About this study

Official title: An Investigator Initiated Registry of Simple Oral Therapy for Low Risk Breast Cancer (SOLR)

This pilot clinical trial studies how well endocrine therapy works in treating patients with HER2 negative, low risk breast cancer. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Endocrine therapies such as aromatase inhibitors and selective estrogen receptor modulators may lessen the amount of estrogen made by the body.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To estimate the conversion rate from a standard low-toxicity approach to guideline-directed therapy which includes surgery +/- radiation therapy as a result of progression of disease or patient/provider choice.

II. To examine factors that might differ between those who convert from the low-toxicity approach to the guideline-directed therapy and those do not convert.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To measure the safety and clinical effectiveness of systemic endocrine therapy used in a prolonged neoadjuvant fashion.

II. To evaluate the impact of risk-stratified care in Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY) and QALY gains.

III. To estimate the cost savings of indefinitely delaying surgery and radiation in favor of systemic endocrine therapy alone.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive exemestane orally (PO) once daily (QD), anastrozole PO QD, letrozole PO QD, tamoxifen citrate PO QD, or toremifene citrate PO QD at the discretion of the treating physician. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

What is being measured

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

  1. Conversion from oral endocrine therapy for any reason to guideline-directed therapy

    Includes clinical or radiographic progression, patient preference, endocrine therapy intolerance or toxicity, or death from any cause. Descriptive statistics will be summarized among all patients and patients within each of the two groups (stay with oral therapy vs conversion due to any causes).

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Advanced imaging (if performed on any subset of patients)

    Will be compared to a concurrent group of patients managed in the conventional manner with upfront surgery +/- radiation therapy followed by systemic endocrine therapy. Descriptive statistics will be summarized among all patients and patients within each of the two groups (stay with oral therapy vs conversion due to any causes).

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Cost-effectiveness and patient-centeredness outcomes defined as financial toxicity and solubility, quality of life (physical, mental, emotional changes) on endocrine therapy, and, access to support services

    Comparisons will be made to historical benchmarks for similar patients managed in a conventional locoregional manner for early-stage breast cancer. Descriptive statistics will be summarized among all patients and patients within each of the two groups (stay with oral therapy vs conversion due to any causes).

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Effect of age

    Will be compared to a concurrent group of patients managed in the conventional manner with upfront surgery +/- radiation therapy followed by systemic endocrine therapy. Descriptive statistics will be summarized among all patients and patients within each of the two groups (stay with oral therapy vs conversion due to any causes).

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  4. Effect of comorbidity severity interaction

    Will be compared to a concurrent group of patients managed in the conventional manner with upfront surgery +/- radiation therapy followed by systemic endocrine therapy. Descriptive statistics will be summarized among all patients and patients within each of the two groups (stay with oral therapy vs conversion due to any causes).

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  5. Effect of type of endocrine therapy type (selective estrogen receptor modifier versus aromatase inhibitor)

    Will be compared to a concurrent group of patients managed in the conventional manner with upfront surgery +/- radiation therapy followed by systemic endocrine therapy. Descriptive statistics will be summarized among all patients and patients within each of the two groups (stay with oral therapy vs conversion due to any causes).

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  6. Effects emanating from tertiary care

    Will be compared to a concurrent group of patients managed in the conventional manner with upfront surgery +/- radiation therapy followed by systemic endocrine therapy. Descriptive statistics will be summarized among all patients and patients within each of the two groups (stay with oral therapy vs conversion due to any causes).

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  7. Progression of disease while on primary endocrine therapy, as measured objectively by routine diagnostic breast imaging (mammography and/or ultrasound)

    Descriptive statistics will be summarized among all patients and patients within each of the two groups (stay with oral therapy vs conversion due to any causes).

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Anastrozole, Exemestane and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with HER2/Neu Negative and Invasive Breast Carcinoma, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center 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?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Dec 2018. 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?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Conversion from oral endocrine therapy for any reason to guideline-directed therapy (time frame: Up to 5 years). 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 27 Dec 2018.
