Targeting Aurora A Kinase to Overcome Treatment Resistance in Advanced HR+/HER2+ Breast Cancer: A Biomarker-Driven Pilot Clinical Trial
University of Wisconsin, Madison
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if alisertib in addition to usual care works to treat HR+/HER2+ breast cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does alisertib stop the communication between HR and HER2? * Are there genetic markers that predict how well someone's cancer will respond to alisertib? Participants will receive alisertib in addition to their usual care.
Description
This pilot clinical trial will evaluate alisertib in combination with standard of care endocrine therapy and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 (HER2)-targeted therapy in participants with Stage IV hormone receptor positive (HR+)/ HER2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer, utilizing our novel 3-gene biomarker signature for patient selection and response prediction
