A Phase II Randomized Trial of the Combination of Ridaforolimus and Exemestane, Compared to Ridaforolimus, Dalotuzumab and Exemestane in High Proliferation, Estrogen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer Patients
Inclusion Criteria:
- Females with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer that is metastatic
or locally advanced (locally advanced tumors must not be amenable to surgery or
radiation therapy with curative intent) with the following pathological
characteristics determined locally: estrogen receptor positive and Human Epidermal
Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER-2) negative, and Ki67 (a tumor marker) ≥ 15% determined
by the central study laboratory
- Post-menopausal
- With advanced breast cancer whose disease was refractory to previous letrozole or
anastrozole
- Has at least one confirmed measurable metastatic lesion
- Has a performance status ≤ 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)
performance scale
- Has a life expectancy of at least 3 months
- Adequate organ function
Exclusion Criteria:
- Is receiving any other concurrent systemic tumor therapy, including hormonal agents
and HER-2 inhibitors
- Previously received rapamycin or rapamycin analogs, including ridaforolimus,
temsirolimus, or everolimus
- Received prior treatment with Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF-1R)
inhibitors, Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, or other experimental
agents that target PI3K, Protein Kinase B (AKT), or Mammalian Target of Rapamycin
(mTOR) pathway
- Is receiving chronic corticosteroids administered at doses greater than those used
for normal replacement therapy
- Has active brain metastasis or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis; patients with
adequately treated brain metastases are eligible if they meet certain criteria
- Known allergy to macrolide antibiotics
- Has an active infection requiring antibiotics
- Significant or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease
- Poorly controlled Type 1 or 2 diabetes
