ELEMENT

Brief Summary
Trial design: Phase II, prospective, multi-center, randomized, open label, parallel group study in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with gBRCA1/2 mutation, with 2:1 randomization into Arm A (olaparib + elacestrant) or arm B (olaparib). Treatment in either arm will be given until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of patient´s consent to study participation, or end of study. Trial population: Patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with gBRCA1/2 mutation, with an indication for standard-of-care PARP inhibitor therapy and planned treatment with olaparib, an ECOG performance status of 0-2 and life expectancy of \> 6 months, with normal bone marrow and kidney functions and no active or newly diagnosed central nervous system (CNS) metastases or symptomatic metastatic visceral disease at risk of life-threatening complications. Interventions: Patients randomized to Arm A will receive 600 mg olaparib daily and 400 mg elacestrant daily, while patients randomized to Arm B will receive 600 mg olaparib daily. Blood tests (hematology, biochemistry) will be performed at the beginning of every cycle, and imaging for tumor assessment (chest and abdominopelvic imaging) as well as QoL assessments will be performed every three months and in case of suspicion of progression/end of study.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Progression free survival (PFS)
PFS, investigator-assessed. To evaluate the impact on PFS of elacestrant with olaparib compared to olaparib alone in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with gBRCA1/2 mutations.
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to first progression as assessed by the investigator, or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 48 months.
Secondary Outcomes (10)
Time-to-treatment failure (TTF)
TTF is defined as time from randomization to discontinuation of treatment due to disease progression, treatment toxicity, patient´s preference, or death, assessed up to 48 months.
Overall survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any reason, assessed up to 48 months.
Patient reported outcome (PRO) in the form of quality of life (QoL) assessment
At baseline, day 1 of cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days), every 3 months starting from treatment start, and at end of treatment (an average of 12 months per patient).
PFS in stratified and exploratory subgroups
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to first progression as assessed by the investigator, or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 48 months.
TTF in the stratified subgroups
TTF is defined as time from randomization to discontinuation of treatment due to disease progression, treatment toxicity, patient´s preference, or death, assessed up to 48 months.

Study Arms (2)
Arm A: Olaparib + elacestrant*
EXPERIMENTALTreatment will be given until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of patient´s consent to study participation, or end of study. \* Together with GnRH analogue in pre- and perimenopausal women, and in men, at least two weeks prior to treatment. * Elacestrant tablets 400 mg orally daily * Olaparib 600 mg orally daily The protocol provides procedures for specific adverse events requiring dose modifications or delays.
Arm B: Olaparib
ACTIVE COMPARATORTreatment will be given until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of patient´s consent to study participation, or end of study. • Olaparib 600 mg orally once daily The protocol provides procedures for specific adverse events requiring dose modifications or delays.
Interventions
Olaparib 600 mg orally daily and elacestrant 400 mg orally daily
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients will be eligible for study participation only if they comply with the following criteria:
- Written informed consent prior to beginning specific protocol procedures, including expected cooperation of the patients for scheduled visit, the treatment and follow-up, must be obtained and documented according to the local regulatory requirements.
- Female or male patients.
- Age at study entry of at least 18 years.
- Locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that is HR-positive (ER and/or PgR ≥ 10% of stained cells at IHC) and HER2-negative (IHC 0 or 1+, or 2+ and ISH negative according to ASCO/CAP guidelines).
- Patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious gBRCA1/2 mutation detected upon local testing.
- Willingness and ability to provide archived formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue (FFPE) block or a partial block from archived tumor or metastasis.
- Indication for standard-of-care PARP inhibitor therapy and planned treatment with olaparib.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0-2.
- Resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior anti-cancer therapy including endocrine therapy or surgical procedures to NCI CTCAE version 5.0 grade ≤ 1 (except alopecia or other toxicities not considered a safety risk for the patient at investigator's discretion).
- Life-expectancy \> 6 months.
- For female patients: patients of childbearing potential (defined as not post-menopausal and not permanently sterile \[latter defined as having undergone hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy\]) require a negative serum or urinary pregnancy test within 72 hours before starting treatment in this study (in this case, patients need to use highly effective non-hormonal contraceptive methods as specified in the protocol).
- For male patients: during the intervention period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of elacestrant, patients should refrain from heterosexual intercourse or use a condom (and should also be advised of the benefit for a female partner to use a highly effective method of contraception as a condom may break or leak), and they should refrain from donating sperm.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients will be ineligible for study participation if they fulfill any of the following criteria:
- Known hypersensitivity reaction to one of the compounds, excipients, or substances used in this protocol.
- Active or newly diagnosed CNS metastases, including leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, carcinomatous meningitis, or radiographic signs of CNS hemorrhage. Note: Patients with stable brain metastases are allowed. Radiotherapeutic treatment must be completed 1 week before planned day 1 of study therapy.
- Presence of symptomatic metastatic visceral disease that are at risk of life-threatening complications in the short term, including but not confined to massive uncontrolled effusions (peritoneal, pleural, pericardial), pulmonary lymphangitis, or fulminant liver involvement.
- Inadequate organ function prior to enrolment including:
- Hemoglobin \< 9 g/dL (\< 5.6 mmol/L)
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 1500/mm³ (\< 1.5 x 109/L)
- Platelets \< 100,000/mm³ (\< 100 x 109/L)
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) \> 3 x upper normal limits (ULN). If the patient has liver metastases, ALT and AST should not be ≥ 5 x ULN.
- Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) \> 2.5 x ULN
- Total serum bilirubin \> 1.5 x ULN (exception: patients with Gilbert's syndrome permitted up to ≤ 3 x ULN)
- Serum creatinine \> 1.5 x ULN or estimated creatinine clearance \< 50 mL/min as calculated using the standard method for the institution.
- Existing contraindication against the use of the elacestrant or olaparib.
- Prior treatment with PARP inhibitors.
- Female patients: pregnancy or lactation at the time of randomization or intention to become pregnant during the study and for a predefined period after the end of treatment (as described in protocol).
