IEV407 as a single agent or with endocrine therapy for advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer
Official title: An Open-label, Multi-center, Phase I/Ib Study of IEV407 as a Single Agent and in Combination With Endocrine Therapy in Patients With Advanced Hormone Receptor Positive, HER2- Negative Breast Cancer
Run by Novartis · NCT07604571 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests IEV407 by itself and with fulvestrant or letrozole to see if it is safe and shows signs of activity in adults with advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer who have progressed on or been intolerant to prior endocrine therapy with CDK4/6 inhibition, and who meet expansion-cohort eligibility for fulvestrant combination as specified.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose cancer does not respond to IEV407 or who cannot tolerate the drug or the combination therapies may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a first-in-human, open-label, phase 1/1b trial conducted at multiple centers. It uses a dose-escalation approach to determine a safe dose of IEV407 as a single agent and in combination with endocrine therapies, followed by a potential expansion phase to further evaluate the combination with fulvestrant. Participants have advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer and have previously received endocrine therapy with CDK4/6 inhibition, with restrictions on prior chemotherapy in the expansion cohort. Randomization may occur during the dose-expansion phase if multiple arms are open. Interventions include IEV407, fulvestrant, and letrozole, with primary focus on safety and tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience disease stabilization or tumor shrinkage and contribute to determining a tolerable dose and regimen for future studies.
How similar studies have gone: As a first-in-human study of IEV407, prior similar early-phase trials in new oncology targets have shown safety signals and preliminary activity in other programs, but this exact agent has not yet demonstrated clinical benefit.
Who can join: the full rules
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years old * Patients with one of the following indications: * Dose escalation (IEV407 single agent and in combination with fulvestrant or letrozole): HR+/HER2- aBC with disease progression on or following, or have been intolerant to, at least one line of endocrine-based therapy in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and at least one additional line of systemic therapy in the unresectable/metastatic setting and not be a candidate for any available standard therapy, in the investigator's judgement. \- Dose expansion of IEV407 in combination with fulvestrant: HR+/HER2- aBC with disease progression on or following, or have been intolerant to, endocrine-based therapy in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. They must not have received more than two prior lines of endocrine-based therapy in the unresectable/metastatic setting. Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or antibody-drug conjugate therapies in the unresectable/metastatic setting are not allowed. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with inadequate bone marrow and/or organ functions with out-of-range laboratory values. * Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac disease. * Concurrent use of hormone replacement therapy. * Women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to use highly effective contraception methods, pregnant or nursing women. * For the combination treatment of IEV407 with fulvestrant or letrozole: Patients with symptomatic visceral disease or any disease burden that makes the patient ineligible for endocrine-based therapy. Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
