Drug: ZEN003694
Bromodomain Inhibitor Drug: Talazoparib PARP Inhibitor |
- Part 1 and Part 2: Incidence of of treatment-related adverse events (AE) and treatment-related serious adverse events (SAE) [ Time Frame: From screening up to 18 months ]
- Part 1: Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1, Up to 1 month ]A DLT is a treatment-related, clinically significant adverse event or laboratory abnormality occurring during the first cycle of treatment
- Part 2: Objective response rate (ORR) defined as a complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD ≥ 4 cycles) by RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: From screening up to 12 months ]
- Part 1 and Part 2: Measure the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter: AUC of ZEN003694 administered in combination with talazoparib [ Time Frame: From screening up to 6 months ]
- Part 1 and Part 2: Measure the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter: Cmax of ZEN003694 administered in combination with talazoparib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1, Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 2 Day 1, and Cycle 2 Day 15 ]
- Part 1: Measure the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter: Cmin of ZEN003694 administered in combination with talazoparib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1, Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 2 Day 1, and Cycle 2 Day 15 ]
- Part 1 and Part 2: Measure the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter: Tmax of ZEN003694 administered in combination with talazoparib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1, Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 2 Day 1, and Cycle 2 Day 15 ]
- Part 1 and Part 2: Measure the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter: t1/2 of ZEN003694 administered in combination with talazoparib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1, Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 2 Day 1, and Cycle 2 Day 15 ]
- Part 1: Objective response rate (ORR) defined as a complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD ≥ 4 cycles) by RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: From screening up to 6 months ]
- Part 1 and Part 2: Evaluate median radiographic progression-free survival [ Time Frame: From screening up to 18 months ]Time to radiographic progression by RECIST 1.1 or death
- Part 1 and Part 2: Evaluate median progression-free survival [ Time Frame: From screening up to 12 months ]Time to radiographic progression by RECIST 1.1, clinical progression, or death
- Part 1 and Part 2: Evaluate duration of response (DOR) [ Time Frame: From screening up to 12 months ]Time from first dose to last dose of ZEN-3694
- Part 1 and Part 2: Change From Baseline in Global Health Status/Quality of Life (QoL) Measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) for Overall Duration [ Time Frame: Screening and Day 1 of every 28-day Cycle, up to 18 months (Overall Duration) ]EORTC QLQ-C30: cancer-specific instrument with 30 questions to assess the participant QoL. First 28 questions used to evaluate 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, social), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain) and other single items (dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, constipation, diarrhea, financial difficulties). Each question assessed on 4-point scale (1= not at all, 2= a little, 3= quite a bit, 4= very much); functional scales: higher score = better level of functioning; symptom scale: higher score = more severe symptoms; for single items: higher score= more severe problem. Last 2 questions used to evaluate global health status (GHS)/QoL. Each question was assessed on 7-point scale (1= very poor to 7= excellent). Scores averaged, transformed to 0-100 scale; higher score=better quality of life/better level of functioning.
- Part 1 and Part 2: Change from Baseline in Breast Symptoms Scale as Assessed by the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Breast Cancer Module (EORTC-QLQ-BR23) [ Time Frame: Screening and Day 1 of every 28-day Cycle, up to 18 months (Overall Duration) ]EORTC-QLQ-BR23 is a disease-specific module for breast cancer developed as a supplement for the EORTC-QLQ-C30 to assess the quality of life of participants with breast cancer. EORTC-QLQ-BR23 symptoms subscale includes 4 items: systemic therapy side effects, breast symptoms, arm symptoms, upset by hair loss. Each item is rated by choosing 1 of 4 possible responses that record the level of intensity (1= not at all, 2= a little, 3= quite a bit, and 4= very much), higher scores=high level of symptom/problems.
