TACTIVE-K: Phase 1b/2 study of vepdegestrant, a proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) estrogen receptor (ER) degrader, in combination with PF-07220060, a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4 inhibitor, in ER+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)- advanced breast cancer.

TPS1131 Background: Vepdegestrant (ARV-471) is an investigational, orally administered PROTAC ER degrader. Initial results from a phase 1b cohort of a first-in-human phase 1/2 study (NCT04072952) showed that vepdegestrant, in combination with the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib, had robust clinical activity (clinical benefit rate CBR: 63.0%) in heavily pretreated patients (pts) with ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer. PF-07220060 is an investigational CDK4-selective inhibitor, which in contrast to CDK4/6 inhibitors, spares CDK6 blockade and demonstrates less neutropenia in in vivo models. A first-in-human phase 1/2a study (NCT04557449) demonstrated promising antitumor activity with PF-07220060 in pts with advanced solid tumors with a CBR of 52.4%. Preclinical tumor models have shown that vepdegestrant + PF-07220060 effectively suppresses tumor growth to a greater extent than either agent alone. This open-label, multicenter phase 1b/2 study (NCT06206837) will evaluate the combination of vepdegestrant + PF-07220060 in pts ≥18 y with confirmed ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer. Methods: The phase 1b portion will use an escalation/de-escalation approach to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of vepdegestrant and PF-07220060. The phase 2 portion will further evaluate the preliminary antitumor activity, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of the combination at the RP2D. Pts (N≈65) will receive vepdegestrant orally once daily continuously and PF-07220060 orally twice daily continuously. The primary endpoint of the phase 1b portion is the number of pts with dose-limiting toxicities; secondary endpoints are antitumor activity (objective response rate ORR, duration of response DOR, CBR), progression-free survival (PFS), safety, and PK. The primary endpoint of the phase 2 portion is ORR; secondary endpoints are antitumor activity (DOR, CBR), PFS, safety, plasma concentrations of study drugs, and changes in circulating tumor DNA.
