A Phase I Study of Rucaparib Administered Concurrently With Postoperative Radiotherapy in Patients With Triple Negative Breast Cancer With an Incomplete Pathologic Response Following Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Dec 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a study drug called Rucaparib, administered in combination with the type of radiation therapy that is usually given to women with your form of breast cancer.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Gross residual tumor on imaging or positive margins after breast conserving surgery that are un-excised, as radiation dose in the study will be limited to 60 Gy.
  • Receipt of PARP inhibitor prior to RT.
  • Prior history of radiation therapy to the ipsilateral breast and/or regional nodes is not allowed (prior RT to other sites is permitted).
  • Patients with breast augmentation implants are excluded.
  • Concomitant anti-neoplastic treatment is not allowed during protocol treatment and should be completed at least 2 weeks prior to commencement of protocol treatment, with resolution of associated acute toxicities. Bisphosphonates are permitted without restriction even during protocol treatment. Maintenance pembrolizumab is permitted during the protocol treatment.
  • Ongoing therapy with other investigational agents. Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Unresolved toxicity from other agents. Patients with unresolved CTCAE v4.03 Grade 3 or greater toxicity from prior administration of another investigational drug and/or anti-cancer treatment are not eligible.

Other illness

  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to rucaparib.
  • Significant comorbidity: Patients with clinically significant and uncontrolled major disease or disorder that could exacerbate potential toxicities, confound safety assessments, require excluded therapy for management, or limit study compliance.

Other

  • Complete pathologic response to NAC.
  • Pregnant or expecting to conceive within the projected duration of the trial, starting with screening visit through 180 days after the last dose of trial treatment.

Who the study is looking for

  • Female, ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Non-metastatic, histologically or cytologically-confirmed TNBC (defined as ER \<1%, PR \<1%, her-2-neu 0-1+ by IHC or FISH-negative or as per MD discretion), with evidence of residual disease in the breast or lymph nodes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, at the time of definitive surgical treatment.
  • Non-metastatic, histologically or cytologically-confirmed hormone-receptor positive, Her2/neu negative breast cancer (defined as ER \>1% or PR \>1% AND Her-2/neu 0-1+ by IHC or FISH-negative, or as per MD discretion), with evidence of residual grade 3 invasive breast cancer AND either 1) \>5 cm of residual disease in the breast OR 2) ≥ 4 axillary LNs in the axilla after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, at the time of definitive surgical treatment.
  • Definitive surgical treatment with breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy and axillary lymph node evaluation.
  • At least 6-month life expectancy, ECOG Performance status \< 2.
  • Willingness to discontinue any cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, and biologic therapy at least 2 weeks prior to the start of RT.
  • Adequate organ function (assessed within 30 days prior to initiation of protocol treatment, unless otherwise indicated) as follows:
    • Hematology
  • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥1500/mm\^3
  • Platelet Count ≥100,000/mm\^3
  • Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL (after transfusion if required) Renal Function
  • Creatinine Serum ≤ 1.5 mg/dL or Creatinine Clearance ≥ 45 mL/min\^a Hepatic Function
  • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL
  • Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN\^b
  • Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN ULN = upper normal limit of institution's normal range
    • If calculated creatinine clearance is \< 45mL/min, a 24-hour urine collection for creatinine clearance may be performed
    • Subjects with documented Gilbert's disease may have bilirubin up to 2.5 mg/dL
    • Negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days prior to study treatment if a woman has child-bearing potential. Subjects of child bearing potential are those who have not been surgically sterilized or have not been free from menses for \> 1 year.
    • Ability to swallow and retain oral medications.
    • Written informed consent obtained from subject and ability for subject to comply with the requirements of the study.
    • Female subjects of childbearing potential should be willing to use 2 methods of birth control or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant while participating on study, she should inform the treating physician immediately.
