Trial Information

A Phase 2/3, Multi-center, Open-label, Randomized Study of Weekly Nab-paclitaxel in Combination With Gemcitabine or Carboplatin, Compared to the Combination of Gemcitabine and Carboplatin, as First-line Treatment in Female Subjects With ER, PgR, and HER2 Negative (Triple Negative) Metastatic Breast Cancer


ABI-007-MBC- 001 is a Phase 2/3, multicenter, open-label, randomized, study that will
compare the safety and efficacy of weekly nab-paclitaxel in combination with gemcitabine or
carboplatin to the combination of gemcitabine and carboplatin as first- line therapy in
female subjects with Estrogen Receptor (ER), Progesterone Receptor (PgR), and human
epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative (triple negative) metastatic breast
cancer. In the phase 2 portion of the study, the combinations of nab-paclitaxel plus
gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin will be evaluated, and a comparator arm of
gemcitabine combined with carboplatin will be used. In the phase 3 portion of the study, the
selected nab-paclitaxel combination treatment will be compared to gemcitabine combined with
carboplatin to evaluate progression free survival, safety and tolerability, overall
survival, disease control rate and duration of response.


Inclusion Criteria:

Pathologically confirmed metastatic adenocarcinoma of the breast

a. Paraffin fixed primary or metastatic site tumor sample (most recently obtained) is
required for central laboratory biomarker evaluation 3. Pathologically confirmed as
triple negative, source documented, defined as both of the following

a. Estrogen Receptor (ER) and Progesterone Receptor (PgR) negative: < 1% of tumor
cell nuclei are immunoreactive in the presence of evidence that the sample can
express ER or PgR (positive intrinsic controls) (Hammond, 2010) b. Human Epidermal
Growth Factor Receptor 2(HER2) negative (Wolff, 2007): i. Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(FISH), (FISH HER2/CEP17 ratio < 1.8), or iii. Average HER2 gene copy number of < 4
signals/nucleus for test systems without and internal control probe 4. Subjects must
have received prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant anthracycline therapy; or anthracycline
treatment must be clinically contraindicated.

5. Subjects with measurable disease, defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid
Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) guidelines 6. No prior cytotoxic chemotherapy for metastatic
breast cancer. Prior immunotherapy and/or monoclonal antibody therapy are acceptable.

treatment and all related toxicities must have resolved to Grade 1 or less.

7. Prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy, if given, must have been completed at
least 30 days before start of study treatment with all related toxicities resolved,
and documented evidence of disease progression per RECIST 1.1 guidelines is required
8. Prior radiotherapy must have completed at least 2 weeks before randomization, with
full recovery. The measurable disease (target lesions) must be completely outside the
radiation portal or there must be unequivocal radiologic or clinical exam proof of
progressive disease within the radiation portal 9. At least 30 days from major
surgery before the start of study treatment, with full recovery 10. Eastern
Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1 11. Subject has the
following blood counts at screening:

- Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm2 ;

- platelets ≥ 100,000/mm2 ;

at screening:

- aspartate aminotransferase (AST) Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT),
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT ) Serum Glutamic Pyruvate Transaminase (SGPT) ≤
2.5 x upper limit of normal range (ULN); if hepatic metastases present ≤ 5.0 x
ULN

- total bilirubin ≤ ULN (subjects with Gilbert's syndrome can have bilirubin of up
to 1.5 x ULN)

- alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x ULN (unless bone metastases are present in the
absence of liver metastasis)

- creatinine clearance > 60 mL/min (by Cockroft-Gault) 13. Females of
child-bearing potential [defined as a sexually mature women who (1) have not
undergone hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus) or bilateral
oophorectomy (the surgical removal of both ovaries) or (2) have not been
naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had
menses at any time during the preceding 24 consecutive months)] must:

- Agree to the use of two physician-approved contraceptive methods (oral,
injectable, or implantable hormonal contraceptive; tubal ligation; intra-uterine
device; barrier contraceptive with spermicide; or vasectomized partner) while on
study medication; and for 28 days following the last dose of study medication;
and

- Negative serum pregnancy test result at screening (performed by central lab)

Exclusion Criteria:

- A subject will not be eligible for inclusion in this study if any of the following
criteria apply:

1. Male subjects with breast cancer.
