Background: Despite progress in the treatment of brain metastasis for HER2+ breast cancer, outcomes for patients with HER2-negative breast cancer brain metastases remain poor. Current standard of care consists of local therapies, including surgery and radiotherapy, followed by systemic therapy. Preclinical studies show inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) are effective in combination with radiation therapy as a DNA damage response inhibitor. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has higher rates of homologous recombination deficiency compared to other breast cancer subtypes, and together with HER2-negative, BRCA-mutated breast cancer would be particularly sensitive to PARP inhibition. PARP inhibition has also demonstrated promising efficacy combined with immunotherapy in patients with germline BRCA-mutant and metastatic TNBC in clinical trials (MEDIOLA, TOPACIO). In addition, immunotherapy with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is associated with favorable intracranial control and survival in patients with brain metastases. We hypothesize that this biologically-driven combination will enhance local control of SRS-treated brain metastases through synergy with PARP inhibition, while controlling micrometastatic disease in the brain and extracranial sites via potentiation of the immune response. Methods: We are conducting a multi-institution, Phase I/II trial of SRS plus olaparib, followed by durvalumab (with physician’s choice systemic therapy), for patients with TNBC (any BRCA status) or HER2-negative with BRCA-mutated (germline or somatic) breast cancer brain metastases [NCT04711824]. A total of 41 patients are planned for enrollment at 8 sites. The primary objectives are to evaluate safety and tolerability (Phase I) and determine intracranial disease control at 6 months (Phase II) of this treatment combination. Secondary objectives include determining clinical activity via intracranial and global progression-free survival, overall survival, and intracranial and extracranial response rate. Exploratory objectives will assess potential biomarkers of treatment response, including changes in circulating tumor cells and DNA in blood and cerebrospinal fluid, germline and tumor mutations in DNA repair pathway genes, and PD-L1 expression, as well as quality of life and patient-reported outcomes. A surgical sub-study (n=5) will evaluate olaparib concentration/distribution in resected brain metastases. As of January 2023, cohort 1 of phase I has been completed without dose-limiting toxicity. Clinical trial information: NCT04711824.
