About this study

Official title: Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer With Fulvestrant Plus Palbociclib or Tamoxifen Plus Palbociclib: A Randomized Pilot Trial With ESR1 Mutation Tested in Circulating Tumor DNA.

To assess longitudinal changes in allele frequency of ESR1 mutation in plasma in patients treated with Fulvestrant plus palbociclib compared to tamoxifen plus palbociclib

Read the detailed description

The primary objectives are to assess longitudinal changes in allele frequency of ESR1 mutation in plasma in patients treated with Fulvestrant plus palbociclib compared to tamoxifen plus palbociclib.

Patients with ER+ breast cancer who had 1 to 3 prior lines of endocrine therapy and up to one line of chemotherapy for MBC, excluding fulvestrant and tamoxifen, will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive fulvestrant 500mg IM Q28 days with one extra dose on Day15 of the first cycle (as a loading dose) plus palbociclib 125mg/day PO on a 21 days on/7 days off schedule or tamoxifen 20mg PO daily plus palbociclib 125mg/day PO on a 21 days on/7 days off schedule.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    The duration of time from time of randomization to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first. Disease progression (PD) as defined by RECIST v1.1: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The progression of non-target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression.

    PFS for a subject without an event will be censored on the date of last tumor assessment. If an interval of 6 months passes without a tumor assessment, PFS will be censored at the time of the earlier tumor assessment, even if an event (progressive disease or death) is later observed.

    Measured: Up to 3 years and 351 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Best Overall Response (BOR)

    The number of patients experiencing Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), Stable Disease (SD) or Progressive Disease (PD) per RECIST v1.1; Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1): (CR) is disappearance of all target and nontarget lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm; (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters; (SD) is neither sufficient decrease (target lesions) to qualify as a PR or sufficient increase to qualify as PD. Incomplete Response/Stable Disease (SD) is the persistence of one or more non-target lesions. (PD) is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions compared to baseline sum of target lesions, or any new lesions. It also includes the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. 6-Month Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    The number of patients experiencing Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) per RECIST v1.1; Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1): (CR) is disappearance of all target and nontarget lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm; (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters; (SD) is neither sufficient decrease (target lesions) to qualify as a PR or sufficient increase to qualify as PD. Incomplete Response/Stable Disease (SD) is the persistence of one or more non-target lesions.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  3. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    The number of patients experiencing Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) per RECIST v1.1; Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1): (CR) is disappearance of all target and nontarget lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm; (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters; (SD) is neither sufficient decrease (target lesions) to qualify as a PR or sufficient increase to qualify as PD. Incomplete Response/Stable Disease (SD) is the persistence of one or more non-target lesions.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    The median length of time from the start of treatment that patients remain alive.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Fulvestrant, Tamoxifen and Palbociclib in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Shannon Puhalla at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Sep 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Up to 3 years and 351 days). 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 23 Sep 2024.
