Study Assessing QBS72S For Treating Brain Metastases (NCT05305365)

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

1. The participant must be 18 years or older
2. The participant must have a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of 60 or above.
3. One of the following:
4. Cohorts 1 and 2: The participant must have a histologically-confirmed breast cancer primary tumor, either confirmed via primary specimen or via metastasis site, having developed brain metastases (parenchymal or LMD) after a prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen.
5. Cohort 3: The participant must have a histologically cancerous primary tumor, either confirmed via primary specimen or via metastasis site, having developed brain metastases (parenchymal or LMD) after a prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen. There is no restriction on prior cycles of systemic therapy for any primary cancer type. Breast cancer is not excluded from Cohort 3.
6. One of the following:
7. Cohort 1: A participant with breast cancer brain parenchymal tumors must have at least one nonirradiated tumor ≥ 3 mm2 that can be seen on 2 or more separate acquired brain MRI sequences.
8. Cohort 2: A participant with breast cancer primary and LMD must receive either: i. a brain MRI with contrast that supports the presence of LMD, or ii. a CSF cytology test that is either positive for or suspicious for malignancy. The presence of parenchymal brain metastases does not exclude these participants from Cohort 2. a. Cohort 3: A participant with LMD from any primary cancer site must receive either: i. a brain MRI with contrast that supports the presence of LMD, or ii. a CSF cytology test that is either positive for or suspicious for malignancy. The presence of parenchymal brain metastases does not exclude these participants from Cohort 3.
9. For corticosteroids and anticonvulsants, the participant must either: c. not be taking any, or d. be taking stable or decreasing doses for ≥5 days prior to obtaining the screening Gd-MRI of the brain. The maximum allowable dose of corticosteroids is 8mg of dexamethasone per day, or the equivalent of another medication as assessed by a Neuro-Oncologist. Escalation of corticosteroids is not allowed ≤14 days prior to C1D1.
10. The participant must have completed washout from prior therapy before C1D1, as applicable: e. ≥7 days for Ommaya placement (Cohorts 2+3) f. ≥14 days for small molecules and non-cytotoxic systemic drugs e.g., PARP inhibitors g. ≥21 days for checkpoint inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, e.g., atezolizumab, pembrolizumab, and bevacizumab, and cytotoxic chemotherapy h. ≥28 days for investigational drugs, radiotherapy, and major surgery. Minor procedures such as tumor biopsy are allowed with written approval from the PI i. ≥1 dosing cycle for other interventions All significant toxicities from previous anticancer therapy must have stabilized to a new baseline or have resolved. Participation in long term follow up in another clinical trial is allowed if no procedures will be performed which may interfere with the interpretation of study results.
11. The participant must have adequate bone marrow function, including: j. ANC ≥ 1,500/mm3 or ≥ 1.5 x 109/L k. Platelets ≥ 100,000/ mm3 or ≥ 100 x 109/L l. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
12. The participant must have adequate renal function, including serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min. In equivocal cases, a 24-hour urine collection test can be used to estimate the creatinine clearance more accurately.
