Patients are not eligible to participate if they meet any of the following criteria:
- Participants with known symptomatic brain metastases requiring steroids. Participants with previously diagnosed brain metastases are eligible if they have completed their treatment and have recovered from the acute effects of radiation therapy or surgery prior to randomization, have discontinued corticosteroid treatment for these metastases for at least 3 weeks and are neurologically stable for 2 months (requires MRI confirmation).
- Participants with advanced/metastatic, symptomatic, visceral spread, that are at risk of life-threatening complications in the short term (including participants with massive uncontrolled effusions [pleural, pericardial, peritoneal], pulmonary lymphangitis, and over 50% liver involvement). Note: Participants with indwelling catheter for drainage, or requirement for drainage no more frequently than once a month will be allowed.
- Participants with any other active malignancy within 3 years prior to enrollment, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or carcinoma in situ. Other indolent cancers that do not interfere with assessment of primary cancer under study may be allowed with prior sponsor approval.
- Major surgery within 3 weeks prior to randomization.
- Radiation therapy within 3 weeks prior to randomization.
- Systemic anti-cancer therapy within 3 weeks prior to randomization. If the last immediate anti-cancer treatment contained an antibody-based agent(s) (approved or investigational), then an interval of 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of the agent(s) prior to receive the study intervention treatment is required.
- Prior irradiation to >25% of the bone marrow.
- Participants with active, uncontrolled bacterial, fungal, or viral infection, including (but not limited to) HBV, HCV, known HIV or AIDS related illness. HIV seropositive subjects who are healthy and low risk for AIDS-related outcomes could be considered eligible.
Eligibility criteria for HIV-positive subjects should be evaluated and discussed with sponsor's medical monitor and will be based on current and past CD4 and T-cell counts, history (if any) of AIDS-defining conditions (eg, opportunistic infections), and status of HIV treatment. Also, the potential for drug-drug interactions will be taken into consideration. In equivocal cases, with positive serology, those participants with a negative viral load are potentially eligible provided the other entry criteria are met.
- Unmanageable ascites (limited medical treatment to control ascites is permitted, but all participants with ascites require review by sponsor's medical monitor).
- Baseline 12 -lead ECG that demonstrates clinically relevant abnormalities that may affect participant safety or interpretation of study results (eg, baseline QTc interval >470 msec, complete LBBB, signs of an acute myocardial infarction, ST changes suggestive of active myocardial ischemia, second- or third- degree AV block, or serious bradyarrhythmias or tachyarrhythmias). If the baseline uncorrected QT interval is >470 msec, this interval should be rate corrected using the Fridericia method and the resulting QTcF- should be used for decision making and reporting. If QTcF exceeds 470 msec, or QRS exceeds 120 msec, the ECG should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 QTcF or QRS values should be used to determine the participant's eligibility. Computer -interpreted ECGs should be overread by a physician experienced in reading ECGs before excluding participants. Cases must be discussed in detail with sponsor's medical monitor to judge eligibility.
- Any of the following in the previous 6 months: myocardial infarction, long QT syndrome, Torsade de Pointes, clinically important atrial or ventricular arrhythmias (including sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia and ventricular fibrillation), serious conduction system abnormalities (eg, bifascicular block [defined as right bundle branch and left anterior or posterior hemiblock], 3rd degree AV block), unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, symptomatic CHF, New York Heart Association class III or IV, cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, symptomatic pulmonary embolism, and/or other clinical significant episode of thrombo embolic disease and ongoing cardiac dysrhythmias of NCI CTCAE ≥Grade 2. For Grade 2 atrial fibrillation, may be considered eligible with sponsor approval (e.g if improved to Grade 1 with non-urgent medical intervention or chronic Grade 2 atrial fibrillation with good rate control with non-urgent medical intervention). If a participant has a cardiac rhythm device/pacemaker placed and QTcF >470 msec, the participant can be considered eligible. Participants with cardiac rhythm device/pacemaker must be discussed in detail with sponsor's medical monitor to judge eligibility.
- Therapeutic anticoagulation.
- Hypertension that cannot be controlled by optimal medical therapy (eg, ≥160/100 mmHg).
- Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) within 3 weeks prior to study entry. Participation in observational or in long term follow-up of other studies is allowed if no procedures which may interfere with the interpretation of study results will be performed.
- Known or suspected hypersensitivity or severe allergy to active ingredient/excipients of study drug(s) such as lactose.
- Prior treatment with prifetrastat. Note that prior treatment with fulvestrant is permitted.
- Active inflammatory GI disease, refractory and unresolved chronic diarrhea or previous gastric resection, lap band surgery or other GI conditions and surgeries that may significantly alter the absorption of prifetrastat. Gastroesophageal reflux disease under treatment is allowed.
- Current use or anticipated need for food or drugs that are known moderate or strong CYP3A4/5 inhibitors, including their administration within 10 days or 5 half-lives of the CYP3A4/5 inhibitor, whichever is longer prior to first dose of study intervention (see Appendix 8 for a list of exemplary strong/moderate CYP3A4/5 inhibitors).
- Current use or anticipated need for food or drugs that are known strong CYP3A4/5 inducers, including their administration within 10 days or 5 half-lives of the CYP3A4/5 inducer, whichever is longer prior to the first dose of study intervention (see Appendix 8 for a list of exemplary strong/moderate CYP3A4/5 inducers).
- Current use or anticipated need for food or drugs that are known moderate/strong CYP2C9 inhibitors, including their administration within [10 days or 5 half-lives of the CYP2C9 inhibitor, whichever is longer] prior to first dose of investigational product (amiodarone, fluconazole, miconazole, oxandrolone) (see Appendix 8 for a list of exemplary strong/moderate CYP2C9 inhibitors).
- Current use or anticipated need for drugs that are known moderate/strong CYP2C9 inducers, including their administration within [10 days or 5 half-lives of the CYP2C9 inducer, whichever is longer] prior to the first dose of investigational product (carbamazepine, rifampin) (see Appendix 8 for a list of exemplary strong/moderate CY2C9 inducers).
- Patient is currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.
- Other medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator's judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study.
- Patient unwilling or unable to comply with the medical follow-up required by the trial because of geographic, familial, social, or psychological reasons.
- Person deprived of their liberty or under protective custody or guardianship.
