Plain-language summary
Leflunomide in patients with PTEN-Altered advanced solid tumors or HER2 negative breast cancer. Phase 1A objectives are to determine the safety, tolerability, and the MTD of leflunomide in patients with PTEN-Altered advanced solid malignancies and HER2 negative breast cancer. Phase 1B objective is to assess preliminary evidence of clinical activity of leflunomide in these patient populations.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age ≥ 18
* A) Advanced or metastatic solid tumor with lack of PTEN expression as determined by immunohistochemistry. Lack of PTEN expression is defined as the absence of staining in the tumor (\<5%), with strong positive staining of adjacent normal endometrium or stromal cells, using the monoclonal DAKO antibody 6H2.1.9 OR
* B) Advanced or metastatic solid tumor with a deleterious somatic mutation in PTEN as determined by tissue or ctDNA testing in a CLIA laboratory and classified as deleterious in the ClinVar or COSMIC databases OR
* C) Advanced or metastatic HER2 negative breast cancer. Patients must have received ≤ 3 prior cytotoxic chemotherapies for metastatic disease (immunotherapy does not count as a line of therapy), and up to 2 prior antibody drug conjugate regimens (eg, sacituzumab govitecan, trastuzumab deruxtecan). Patients with ER-positive breast cancer (ER\>10%) are eligible if they have had progressive disease after at least 1 prior CKD4/6 inhibitor. Patients must have received alpelisib or capivasertib if eligible for either therapy or must be intolerant to or have refused such therapy.
°Patients with known PTEN altered breast cancer may participate regardless of lines of prior therapy if they meet criteria A or B.
* Measurable disease only required for dose expansion in non-prostate ca patients
* Patients with prostate cancer without measurable disease must have evaluable disease as assessed by serum PSA.
* Patients must have progres…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
