Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) During First Cycle
DLTs were pre-specified toxicities occurring during Cycle 1 (28 days) and considered at least possibly related to study treatment, based on CTCAE criteria. Assessment of safety and tolerability to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). DLT defined as dose associated with \<33% of patients experiencing DLT (≤1 patient out of 6 DLT-evaluable patients).
First 28 days (Cycle 1)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR was defined as the proportion of patients achieving confirmed complete or partial response per RECIST v1.1; Phase 2 was not initiated, and no patients were enrolled.
Assessed every 8 weeks until disease progression, up to approximately 6 months
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Adverse Events (AEs)
From first dose until 30 days after last dose (up to 183 days)
Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
183 days
Evaluate the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Elacestrant as Well as Onapristone and Their Metabolites (Phase 1)
15 Days
Evaluate the Time of the Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Elacestrant as Well as Onapristone and Their Metabolites (Phase 1).
15 Days
Evaluate Duration of Response
From first documented CR/PR until progression or death, up to 183 days
- +2 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (1)
Elacestrant / Onapristone
EXPERIMENTALElacestrant and Onapristone combination
Interventions
Elacestrant 200mg, 300mg, or 400mg once daily oral dosing in cycles of 28 days.
Onapristone 40mg or 50mg twice daily oral dosing in cycles of 28 days.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Women or men aged ≥18 years, at the time of informed consent signature. Note: Pre- and peri-menopausal women must receive goserelin for at least one month prior to initiating trial therapy, during the trial, and for at least one month after end of trial therapy. Men must receive triptorelin for at least one month prior to initiating trial therapy, during the trial and for at least one month after end of trial therapy.
- Histopathologically or cytologically confirmed ER+, PgR+, HER2-, breast cancer, per local laboratory, as per the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines (Allison et al, 2020). Note: In the context of this trial, ER and PgR status will be considered positive if ≥10% of tumor cells demonstrate positive nuclear staining by immunohistochemistry.
- At least one measurable lesion as per RECIST version 1.1. Note: Patients with stable brain or subdural metastases are allowed if the patient has completed local therapy and has discontinued the use of corticosteroids for at least 4 weeks before starting treatment in this study. Any signs (e.g., radiologic) or symptoms of brain metastases must be stable for at least 4 weeks before starting study treatment.
- Prior therapy with an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant + a CDK4/6 inhibitor in the metastatic setting or in the adjuvant setting if within 12 months of last dose of adjuvant therapy. Note: Prior therapy with everolimus is allowed.
- ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
- Patient has adequate bone marrow and organ function, as defined by the following laboratory values:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 × 109/L,
- Platelets ≥100 × 109/L,
- Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL,
- Potassium, sodium, calcium (corrected for serum albumin), and magnesium CTCAE grade ≤1,
- Cockcroft-Gault-based creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min. Note: Creatinine clearance (male) = (\[140-age in years\] × weight in kg)/ (\[serum creatinine in mg/dL\] × 72) Creatinine clearance (female) = (0.85 × \[140-age in years\] × weight in kg)/ (\[serum creatinine in mg/dL\] × 72),
- Serum albumin ≥3.0 g/dL (≥30 g/L),
- In absence of liver metastases, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3.0 × ULN. If the patient has liver metastases, ALT and AST ≤5 × ULN,
- Total serum bilirubin \<1.5 × ULN except for patients with Gilbert's syndrome who may be included if the total serum bilirubin is ≤3.0 × ULN or direct bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN.
You may not qualify if:
- Active or newly diagnosed CNS metastases, including meningeal carcinomatosis.
- Breast cancer treatment-naïve patients in the metastatic setting.
- Prior therapy with elacestrant, onapristone, or chemotherapy in the metastatic setting.
- Patient has a concurrent malignancy or history of invasive malignancy within 3 years of enrollment, with the exception of basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix that has completed curative therapy.
- Uncontrolled significant active infections.
- Patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have undetectable viral load during screening.
- Patients known to be HIV+ are allowed as long as they have undetectable viral load at baseline.
- Major surgery within 4 weeks before starting trial therapy.
- Inability to take oral medication, or history of malabsorption syndrome or any other uncontrolled gastrointestinal condition.
- Females of childbearing potential who:
- Within 28 days before study entry, did not use a highly effective method of contraception.
- Do not agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the entire study period and for 28 days after trial therapy discontinuation.
- Males who do not agree to abstain from donating sperm, or to use a highly effective method of contraception, during the course of the treatment period and for 28 days thereafter.
- Known intolerance to either study drug or any of the excipients.
- Patient is currently receiving or received any of the following medications prior to first dose of trial therapy:
