About this study

Official title: PREDIX Luminal A - Neoadjuvant Response-guided Treatment of Slowly Proliferating Hormone Receptor Positive Tumors. Part of a Platform of Translational Phase II Trials Based on Molecular Subtypes

The purpose of this neoadjuvant trial is to evaluate efficacy and toxicity of the cdk 4/6 inhibitor palbociclib when added to standard endocrine treatment. Initially, patients receive endocrine treatment for 4 weeks. In case of decrease of proliferation (Ki67) patients are then randomized between either continuous endocrine therapy (arm A) or the same treatment with addition of palbociclib (arm B). Patients with no change of proliferation are allocated to endocrine treatment + palbociclib without randomization (arm C). During the 12-weekly treatment period, clinical and radiological evaluations are performed repeatedly. Switch between the treatment arms A and B is allowed in case of lack of response or due to toxicity. A translational subprotocol is a mandatory part of the study protocol, except for use of PET-CT evaluations.

Read the detailed description

Pre- or perimenopausal women are treated with tamoxifen, alternatively with an LHRH analogue in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (only women). Postmenopausal women receive an aromatase inhibitor.This treatment is given for 4 weeks. In cases with uncertain menopausal status (previous hysterectomy and equivocal gonadotropins), postmenopause age limit is defined as 55 years or older.

Ki67 is determined by FNA or core biopsy before start and after 2 weeks of treatment. After the initial 4-week period, patients with signs of response in terms of decrease of Ki67 by ≥20% are randomized to endocrine treatment either alone or in combination with the cdk 4/6 inhibitor palbociclib (arm A and B). Patients with tumors with stable disease, defined as <20% decrease or increase of Ki67 and without radiological indication of tumor progression at the 4-week evaluation are offered continuous endocrine treatment with the addition of palbociclib (arm C).

Dose regimen after 4 weeks of endocrine pretreatment:

Arm A: Pre- or perimenopausal women are treated with tamoxifen, alternatively with an LHRH analogue in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (only women). Postmenopausal women receive an aromatase inhibitor. The preoperative treatment is continued for further 12 weeks, provided that re-evaluation after 6 and 10 weeks of the preoperative treatment does not indicate progression. Upon progression (PD), individualized management, preferentially surgery, is the primary option.

Arm B: Patients receive the same endocrine treatment as in arm A together with palbociclib 125 mg orally days 1-21, followed by a 7-days rest period. The combined treatment is continued for further 12 weeks, if re-evaluation after 6 weeks, week 10 of the preoperative treatment, does not indicate progression. Upon progression (PD), individualized management, preferentially surgery, is the primary option.

Arm C: Treatment according to the schedule as described for arm B.

Postoperative chemotherapy is recommended to patients with either residual lymph node metastases >2mm (macro metastases) or primary tumor size >30mm in combination with Ki67>15%. Adjuvant endocrine treatment and radiotherapy is offered according to standard guidelines. Structured follow-up visits yearly for five years include reporting of persistent treatment-related toxicity, HRQoL, recurrence and death.

All patients are recommended adjuvant endocrine treatment for at least 5 years.

The trial contains also a translational subprotocol:

  1. PET-CT using FDG, confined to the chest, is performed before start of the first treatment period and after 10 weeks, i.e. 6 weeks after treatment allocation (functional imaging, optional).
  2. Core biopsies from the tumor are collected before start of the first treatment period and after 10 weeks, i.e. 6 weeks after treatment allocation. Further tissue samples are collected from the surgical specimen.
  3. Blood samples are collected repeatedly during the ongoing treatment and yearly follow-up.
  4. FNAs from metastases in case of recurrence during follow-up.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical and Radiological Response

    Clinical evaluations by use of calliper, radiological evaluations with mammography and ultrasound after 4, 10 and 16 weeks, PET-CT after 10 weeks of treatment, compared with baseline measurements

    Measured: After 16 weeks of preoperative treatment

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Pathological Evaluation of Tumor Response

    Pathological signs of response, i.e. fibrosis, necrosis aso.

    Measured: From date of surgery up to 4 weeks

  2. Disease-free Survival

    Disease-free survival includes all events related to breast cancer, and death from any cause during the follow-up period

    Measured: From date of surgery until 60 months past surgery

  3. Breast Cancer-specific Survival

    Breast cancer-specific survival includes all events related to breast cancer and death caused by breast cancer during the follow-up period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tamoxifen or Aromatase Inhibitor or Aromatase Inhibitor + goserelin and Palbociclib in people with Early-Stage Breast Carcinoma and Hormone Receptor Positive Tumor, run by Thomas Hatschek at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical and Radiological Response (time frame: After 16 weeks of preoperative treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jul 2020.
