Study Description

Brief Summary:

The primary objective of Phase 1b will be to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TTI-101 when added to palbociclib and AI or fulvestrant administered orally to participants with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) human epidermal receptor 2-negative (HER2)- palbociclib-resistant breast cancer, and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for TTI-101 when added to palbociclib and AI or fulvestrant.

The primary objective of Phase 2 will be to evaluate anti-tumor activity in participants who receive TTI-101 added to palbociclib or ribociclib and AI or fulvestrant.

   • Dosage of palbociclib, ribociclib, AI and fulvestrant must remain unchanged from regimen prior to study enrollment specifically palbociclib at a dose of 125, 100, or 75 mg administered orally for 21 days every 28-day cycle or ribociclib at a dose of 200, 400, or 600 mg administered orally for 21 days every 28-day cycle.
4. All men and premenopausal women must be on medical gonadal suppression therapy with a gonadotropin analog (e.g, goserelin or leuprolide) and have estrogen levels in the postmenopausal range by institutional criteria at baseline.
5. Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
6. Has documented confirmation of histological or cytological HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer per local laboratory testing.
7. Up to 2 prior lines of systemic treatment (most recent line of therapy must be palbociclib and AI or fulvestrant for Phase 1b and palbociclib or ribociclib and AI or fulvestrant for Phase 2) in the locally advanced or metastatic setting is allowed; the participant must have shown evidence of progressive disease on palbociclib and AI or fulvestrant for Phase 1b and palbociclib or ribociclib and AI or fulvestrant for Phase 2 in the locally advanced or metastatic setting prior to enrollment.

8. Willing to provide a representative fresh tumor tissue specimen prior to enrollment. The fresh tumor specimen must be obtained after evidence of progression on palbociclib and AI or fulvestrant for Phase 1b and palbociclib or ribociclib and AI or fulvestrant for Phase 2.

   • Participants with bone only disease WITHOUT a soft tissue component, may opt out of the tumor biopsy.

9. The presence of measurable disease as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 is preferred but not required. Lesions in a previously irradiated area that have not progressed are not considered measurable.

2. Had prior exposure to any signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitor.
3. Had radiotherapy within 3 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 (cycle is 28 days). Participants must have recovered from radiotherapy toxicities prior to starting study treatment and recovered to Grade 1 or better from related side effects of such therapy (with the exception of alopecia).
4. Has HER2 overexpression by local laboratory testing (immunohistochemical [IHC] 3+ or in situ hybridization positive).
5. Has known loss of retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene (Rb) (testing not mandatory).
6. Has had disease progression on more than two cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4/6 inhibitors. Adjuvant abemaciclib is allowed but must have progressed on palbociclib or ribociclib.
