Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Clinical Benefit Rate
The clinical benefit rate (complete responses + partial responses + stable disease at 24 weeks) will be ascertained and compared between subjects treated with 17b-estradiol harboring amplified/mutant ESR1 and wild-type ESR1.
12 months
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Objective response rate
8 weeks
Progression-free survival
12 months
Tumor Metabolic response
12 months
Adverse event profiles
12 months
Study Arms (1)
Treatment Arm
OTHERTreatment Phase: Patients will be treated with 17b-estradiol until disease progression. At this point, the patient will end protocol therapy
Interventions
Estradiol is a therapeutic option for the treatment of advanced ER+ breast cancer
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Post-menopausal women with ER+ breast cancer.
- Metastatic or locoregional recurrence not amenable to treatment with curative
- intent.
- Received ≥1 prior line of endocrine-based therapy (e.g., including tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, fulvestrant, or combinations) in the advanced/metastatic setting
You may not qualify if:
- During the study Treatment Phase with 17b-estradiol, no concurrent anti-cancer therapies are allowed with the following exceptions:
- Exception: Trastuzumab is allowed for the treatment of subjects with a history of HER2+ disease, and will be used at the physician's discretion.
- Exception: Anti-resorptive bone therapies (e.g., bisphosphonates, denosumab) are permitted.
- Any investigational cancer therapy in the last 3 weeks.
- Known CNS disease, unless clinically stable for ≥ 3 months.
- History of any of the following:
- Deep venous thrombosis.
- Pulmonary embolism.
- Stroke.
- Acute myocardial infarction.
- Congestive heart failure.
- Previous malignancy not treated with curative intent, or with an estimated recurrence risk ≥30%.
