BRE 17107: A Phase Ib/II Trial of Atezolizumab (an Anti-PD-L1 Monoclonal Antibody) With Cobimetinib (a MEK1/2 Inhibitor) or Idasanutlin (an MDM2 Antagonist) in Metastatic ER+ Breast Cancer

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of idasanutlin when given
together with atezolizumab, and to see how well atezolizumab and cobimetinib or idasanutlin
work in treating participants with stage IV estrogen-receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer,
or ER+ breast cancer that has come back (recurrent) and cannot be removed by surgery
(unresectable). Monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may interfere with the ability
of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cobimetinib and idasanutlin may stop the growth of tumor
cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving atezolizumab with
cobimetinib or atezolizumab with idasanutlin may work better in treating participants with
estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the safety and tolerability of atezolizumab and idasanutlin in patients with
estrogen receptor positive (ER+) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) (Phase I).

II. To determine the anti-tumor effect of atezolizumab and cobimetinib or idasanutlin in
patients with ER+ mBC (Phase II).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the anti-tumor duration of effect of atezolizumab and cobimetinib or
idasanutlin in patients with ER+ mBC (Phase II).

II. To determine the safety and tolerability of atezolizumab and cobimetinib or idasanutlin
in patients with ER+ mBC (Phase II).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate if CD8+ T cells are enhanced in the tumor with either MEK or MDM2 inhibition
(Phase II).

II. To evaluate if MHC-I/II and/or PD-L1 expression is enhanced with MEK inhibition (Phase
II).

III. To evaluate if T cell chemotractants (CCL5, CXCL9,10,11,13) are upregulated upon MDM2
antagonism (Phase II).

IV. To determine if baseline or changes in PDL1 expression, MHC expression, presence of tumor
infiltrating lymphocytes, neoantigen expression/ mutation burden (using ribonucleic acid
[RNA]-and whole exome sequencing), CCL5, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CXCL13 correlate with
clinical outcome (Phase II).

V. To determine if immunological activity of MEK inhibition can be tracked noninvasively
using Zr^89-atezolizumab (Phase II).

OUTLINE: This is a phase 1, dose-escalation study of idasanutlin followed by a phase II
study. Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Participants with TP53 gene mutation receive atezolizumab intravenously (IV) over 60
minutes starting with day 15 of course 1 and then on days 1 and 15 of subsequent courses, and
cobimetinib orally (PO) daily on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II: Participants without TP53 gene mutation receive atezolizumab IV over 60 minutes
starting with day 15 of course 1 and then on days 1 and 15 of subsequent courses, and
idasanutlin PO daily on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, participants are followed for 28 days.
