Brief Summary
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of palbociclib plus fulvestrant after failure of a combined treatment of hormonal therapy (aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen ± LHRHa) plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor, in women with HR+ and HER2- LABC or MBC. Primary endpoint:
- For patients with measurable disease at baseline, progression will be determined according to the RECIST criteria v1.1.
- In the absence of measurable disease at baseline, patients with bone only lesions, lytic or mixed (lytic + sclerotic), will be allowed to enter the study and the following will be considered disease progression among these patients:
- The appearance of one or more new lytic lesions in bone,
- The appearance of one or more new lesions outside of bone,
- Unequivocal progression of existing bone lesions. Note: Pathologic fracture, new compression fracture, or complications of bone metastases will not be considered as evidence of disease progression, unless one of the above-mentioned criteria is fulfilled.
- To assess the Quality of Life (QoL) of patients receiving the combination treatment palbociclib plus fulvestrant at progression of a combined treatment of hormonal therapy (aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen ± LHRHa) and a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
- To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of fulvestrant plus palbociclib at the progression of a combined treatment of hormonal therapy (aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen ± LHRHa) and CDK4/6 inhibitors with respect to:
- Overall response rate (ORR)
- Progression Free Survival (PFS)
- Overall Survival (OS)
- Safety and tolerability
- To assess predictive biomarkers of response/resistance to fulvestrant plus palbociclib using metastatic tumor tissue samples and liquid biopsies.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Clinical Benefit Response (CBR)
To assess the clinical benefit rate (CBR) of the treatment, the Clinical Benefit Response (CBR) is defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) \>24 weeks according to the RECIST version 1.1 recorded in the time period between enrollment and disease progression or death of any cause. CBR with the corresponding 95% Confidence Interval (95% C.I.) will be estimated using the exact binomial method. A Simon optimal two-stage design will be used to exclude a clinical benefit rate (CBR) of 30% (p0 = 0.30) with a clinical relevant target of 40% (p1 = 0.40) using a one-sided alpha-level of 0.05 and a power of 0.80. Fifty-nine (59) subjects will be enrolled in the first phase. If nineteen (19) of fewer CR+PR+SD will be observed, the study will be terminated. Otherwise the treatment will be considered worthy of further investigation and 109 more subjects will be enrolled for a total sample size of 168 subjects.

Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO)
Breast cancer-specific quality of life total scale scores and single item scale scores will be summarized by descriptive summary tables at baseline and over time. The mean changes from baseline will also be summarized using descriptive statistics. Longitudinal trajectories of total scale scores will be modelled using linear mixed models with random intercept to account for subject specific baseline assessment; time will be modeled continuously using days since baseline; potential non linear trend will be examined by adding quadratic terms to the model. Selection of the best model will be based on Akaike Information Criterion (AIC).

Study Arms (1)
single-arm study following a Simon's two-stage optimal design
EXPERIMENTALSingle-arm study with the primary objective of assessing the efficacy and safety of palbociclib in combination with fulvestrant (Faslodex) in women with HR+, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, regardless of their menopausal status, whose disease has progressed after prior treatment with AI plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Interventions
Patients will be enrolled into the study and assign to receive Palbociclib 125 mg/day orally for 3 weeks followed by 1 week off plus fulvestrant 500 mg intramuscularly on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1, every 28 days (+/- 7 days) thereafter starting from Day 1 of Cycle 1
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Adult (≥ 18 years of age) pre or post-menopausal women with LABC or MBC not amenable to curative treatment by surgery or radiotherapy, progressing to a CDK4/6 inhibitor in combination with aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen in the adjuvant or metastatic setting. To be enrolled in the present trial patients must have relapsed at least after 12 months from the last CDK4/6 dosage in the adjuvant setting or at progression from a first line combined hormonal treatment for metastatic disease with a CDK4/6 inhibitor plus AI or Tam with duration of, at least, 6 months. For metastatic disease, patients must have achieved, at least a stable disease while the first line hormonal treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor plus AI or Tam to be enrolled in the trial.
- Patients receiving up to one line of chemotherapy before the first line hormonal treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor for metastatic disease may be enrolled in the study.
- Histological confirmation of ER and/or PgR ≥ 1% and HER2 negative breast cancer (IHC status 0, 1+, 2+ and FISH not amplified).
- Premenopausal women: in order to be eligible must have achieved surgical menopause with bilateral oophorectomy or ovarian radiation or medical menopause by treatment with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist (LHRHa) for induction of ovarian suppression.
- Radiological or objective evidence of recurrence or progression on or after the last systemic therapy prior to enrollment.
- Patients who received ≤ 28 days of fulvestrant for second line advanced breast cancer treatment prior to study enrollment are eligible.
- Patients must have:
