Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
progression-free survival (PFS), double-blinded period
PFS is measured from the date of randomization until progression or death, whichever is first met
From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years
pharmacokinetic profiles of Chidamide, open-label period
The pharmacokinetic parameters include Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) , Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax), time to reach Cmax (Tmax), mean concentration at steady state (Css)
0,1,2,4,8,12,24,48,72 hours after the first dose of Chidamide on day 2 at induced stage (4 days in total); 0,1,2,4,8,12,24,48,72 hours post-dose on day 1 of cycle 1 at combination treatment stage
pharmacokinetic profiles of exemestane, open-label period
The pharmacokinetic parameters include Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) , Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax), time to reach Cmax (Tmax), mean concentration at steady state (Css)
0,1,2,4,8,12,24 hours after the first dose of exemestane on day 1 at induced stage (4 days in total); 0,1,2,4,8,12,24,48,72 hours post-dose on day 1 of cycle 1 at combination treatment stage
acetylation level of histone H3, open-label period
The acetylation level of histone H3 is assayed by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA).
pre-dose of Chidamide on day 2 at induced stage (4 days in total); pre-dose of Chidamide on day 1 of cycle 2 at combination treatment stage
Secondary Outcomes (5)
overall survival, double-blinded period
Time from randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 6 years
duration of response (DOR), double-blinded period
From the first date of response until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 3years
objective response rate (ORR), open-label period and double-blinded period
Response is assessed once every 6 weeks, assessed up to 3 years
clinical benefit rate (CBR), open-label period and double-blinded period
Response is assessed once every 6 weeks, assessed up to 3 years
PFS, open-label period
Time from the start of treatment to the earliest of documented disease progression, or death, assessed up to 3 years
Study Arms (3)
Chidamide + exemestane, open-label
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive 30 mg Chidamide per week and 25 mg exemestane QD. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Chidamide + exemestane, double-blinded
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive 30 mg Chidamide twice per week and 25 mg exemestane QD. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
placebo + exemestane, double-blinded
PLACEBO COMPARATORPatients receive placebo twice per week and 25 mg exemestane PO QD. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Interventions
30 mg, administered orally twice per week (BIW)
25 mg, PO daily
Administered orally twice per week (BIW)
