- Age ≥60 or
- Age < 60 and amenorrhea for ≥ 12 months (in the absence of chemotherapy, tamoxifen, toremifen, or ovarian suppression) and FSH and estradiol in the post-menopausal range per local standards.
- If a patient is taking tamoxifen or toremifene and is aged < 60, then FSH and plasma estradiol levels should be in post-menopausal range per local values.
- For women with therapy-induced amenorrhea, measurement of FSH and/or estradiol are needed to ensure menopausal status.
- Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks.
- Locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer not amenable to curative intent.
- Histologically confirmed HR-positive/HER2-negative disease based on the most recent biopsy before signing the informed consent.
- HER2 negativity is defined as either of the following by local laboratory assessment: IHC 0, IHC 1+ or IHC2+/in situ hybridisation (ISH/FISH) negative as per American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)-College of American Pathologists Guideline (CAP) guideline(73).

About this study
Official title: Targeting the PAM50 Her2-Enriched Phenotype With Enzalutamide in Hormone Receptor-Positive/Her2-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer
The main hypothesis of the study is that enzalutamide induces a significant proliferative arrest in HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer falling into the PAM50 HER2-E subtype. Currently, enzalutamide clinical development is ongoing in different prostate cancer indications but the breast cancer development program has been discontinued. As the role of the AR in HR-positive breast cancer and the predictive value of previously identified biomarker are still unclear, further research is needed to effectively utilize enzalutamide in this disease.
Read the detailed description
A strong rationale accumulated over the years suggests that within HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer, tumors falling into the PAM50 HER2-enriched subtype have androgen receptor (AR)-dependency. To test this hypothesis directly in patients' tumors, we propose an exploratory, open-label, non-randomized, two-cohort, multicenter, prospective, phase II study which evaluates the effect of enzalutamide on proliferation after 2 weeks (14-21 days) of treatment in patients with endocrine-resistant, locally advanced or metastatic HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer. After 2 weeks (14-21 days) of treatment, patients will continue enzalutamide. Exemestane will be allowed to be added to enzalutamide per investigator discretion and will be administered until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Enzalutamide 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 37 inclusion and 25 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 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?
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?
The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of effectiveness). Results are not available in the source record.
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?
changes of the PAM50 11-gene proliferation signature (time frame: after 2 weeks (14-21 days) of treatment with enzalutamide). 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 28 Oct 2022.
