Study of IEV407 as Single Agent or in Combination in Patients With Advanced HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer
What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary activity of IEV407 as a single agent and in combination with endocrine therapy (fulvestrant or letrozole) in patients with advanced hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-negative) breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary activity of IEV407 as a single agent and in combination with endocrine therapy (fulvestrant or letrozole) in patients with advanced hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-negative) breast cancer.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
