Phase 1 study of TTC-352 in patients with metastatic breast cancer progressing on endocrine and CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy.
Abstract
TTC-352 is a selective human estrogen receptor (ER) partial agonist developed for treatment of hormone-refractory ER + breast cancer. This was an accelerated dose escalation study with the primary endpoint of maximum tolerated dose that evaluated five dose levels of TTC-352 in breast cancer progressing after at least two lines of hormonal therapy including one in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. The secondary objectives were to determine treatment tolerability, pharmacokinetics of TTC-352, best response, progression-free survival (PFS), and PKCα expression in tumors. The study enrolled 15 patients. No dose-limiting toxicity was observed. Patients experienced the following grade 3 toxicities: asymptomatic pulmonary embolism, diarrhea, aspartate transaminase elevation, and myalgia, and one grade 4 toxicity of gamma glutamyltransferase elevation. Pharmacokinetic half-life was 7.6-14.3 h. The intra- and inter-individual variability for AUC0-∞ hampered assessment of the relationship between dose and AUC0-∞. Median PFS was 58 days (95% CI = 28,112). Higher PKCα expression in tumor stroma was associated with a trend toward longer PFS. TTC-352 demonstrates safety and early clinical evidence of antitumor activity against heavily pre...Continue Reading

Breast Cancer: Chemo-Resistance
Some cancers are difficult to treat and aggressive including the "triple-negative" breast cancer. This type of cancer is chemoresistant even before chemotherapy begins. Here are the latest discoveries chemo-resistance in breast cancer.
