Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to study of the molecular features of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) HER2-negative advanced breast cancer on first-line treatment with ribociclib and letrozole and, in patients with a PIK3CA mutation, on second-line treatment with alpelisib plus fulvestrant

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change from baseline ctDNA alterations to progression disease during Core and Extension Phase

  The percentage of patients with ctDNA alterations (i.e. such as but not limited to Rb, ESR1, cyclin D1, CDKN2A, PIK3CA, p53 and PTEN) will be provided over time to characterize the biological evolution of the disease in each patient. The association of these alterations with clinical outcomes will also be provided.

  Up to approximately 36 months starting from Baseline of the core phase and Up to approximately 9 months starting from Baseline of the extension phase

Secondary Outcomes (11)

• Change from baseline serum TK1 concentrations to progression disease during core phase

  Up to approximately 36 months starting from Baseline of the core phase

• The percentage of patients with ctDNA alterations will be provided over time in the subsets during Core and Extension Phase

  Up to approximately 36 months starting from Baseline of the core phase and Up to approximately 9 months starting from Baseline of the extension phase

• Change from baseline tumor mutational burden (TMB) to progression disease during Core and Extension Phase

  Up to approximately 36 months starting from Baseline of the core phase and Up to approximately 9 months starting from Baseline of the extension phase

• The percentage of patients with mutations as assessed at baseline of the Core and Extension phase across different patient profiles

  Screening Core Phase and Screening Extension Phase

• The percentage of patients with alterations detected through liquid biopsy vs. tissue biopsy during Core and Extension Phase

  Up to approximately 36 months starting from Baseline of the core phase and Up to approximately 9 months starting from Baseline of the extension phase

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Patient has an advanced (locoregionally recurrent or metastatic) breast cancer in first line treatment (treatment naïve for the advanced setting).
• Patient is in post-menopause, defined by one of the following:
• Prior bilateral oophorectomy
• Age ≥60
• Age \<60 and amenorrhea for 12 or more months (in the absence of chemotherapy, tamoxifen, toremifen, or ovarian suppression) and FSH and estradiol in the postmenopausal range per local normal range
• Patient has a histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of estrogenreceptor positive and/or progesterone receptor positive breast cancer by local laboratory.
• Patient has an HER2-negative breast cancer defined as a negative in situ hybridization test or an IHC status of 0, 1+ or 2+. If IHC is 2+, a negative in situ hybridization (FISH, CISH, or SISH) test is required by local laboratory testing.
• Patient is willing to undergo blood and tumor sample collection for the biological assessments/objectives as scheduled in the protocol.

You may not qualify if:

• Patient who received prior treatment with any CDK4/6 inhibitor.
• Patient who received any prior systemic hormonal therapy or chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer.
• Note:
• Patients who received neo/adjuvant therapy for breast cancer are eligible. If the prior neo/adjuvant therapy included letrozole or anastrozole, the disease-free interval must be greater than 12 months from the completion of treatment until study entry.
• Patient has been discontinued (any reason allowed) from treatment with ribociclib + letrozole in the core phase and is deemed suitable for treatment with alpelisib + fulvestrant in second line. Ribociclib + letrozole must be the last treatment regimen before alpelisib + fulvestrant.
• Patient has PIK3CA mutation as determined in tumor tissue and/or plasma by a Novartis designated laboratory. Results of tissue samples obtained during the core phase (screening or EOT) are acceptable
• Patient has received prior treatment with any PI3K inhibitors.
• Patient is concurrently using other anti-cancer therapy. Ribociclib and letrozole used in the core phase must be discontinued at least 7 days prior to day one of the extension study treatment.
• All drugs with overlapping toxicities must be discontinued within 7 days and AE resolved to NCI CTCAE v4.03 Grade ≤1 prior to study treatment. Exception to this criterion: patients with any grade of alopecia are allowed to enter the study.
