Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, prospective, open-label, randomized phase II study to evaluate the CCCA assessed by Ki67 drop below \<2.7% from baseline to week 2 (window of opportunity) and to week 10 with capivasertib plus fulvestrant compared with fulvestrant alone as neoadjuvant treatment for primary high-risk lobular breast cancer patients. 120 patients will be randomized to receive: \- Capivasertib (400 mg po twice daily d1-4 followed by 3 days off) for 2 weeks followed by capivasertib (400 mg po twice daily d1-4 followed by 3 days off) and fulvestrant (500 mg i.m. q28d, with an additional 500 mg dose given two weeks after the initial dose) for additional 8 weeks (overall 4 administrations of fulvestrant) or \- Fulvestrant (500mg i.m. q28d, with an additional 500 mg dose given two weeks after the core biopsy and the initial dose) for 10 weeks (overall 4 administrations) Treatment will be given until surgery/core-biopsy, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent of the patient. All patients will undergo core-biopsies, under treatment and after completing study therapy in order to assess Ki67%. Further treatment including surgery, (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and (neo)adjuvant endocrine therapy will be administered at the discretion of the investigator and according to standard of care outside the clinical trial.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
To assess complete cell cycle arrest (CCCA).
The primary endpoint CCCA is defined as Ki67 drop to \<2.7% after approximately 10 weeks (will be assessed centrally on the breast tissue submitted to central pathology)
Up to 14 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (4)
To asses safety and tolerability
Up to 14 weeks
To assess patholgogical complete response rate (pCR) by different definitions
Up to 14 weeks
To assess breast conservation rate (BCS)
Up to 14 weeks
To assess invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) and overall survival (OS)
through study completion, an average of 2 years
Study Arms (2)
Arm A
EXPERIMENTALCapivasertib (400 mg po twice daily d1-4 followed by 3 days off) for 2 weeks followed by capivasertib (400 mg po twice daily d1-4 followed by 3 days off) and fulvestrant (500 mg i.m. q28d, with an additional 500 mg dose given two weeks after the initial dose) for additional 8 weeks (overall 4 administrations of fulvestrant)
Arm B
ACTIVE COMPARATORFulvestrant (500mg i.m. q28d, with an additional 500 mg dose given two weeks after the core biopsy and the initial dose) for 10 weeks (overall 4 administrations)
Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Written informed consent prior to beginning specific protocol procedures, including expected cooperation of the patients for the treatment and followup, and documented according to the local regulatory requirements.
- Postmenopausal women with age at diagnosis ≥ 18 years.
- Postmenopausal status is defined as:
- Age ≥60 years
- Age \<60 years and amenorrhea for at least 12 continuous months with no identified cause other than menopause
- Bilateral oophorectomy Negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) within 14 days prior to randomization for all postmenopausal women 50 years of age or younger without bilateral oophorectomy
- Willingness and ability to provide archived formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue block from core biopsy before the start of neoadjuvant therapy.
- Centrally confirmed HER2-negative (IHC score 0-1+ or ISH negative according to ASCO/CAP guideline) and HR-positive (≥10% positive stained cells) disease, assessed on the core of diagnostic biopsy. Ki67% \>10% is required. In case of bilateral breast cancer, HER2-negative, HR-positive and lobular histology status has to be confirmed for both sides.
- Patients with invasive lobular breast cancer at high risk for recurrence defined as cT1c and clinical nodal involvement (cN+) or ≥ cT2 disease (irrespective of nodal involvement).
- No clinical evidence of distant metastases.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 or 1.
- Estimated life expectancy of at least 5 years irrespective of the diagnosis of breast cancer.
- The patient must be accessible for scheduled visits, treatment, and followup.
- Normal cardiac function must be confirmed according to local guidelines.
- Laboratory requirements:
- +10 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Female patients of childbearing potential.
- Excisional biopsy or lumpectomy performed prior to study entry.
- Surgical axillary staging procedure including sentinel lymph node biopsy prior to randomization. Exceptions: FNA or core biopsy of an axillary lymph node.
- Any previous treatment including endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or targeted therapy (including AKT inhibitor or PIK3 inhibitor) for the currently diagnosed breast cancer.
- Concurrent use of herbal or natural products intended as treatment or prophylaxis for any type of cancer.
- Known hypersensitivity reaction to one of the compounds or substances used in this protocol.
- Potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment (3 weeks for St John's wort).
- Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal disease, inability to swallow the formulated product, or previous significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of capivasertib.
- Any contraindication for fulvestrant.
- Patients with definitive clinical or radiologic evidence of stage IV cancer (metastatic disease) are not eligible.
- Patients with a history of any malignancy are ineligible with the following exceptions:
- Patient has been disease-free for at least 5 years and is at low risk for recurrence of that malignancy except for breast cancer.
- CIS of the cervix, basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin.
- History of type I or type II diabetes mellitus requiring insulin.
- Severe and relevant co-morbidity that would interact with the application of study drugs or the participation in the study, including cerebrovascular incident including transient ischemic attack, or symptomatic pulmonary embolism, active infection requiring intravenous anti-microbial treatment (antibiotics, anti-fungal, and anti-viral drugs) within 1 week of enrolment. Patients with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome may be included in the study.
