What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for breast cancer, including monoclonal antibodies and chemotherapeutic agents, often have a range of side effects. Monoclonal antibodies like trastuzumab and pertuzumab can cause infusion reactions, cardiotoxicity, and fatigue. Chemotherapeutic agents such as paclitaxel and nab-paclitaxel, which are used in combination with monoclonal antibodies, can lead to neuropathy, myelosuppression, alopecia, and gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea and vomiting. Patients may also experience immunosuppression, increasing the risk of infections. It is important to monitor and manage these side effects in collaboration with healthcare providers.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of breast cancer, including trastuzumab (Herceptin), pertuzumab (Perjeta), and ado-trastuzumab emtansine (Kadcyla), which target the HER2 receptor. Additionally, immune checkpoint inhibitors like pembrolizumab (Keytruda) have been approved for certain types of breast cancer, particularly triple-negative breast cancer. These treatments, while not identical to Magrolimab, share a similar approach in utilizing the immune system to target and destroy cancer cells.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives to Magrolimab for breast cancer patients in 2024 include: 1) Sacituzumab Govitecan-hziy, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting Trop-2, which has shown efficacy in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. 2) Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1) and Atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1), which have been effective in certain subtypes of breast cancer. 3) PARP inhibitors like Olaparib and Talazoparib, particularly for patients with BRCA mutations. 4) CDK4/6 inhibitors such as Palbociclib, Ribociclib, and Abemaciclib, which are used in combination with hormone therapy for HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.

Summary

This trial is testing magrolimab combined with other cancer drugs in patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps the immune system fight the cancer and improves treatment outcomes.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer that can't be removed by surgery. Cohort 1 includes those who haven't been treated and are PD-L1 negative, while Cohort 2 includes those who've had up to two prior treatments and must have used a taxane. Participants need good performance status and organ function, measurable disease, no recent serious CNS issues or certain blood disorders.

What is being tested?

The study tests the safety and effectiveness of magrolimab combined with chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel/paclitaxel for untreated patients; sacituzumab govitecan-hziy for previously treated patients). It aims to determine the best doses and observe how well participants respond to these combinations in treating their breast cancer.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system such as fatigue, infusion-related symptoms, possible low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding tendencies. Organ-specific inflammation might occur due to immune activation.

Mechanism Of Action

Other Research

Breast cancer treatments work through various mechanisms to target and destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy uses cytotoxic drugs to kill rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells. Hormone therapy blocks hormones like estrogen that can promote the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Targeted therapies, such as HER2 inhibitors, specifically target proteins that are overexpressed in some breast cancers, thereby inhibiting cancer cell growth and survival. Magrolimab, an anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody, promotes the phagocytosis of cancer cells by blocking the 'don't eat me' signal that cancer cells use to evade the immune system. These treatments are crucial as they offer multiple avenues to attack cancer cells, improving the chances of successful treatment and reducing the likelihood of resistance.
