Phase 1b Study of Olaparib and Estradiol in Advanced ER+ Breast Cancer (PHOEBE)

NCT ID: NCT05900895Sponsor: Mary D ChamberlinLast updated: 2025-11-20

Summary

Determine the safety and recommended Phase II dose of olaparib in combination with 17b-estradiol in post-menopausal patients with advanced ER+/HER2- breast cancer.

Detailed description

Patients with endocrine-resistant ER+/HER2- breast cancer are eligible. Patients will be treated with the combination of 17b-estradiol and olaparib for 2 cycles, and then treated with single-agent 17b-estradiol until disease progression. Clinical benefit, progression-free survival, objective response, tumor metabolic response, and toxicity will be determined.

Arms & interventions

  • DrugOlaparib

    Participants will be treated with olaparib at the approved doses for the treatment of subtypes of breast cancer or at reduced dose/frequency for participants with moderate renal impairment.

  • Drug17b-estradiol

    17b-estradiol will be taken orally three times per day.
