Palbociclib / Letrozole or Fulvestrant in African American Women With HR+ HER2- Breast Cancer

NCT02692755

Description:

This study aims to evaluate the hematological safety of palbociclib with letrozole and fulvestrant in African American women with hormone receptor positive HER2 negative advanced breast cancer. Hematological safety is a composite endpoint of episodes of febrile neutropenia and treatment discontinuation due to neutropenia according to current recommendations for management of neutropenia

Purpose

This study aims to evaluate the hematological safety of palbociclib with letrozole and fulvestrant in African American women with hormone receptor positive HER2 negative advanced breast cancer. Hematological safety is a composite endpoint of episodes of febrile neutropenia and treatment discontinuation due to neutropenia according to current recommendations for management of neutropenia

Detailed Description

      The study is designed to assess the rate of completion of planned oncology therapy in the
      absence of a hematological event defined as episodes of febrile neutropenia and treatment
      discontinuation due to neutropenia. A completion rate of 80% is considered of clinical
      relevance as to benefit breast cancer patients who are at a higher risk of having ethnic
      neutropenia where as a completion rate of 60% is considered poor and to justify additional
      safety studies. A two stage design with a total of 35 patients is used to test if the
      completion rate is at least 80% versus if it is below 60% with 80% power at a significance
      level of 5%.

      An exact confidence interval of the completion rate will be calculated. Investigators
      estimate there will be no more than a 10% rate of febrile neutropenia. Due to the small
      sample size, the analysis of secondary endpoints will be descriptive and will not include
      specific hypothesis testing.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Self-identified Black, African or African American women of ≥ 18 years of age with
             proven diagnosis of advanced adenocarcinoma of the breast (locoregionally recurrent or
             metastatic disease)

          2. ER-positive and/or PgR-positive tumor based on local laboratory results

          3. HER2-negative breast cancer based on local laboratory results (test to be used as per
             local practice)

          4. Patients must be appropriate candidates for letrozole or fulvestrant therapy

          5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2

          6. Adequate bone marrow function:

               -  Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mm3 (1.0 x 109/L);

               -  Platelets ≥100,000/mm3 (100 x 109/L);

               -  Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (90 g/L).

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Current use of food or drugs known to be potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4

          2. Active uncontrolled or symptomatic brain metastases. Previously treated and clinically
             stable, as per Investigator's judgment, brain metastases are permitted.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Number of Patients Who Complete Planned Oncologic Therapy Without the Development of a Hematological Event
Time Frame:12 months
Safety Issue:
Description:For study purpose febrile neutropenia will be defined according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0: "ANC less than 1000/mm3 with a single temperature of >38.3 degrees Celsius (101 degrees Fahrenheit) or a sustained temperature of 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit) for more than one hour." Planned oncology therapy is defined as completion of one year of therapy for advanced breast cancer in the absence of disease progression or cessation of study drug due to progressive disease or non-hematological toxicity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Dose Delays in Palbociclib Attributed to Neutropenia
Time Frame:12 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Number of patients who required dose delays in palbociclib attributed to neutropenia.
Measure:Dose Reductions in Palbociclib Therapy Attributed to Neutropenia
Time Frame:12 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Number of patients who required dose reductions in palbociclib therapy
Measure:Clinical Benefit Rate
Time Frame:24 weeks
Safety Issue:
Description:Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR), for those with evaluable disease, defined as the percentage of patients who achieved complete response, partial response and stable disease. The mean (SD) of specific metabolites were calculated at each time point and graphically assess these measures over time with clinical response and hematological toxicity. The mean change in these variables from baseline to each follow-up point was be calculated. Generalized linear model was utilized for the correlative analysis of clinical response and hematologic events.
