correctable with supplements;
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 x Upper Limit Normal (ULN)
- Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN, or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 60ml/min
- Females of child-bearing potential (FCBP) must have negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days before starting study treatment and willingness to adhere to acceptable forms of birth control (a physician-approved contraceptive method: oral, injectable, or implantable hormonal contraceptive; tubal ligation; intra-uterine device; barrier contraceptive with spermicide; or vasectomized partner) for a minimum of 4 weeks following the discontinuation of study treatment.
FCBP is defined as a sexually mature woman who:
- Has not undergone a hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus) or bilateral oophorectomy (the surgical removal of both ovaries) or,
- Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time during the preceding 12 consecutive months
- Male subjects with female partner of childbearing potential must agree to the use of a physician-approved contraceptive method throughout the course of the study and for a minimum of 4 weeks following the discontinuation of study treatment.
