Olaparib and Onalespib in Treating Patients With Solid Tumors That Are Metastatic or Cannot Be Removed by Surgery or Recurrent Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, Primary Peritoneal, or Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Purpose

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of olaparib and onalespib when given together in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, or triple-negative breast cancer that has come back (recurrent). Olaparib and onalespib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Inclusion Criteria

  • For the dose escalation cohort, patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed malignancy that is metastatic or unresectable and for which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer effective - For the dose escalation cohort, patients may have received any number of prior therapies - For the dose expansion cohort, participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of either: - Ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer of high grade serous histology which has recurred despite standard therapy; up to 3 prior lines in the platinum resistant setting (i.e. up to 3 lines after patients have become platinum resistant); patients may have received unlimited lines while platinum sensitive - Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) which has recurred despite standard therapy; recurrent TNBC needs to have metastatic disease and patients with an in breast recurrence are not eligible; up to 4 prior lines in the recurrent setting for patients with triple-negative breast cancer are allowed - For the dose expansion cohort, patients with ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer must have platinum resistant disease defined as progression within 6 months after last platinum regimen; platinum refractory disease is allowed - For the dose expansion cohort, patients with triple-negative breast cancer may not be BRCA1/2 germline mutation carriers - Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of olaparib in combination with AT13387 in patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but will be eligible for future pediatric trials. - There must be availability of a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor specimen - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1 (Karnofsky > 60%) - Life expectancy of greater than 12 weeks - Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL - Hemoglobin >= 10 g/dL with no blood transfusion in the past 28 days - Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL - Platelets >= 100,000/mcL - Total bilirubin within normal institutional limits - Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 3 x institutional upper limit of normal - Creatinine =< the institutional upper limit of normal OR creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal - Corrected QT using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) =< 450 ms - Any clinically significant electrolyte imbalance, particularly hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, should be corrected before treatment - Pre-study evaluation must include an ophthalmologic exam by an ophthalmologist (not optometrist) and should minimally include visual acuity testing, slit lamp examination, and funduscopic examination; follow up eye-exams will only be performed if subjects develop/report any visual impairment; visual impairment may include peripheral flashes (photopsia), blurred or double vision, floaters, color distortion and dimness, difficulties with light/dark accommodation, tunnel vision or other field defects, halos, apparent movement of stationary objects, and complex disturbances; follow up eye-exams will minimally include visual acuity testing, slit lamp examination, and funduscopic examination; additional testing will be based on symptoms, what is observed and ophthalmologist recommendations - For the expansion cohort only: measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 with at least one measurable target lesion - The effects of olaparib in combination with AT13387on the developing human fetus are unknown; for this reason and because olaparib and AT13387 are anti-neoplastic small molecule inhibitors, which are agents that are potentially teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 3 months after the last dose of study drugs; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately; men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of olaparib and/or AT13387 administration - Patients must be able to swallow tablets and have no significant impairment in gastrointestinal absorption - Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTDs) of olaparib and onalespib (AT13387) administered in combination in patients with advanced solid tumors. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To identify the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and other toxicities associated with olaparib and AT13387 administered in combination as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5.0. II. To determine the recommended phase 2 doses (RP2D) of the combination of olaparib and AT13387. III. To determine the plasma pharmacokinetics of olaparib and AT13387. IV. To document anti-tumor activity of the combination of olaparib and AT13387 as assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 and progression free survival (PFS). Although the clinical benefit of [this/these] drug(s) has not yet been established, the intent of offering this treatment is to provide a possible therapeutic benefit, and thus the patient will be carefully monitored for tumor response and symptom relief in addition to safety and tolerability. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients receive olaparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-7 (cycle 0). Beginning in cycle 1, patients receive olaparib PO BID on days 1-28 and onalespib intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and every 3 months for up to 2 years.
