Letrozole Plus Ribociclib or Placebo as Neo-adjuvant Therapy in ER-positive, HER2-negative Early Breast Cancer

NCT02712723

Description:

The purpose of this study is to determine if ribociclib in combination with letrozole for 24 weeks as neoadjuvant endocrine therapy increases the proportion of women with Pre-operative Endocrine Prognostic Index (PEPI) score of 0 at surgery compared to patients treated with letrozole alone therefore allowing more patients excellent outcomes without chemotherapy.

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine if ribociclib in combination with letrozole for 24 weeks as neoadjuvant endocrine therapy increases the proportion of women with Pre-operative Endocrine Prognostic Index (PEPI) score of 0 at surgery compared to patients treated with letrozole alone therefore allowing more patients excellent outcomes without chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

      Subjects will be randomized (1:1:1) to either letrozole plus placebo vs. letrozole plus
      continuous dosing of ribociclib vs. letrozole plus intermittent dosing
      (3-weeks-on/1-week-off) of ribociclib.

      The difference in clinical, pathologic and radiologic response as well as Pre-operative
      Endocrine Prognostic Index (PEPI) scores across the three treatments arms will be examined.
      Subjects will also be followed for 5 years post-treatment to determine if ribociclib in
      combination with letrozole for 24 weeks results in improved 5 year Relapse Free Survival
      (RFS) compared to letrozole alone.
