Triple Drug Combo

for Advanced Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the three-drug combination of tucatinib, trastuzumab, and eribulin in patients with de novo and recurrent unresectable metastatic HER-2/neu positive breast cancer as assessed by ORR, PFS and OS after prior treatment with a taxane, trastuzumab, and T-DM1.

FES Imaging + Tamoxifen

for Breast Cancer

Despite broad advancements in endocrine therapy for ERα+ breast cancer, resistance ultimately develops. A common driver of resistance are known ESR1 mutations that lead to constitutively active receptor signaling and transcriptional regulation that is always "turned on" despite the absence of estrogen. Patients with ESR1 mutations are expected to have decreased binding affinity for tamoxifen and thus may be underdosed on standard therapy. \[18F\]-fluoroestradiol Positron Emission Tomography/Computed tomography (FES-PET/CT) imaging is a novel functional imaging technique that can non-invasively measure ERα expression and inhibition in metastatic ERα+ breast cancer. The proposed a pilot study uses FES-PET/CT imaging to measure ERα blockade to determine the optimal dose of tamoxifen in patients with ESR1 mutations.

Paclitaxel

for Breast Cancer

The hypothesis of this study is that paclitaxel levels increase chromosomal instability (CIN) in tumors and this is lethal to tumors that have pre-existing CIN. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. Paclitaxel will be initiated as standard infusions on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 21-day cycle. Participants will continue with paclitaxel for cycles 2-4 prior to surgery.
