Protocol Title: A Phase II open label, umbrella study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Fulvestrant plus DNA damage repair inhibitors in hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer after a CDK4/6 inhibitor

Read the detailed description

Nearly 70% of breast cancers (BCs) express estrogen receptor and rely on estrogen binding for growth and promotion of tumourigenesis. Endocrine therapy (ET), such as aromatase inhibitors, are the mainstay initial therapy for hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor two-negative (HER2-) BC. Recently, the combination of ET and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors has shown significant and meaningful clinical benefit and has become the standard of care in this setting. So far, three CDK4/6 inhibitors have been approved by both FDA and EMA(European Medicines Agency): palbociclib (Ibrance, Pfizer, USA), ribociclib (vissali, Novartis, Switzerland) and abemaciclib (Verzenio, Lilly, USA). All of these drugs are approved and are widely used in 1st-line treatment for metastatic HR+/HER2- BC in Korea.

CDK4/6 inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment landscape of HR+ HER2- BC but intrinsic or acquired resistance is inevitable. Fulvestrant, a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), is one of preferred agents as the 2nd line treatment after failure of an aromatase inhibitor.

More data regarding treatment options and sequences after failure of CDK4/6 inhibitors and endocrine treatments are needed. This is an umbrella study of treatments according to the germline or somatic genetic alterations in this patient population. The main focus would include, but not be limited to, DNA damage repair (DDR) inhibitors plus fulvestrant combinations.

Olaparib,FulvestrantExperimentalOlaparib tablets should be taken at the same time each day, approximately 12 hours apart with one glass of water. The tablets should be swallowed whole and not chewed, crushed, dissolved or divided. Olaparib tablets can be taken with or without food. Fulvestrant should be administered on days 1, 15, 29, and then once monthly at 500 mg per dose.
Receives: Drug: Olaparib; Drug: Fulvestrant

What is being measured

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

  1. 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate

    PFS rate is the number (%) of patients who are alive without any evidence of disease progression at 6 months.

    Measured: Duration of response is the time from response to progression or death from any cause whichever is earlier.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from the initiation of the study treatment to disease progression or death from any cause whichever is earlier. Progression-free survival will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method with 95% CI(Confidence interval).

    Measured: Duration of response is the time from response to progression or death from any cause whichever is earlier.

  2. Objective response rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the number (%) of patients with at least 1 visit response of CR(Complete Response) or PR (Partial Response) per RECIST 1.1. Data obtained up until progression, or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression, will be included in the assessment of response rate.

    Measured: Duration of response is the time from response to progression or death from any cause whichever is earlier.

  3. Duration of response

    Duration of response is the time from response to progression or death from any cause whichever is earlier.

    Measured: Duration of response is the time from response to progression or death from any cause whichever is earlier.

  4. Safety and toxicity according to CTCAE v5.0

    All safety analyses will be performed on the Safety Population. Safety and tolerability will be assessed in terms of AEs, deaths, laboratory data, vital signs and ECGs. These will be collected for all patients. Appropriate summaries of these data will be described.

    Measured: Duration of response is the time from response to progression or death from any cause whichever is earlier.

  5. Translational research using tumour and blood samples

    Collected samples will be used for potential development of biomarkers for response/resistance and safety

    Measured: Duration of response is the time from response to progression or death from any cause whichever is earlier.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Olaparib and Fulvestrant in people with Advanced Breast Cancer, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Apr 2025. 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 South Korea. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate (time frame: Duration of response is the time from response to progression or death from any cause whichever is earlier.). 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 17 Apr 2025.
