Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Phase I: Incidence and severity of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)
42 days after the first administration of [177Lu]Lu-NeoB

A DLT is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness/injury, or concomitant medications that occurs within the DLT period from C1D1 of treatment with \[177Lu\]Lu-NeoB and capecitabine. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE version 5.0 will be used for all grading.

Phase I: Incidence and severity of adverse events and serious adverse events for 177-Lu-NeoB in combination with capecitabine
From start of study treatment until 56 days after the last dose of study treatment, assessed up to approximately 33 months

The distribution of adverse events for 177-Lu-NeoB in combination with capecitabine will be done via the analysis of frequencies for Adverse Event (AEs) and Serious Adverse Event (SAEs) through the monitoring of relevant clinical and laboratory safety parameters.

Phase I: Dose modifications for [177Lu]Lu-NeoB in combination with capecitabine
From start of study treatment until the last dose of study treatment, assessed up to approximately 31 months

Dose modifications (dose interruptions, dose discontinuations and reductions) for \[177Lu\]Lu-NeoB in combination with capecitabine will be assessed and summarized using descriptive statistics.

Phase II: Objective Response Rate (ORR)
From date of randomization until date of progression, death or further antineoplastic therapy, whichever comes first, assessed up to approximately 88 months

Objective Response Rate (ORR) with confirmed response is defined as the proportion of participants with Best Overall Response (BOR) of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), as per local review and according to RECIST 1.1.

Phase II: Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)
From date of randomization until date of progression, death or further antineoplastic therapy, whichever comes first, assessed up to approximately 88 months

Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) with confirmed response is defined as the proportion of participants with Best Overall Response (BOR) of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), or maintaining an overall response of Stable Disease (SD) for at least 24 weeks. CR, PR, and SD are defined as per local review according to RECIST 1.1.

Phase II: Time to Response (TTR)
From date of randomization until first documented evidence of CR or PR (the response prior to confirmation), assessed up to approximately 88 months

Time to response is the time from the date of randomization to the first documented response (Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), which must be confirmed subsequently) as per local review and according to RECIST 1.1.

Phase II: Duration of Response (DoR)
From first documented evidence of CR or PR (the response prior to confirmation) until time of documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to approximately 88 months

Duration of Overall Response (DoR) applies only to participants whose best overall response is confirmed CR or confirmed PR according to RECIST 1.1. The start date is the date of first documented confirmed response (CR or PR) and the end date is the date defined as first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer.

Phase II: Progression Free Survival (PFS)
From the date of first dose to the date of confirmed progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to approximately 88 months

Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of first dose of \[177Lu\]Lu-NeoB to the date of confirmed progression or death due to any cause. PFS will be assessed via local review according to RECIST 1.1.

Phase II: Overall Survival (OS)
From the date of first dose until date of death from any cause, assessed up to approximately 88 months

Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from date of first dose of \[177Lu\]Lu-NeoB to date of death due to any cause.

Incidence and nature of DLTs during the DLT observation period
28 days after the first administration of [177Lu]Lu-NeoB

A DLT is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness/injury, or concomitant medications that occurs within the DLT period from C1D1 of treatment with \[177Lu\]Lu-NeoB, ribociclib and fulvestrant with or without goserelin. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE version 5.0 will be used for all grading.

Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)
From date of enrollment till 8 weeks after end of Treatment, assessed up to approximately 60 months

The distribution of adverse events will be done via the analysis of frequencies for treatment emergent Adverse Event (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Event (TESAEs) and Deaths due to AEs, through the monitoring of relevant clinical and laboratory safety parameters.

Incidence of dose interruptions, discontinuation and dose reductions
From date of enrollment till 8 weeks after end of Treatment, assessed up to approximately 60 months

Dose interruptions, discontinuation and dose reductions will be assessed for tolerability.

Frequently asked questions about Ga-NeoB

What is Ga-NeoB?

Ga-NeoB is an investigational small molecule radiopharmaceutical being developed by Novartis AG (ticker NVS) for breast cancer. It is in Phase 1 clinical development and is being studied in patients with GRPR-positive, ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It is not an approved therapy.

What is Ga-NeoB used for in breast cancer?

Ga-NeoB is being studied in breast cancer, specifically in patients with GRPR-positive, ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic disease. The trials enroll adults whose cancer has progressed after prior endocrine therapy combined with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. Ga-NeoB remains investigational and has not been approved for any use.

Who is developing Ga-NeoB?

Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker NVS, is the developer of Ga-NeoB. The company is running the clinical program for this investigational radiopharmaceutical in breast cancer, including studies that pair it with other agents such as capecitabine, ribociclib, and fulvestrant.

What phase is Ga-NeoB in?

Ga-NeoB is in Phase 1 clinical development. Two Phase 1 trials are listed, both currently active and not recruiting, with a combined enrollment of 48 patients. No trials have been completed, and Ga-NeoB has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulator.

What clinical trials is Ga-NeoB in?

Ga-NeoB is being evaluated in two Phase 1 trials. NCT06247995 studies it with capecitabine in GRPR-positive, ER-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer across the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, and Spain. NCT05870579 studies it with ribociclib and fulvestrant in ER-positive, HER2-negative, GRPR-positive advanced breast cancer.

Is Ga-NeoB the same as [68Ga]Ga-NeoB?

Yes, Ga-NeoB and [68Ga]Ga-NeoB refer to the same investigational agent. [68Ga]Ga-NeoB is an alternative name used for this Novartis radiopharmaceutical in its Phase 1 breast cancer program, so readers searching either name are looking at the same drug candidate.
