The allowed chemotherapy regimens will be AC (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin) or EC (epirubicin, cyclophosphamide) 4 cycles followed by weekly paclitaxel x 12 or AC or EC 4 cycles followed by docetaxel 4 cycles. It would be acceptable to change the administration sequence to paclitaxel followed by AC/EC. AC can be given either a standard dose or in a dose-dense schedule. Paclitaxel could be administered as a solvent-based or Nanoparticle albumin-bound (Nab) formulation.
  • Availability of a recent formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor sample before NAC and a research tumor biopsy after NAC. Minimal sample requirements are to have at least 2 tumor cylinders with a minimal tissue surface of 10 mm2 tissue, containing at least 10% tumor cells and having enough tissue to do at least 2 cuts of 10 μm each.
  • Adequate organ function determined within 28 days prior to enrollment, defined as follows:
  • Hematological
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
  • Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (red blood cell transfusion and/or erythropoietin allowed)
  • Renal
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), or 24-hour creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min for a subject with creatinine levels >1.5 x ULN. (Note: Creatinine clearance does not need to be determined if the baseline serum creatinine is within normal limits. Creatinine clearance should be calculated per institutional standard).

  • Serum or urine pregnancy test must be negative within 7 days prior enrollment in women of childbearing potential. If the urine pregnancy test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required. Pregnancy testing does not need to be pursued in patients who are judged as postmenopausal before randomization, as determined by local practice, or who have undergone bilateral oophorectomy, total hysterectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation. Women of childbearing potential enrolled to the treatment must use adequate contraception for the duration of protocol treatment.
  • Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological, or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial.
  • Resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior anti-cancer therapy 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).
  • Pre/peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women are allowed; menopausal status is relevant for the requirement of goserelin or triptorelin to be used concomitantly with palbociclib plus letrozole. Post-menopausal status is defined either by:
  • Prior bilateral oophorectomy or
  • Age ≥60 or
  • Age < 60 and amenorrhea for ≥ 12 months prior to the start of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and FSH and estradiol in the post-menopausal range per local standards prior to the start of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

About this study

Official title: Palbociclib in Combination With Letrozole in Patients With Hormone Receptor (HR) Positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) Negative Residual Disease After Standard Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (PROMETEO II)

PROMETEO II is a single-arm window of opportunity trial to evaluate biologic and anti-proliferative effects of palbociclib and letrozole in HR+/HER2-negative operable breast cancer (BC) patients with residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and help to identify biomarkers for better patient selection.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-arm window of opportunity trial to evaluate biologic and anti-proliferative effects of palbociclib and letrozole in HR+/HER2-negative operable BC patients with residual disease after NAC and help to identify biomarkers for better patient selection.

The primary endpoint will be the Complete Cell Cycle Arrest (CCCA) determined by Ki67<2.7%, centrally assessed at surgery after 4 weeks of palbociclib and letrozole.

Tumor measurement will be performed by ultrasound (US) for disease evaluation and confirmation of residual disease will be performed at screening at the end of NAC. The biopsy after chemotherapy will only be done after confirmation of residual disease by US. Ki67% ≥ 5% after NAC by local determination will be necessary to be included in the study.

Patients will be administered palbociclib at a dose of 125 mg once daily, day 1 to day 21 followed by 7 days off treatment in a 28-day cycle and letrozole: oral, 2.5 mg per day continuously, one cycle of treatment.

After the finalization of the neoadjuvant treatment, patients will undergo surgery. Surgery specimens will be collected for histological examination and biomarker analysis

The end of the study is defined as the date of post-surgery visit and will take place 4 weeks (+/- 7days) after the surgery in order to monitor the patient's safety and collect the surgery information.

  1. Complete Cell Cycle Arrest (CCCA)

    Complete Cell Cycle Arrest (CCCA) determined by Ki67< 2.7% at surgery following treatment with palbociclib plus letrozole, by central laboratory

    Measured: Ki67 will be determined at surgery by central laboratory

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Residual Cancer Burden (RCB)

    Changes in Ki67 between baseline samples (before NAC), residual disease samples after NAC and surgical samples following palbociclib with letrozole.

    Measured: Pretreated sample before NAC, after NAC and at surgery 4 weeks after palbociclib and letrozole treatment

  2. Residual Cancer Burden (RCB)

    Rate of RCB score 0 or 1 (RCB 0/1) after neoadjuvant treatment, according to the MD Anderson Cancer Center procedures, as per local assessment

    Measured: At surgery, 4 weeks after palbociclib and letrozole treatment

  3. Pathological complete response (pCR)

    Rate of pCR (ypT0/TisypN0) defined as the complete absence of invasive carcinoma in the breast and axillary lymph nodes on histological examination at the time of definitive surgery, irrespective of in situ carcinoma in the breast and in the breast and axilla by local evaluation.

    Measured: At surgery, 4 weeks after palbociclib and letrozole treatment

  4. Incidence, duration and severity of Adverse Events (AEs)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Palbociclib and Letrozole in people with Breast Cancer, run by SOLTI Breast Cancer Research Group at 8 sites in Spain.

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 29 inclusion and 16 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Spain. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Complete Cell Cycle Arrest (CCCA) (time frame: Ki67 will be determined at surgery by central laboratory). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04130152, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Oct 2022.
