Summary

This trial will test if an investigational drug can safely and effectively treat a certain type of breast cancer.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for postmenopausal women with AR(+) metastatic breast cancer who haven't been treated with bicalutamide or CDK4/6 inhibitors. Participants must have adequate organ function, not be pregnant, and agree to use contraception. They should have recovered from previous treatments and cannot have active severe illnesses or a history of certain heart conditions.

What is being tested?

The study tests the combination of palbociclib (an investigational drug) and bicalutamide in treating triple negative, AR(+) metastatic breast cancer. It aims to determine the safety and effectiveness of this treatment regimen.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include fatigue, nausea, blood count changes, potential liver issues, diarrhea, hair loss that doesn't return to normal after prior therapy (alopecia), and other symptoms related to impacting hormone levels.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Palbociclib in Combination with BicalutamideExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

This is a non-randomized, open-label, phase I/II trial for patients with AR(+) MBC . There will be a dose finding phase I portion of the study to establish the recommended phase II dose (R2PD). This will be followed by a phase II where efficacy is evaluated. Patients with AR(+)ER(-) breast cancer treated on the phase I at the recommended phase II dose will be counted towards the primary endpoint analysis for the phase II study.
