NCT04318223

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.

    About 48 months

  • 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

EXPERIMENTAL

Single-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.

Drug: Palbociclib

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

  • Patients who received \> 1 line of a CDK4/6 inhibitor in combination with hormonal treatment for LABC or MBC or who have relapsed at less than 12 months from the end of adjuvant treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. For metastatic disease, patients with a progressive disease within the first 6 months of treatment while on first line therapy with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, will be excluded.
  • Patients receiving chemotherapy or any type of hormonal therapy after treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor for metastatic disease.
  • Patients interrupting the previous treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitor for cardiac and/or hepatic toxicity and not for disease progression.
