A Phase I/IB Study of Ipatasertib in Combination With Carboplatin or Carboplatin/Paclitaxel in Patients With Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer

This phase I/II trial studies best dose of ipatasertib and how well it works with carboplatin
with or without paclitaxel in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that has
spread to other places in the body. Ipatasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by
blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as
carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either
by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It
is not yet known whether giving ipatasertib and carboplatin with or without paclitaxel will
work better in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the recommended phase II dose of ipatasertib plus either carboplatin or
carboplatin/paclitaxel in patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).
(Phase I) II. To obtain initial evidence of activity by examining progression free survival
for each dose regimen. (Phase IB)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To confirm the recommended phase II dose (RPIID) safety in expanded cohort by evaluating
toxicities and confirm tolerability of the combinations.

II. To obtain evidence of activity by examining response rate based on Response Evaluation
Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.

III. To evaluate clinical benefit rate (CBR), event-free survival, time-to-treatment failure
and overall survival.

IV. Further describe the cumulative toxicities (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse
Events [CTCAE] 5.0) of the combinations.

V. To evaluate patient's quality of life (QOL).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the progression-free survival and overall survival, based on the genomic
alterations including PIK3CA/AKT/PTEN alterations and BRCA status.

II. To study the association of TNBC messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression profiling
including Vanderbilt molecular subtype and treatment response.

III. To study the association of stool microbiome, calprotectin with diarrhea. IV. To study
peripheral blood circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). V. To study therapy
resistance by analyzing tumor genomics and transcriptome analysis.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation trial of ipatasertib, followed by a phase II
trial. Patients are randomized or assigned to 1 of 2 treatment schedules depending on
available slots.

SCHEDULE A: Patients receive ipatasertib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Patients
also receive carboplatin intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes and paclitaxel IV over 60 minutes
on days 1, 8, and 15 or days 1 and 15. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

SCHEDULE B: Patients receive ipatasertib PO QD on days 1-28. Patients also receive
carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 or days 1 and 15. Cycles repeat every 28
days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 36 months.
