CDK 4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine therapy improve progression-free survival and, for some agents, overall survival for patients with MBC. However, most patients will acquire resistance, highlighting an unmet need for more effective endocrine options in ER+ disease. OP-1250 is a small molecule oral complete estrogen receptor antagonist (CERAN) and selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) that binds the ligand binding domain of ER and completely blocks ER-driven transcriptional activity. OP-1250 potently inactivates both wild-type and mutant forms of ER, the latter of which confers ligand independent activity as a mechanism of resistance to standard of care endocrine therapies. In preclinical studies, OP-1250 in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitors demonstrated synergistic activity in models of both wild-type ER and those with ESR1 (the gene that encodes ER) activating mutations, and in brain metastasis. OP-1250 is orally bioavailable with a favorable pharmacokinetic (PK) profile supportive of once-daily dosing, and a low probability of drug:drug interactions, making it an attractive agent for patients with ER+/HER2- MBC. Methods: The study (NCT05508906) is an open-label, multicenter, 2-part study of OP-1250 in combination with either the CDK4/6 inhibitor ribociclib or the PI3K inhibitor alpelisib for patients with MBC. Eligibility includes adults with evaluable (measurable or non-measurable) ER+/HER2- recurrent, locally advanced or MBC confirmed by histology/cytology, ≤2 prior hormonal regimens (prior CDK4/6 inhibitors allowed) and ≤ 1 prior line of chemotherapy. Patients in the alpelisib arm must have a PIK3CA mutation. A total of 30 patients will be enrolled in each arm. The dose escalation cohorts will evaluate the safety and PK of varied OP-1250 doses (30mg, 60mg, or 120mg) administered orally (PO) every day (QD) in combination with approved dosages of either ribociclib 600 mg PO QD or alpelisib 300 mg PO QD to identify the recommended phase 2 doses (RP2D). The dose expansion cohorts will assess additional safety and PK parameters and further explore the anti-tumor activity of OP-1250 in combination with ribociclib or alpelisib. Tolerability, safety and PK of OP-1250 in combination with ribociclib or alpelisib constitute the primary endpoints. Overall response rate, clinical benefit rate and duration of response are key secondary endpoints. Enrollment at approximately 20 sites in the United States and Australia is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT05508906.
