A Open Study of Metronomic Oral Vinorelbine in Combination With Aromatase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Postmenopausal Women With Hormone Receptor Positive,HER2-negative, Advanced Breast Cancer Who Received no Prior Therapy for Advanced Disease

NCT02730091

Description:

This study is designed to evaluate the clinical effects of the addition of metronomic oral vinorelbine to letrozole and anastrozole. The study will compare the efficacy and tolerability of oral metronomic vinorelbine administered in combination with letrozole or anastrozole, as treatment for hormone receptor-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer without resistance to Aromatase Inhibitors (AI).

Purpose

This study is designed to evaluate the clinical effects of the addition of metronomic oral vinorelbine to letrozole and anastrozole. The study will compare the efficacy and tolerability of oral metronomic vinorelbine administered in combination with letrozole or anastrozole, as treatment for hormone receptor-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer without resistance to Aromatase Inhibitors (AI).

Detailed Description

      Letrozole and Anastrozole are AI generally used as the first line of therapy for women with
      HR+ breast cancer.

      Furthermore, present hormonal treatments of advanced breast cancer (ABC) or Metastatic breast
      cancer (MBC) are sub-optimal, as only approximately one half of patients with oestrogen
      and/or progesterone receptor positive tumours will respond to therapy.

      For this patient population, chemotherapy is a valid option, especially after failure or
      intolerance to hormone therapy. Both combination and sequential single-agent chemotherapy are
      reasonable options. Based on the available data, sequential monotherapy is recommended as the
      preferred choice for MBC. Preferred first-line chemotherapy single agents are anthracyclines,
      taxanes, capecitabine, gemcitabine and vinorelbine.

      The development of oral chemotherapy formulations offer numerous benefits to patients,
      oncologists, oncology nurses, pharmacists and healthcare providers Metronomic therapy (MT)
      refers to repetitive, low doses of chemotherapy drugs. MT exerts an effect not only on tumor
      cells, but also on their microenvironment. In particular, the low-dose schedule compromises
      the repairing process of endothelial cells, leading to an anti-angiogenic effect. A
      systematic review of the results of phase I, II and III studies suggests that MT is a
      treatment option for breast cancer patients, has a low toxicity profile, efficacy in most
      patients and has potentially significant cost-effective advantages for public health.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame:up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Progression Free Survival is defined as the time from randomization until objective tumor progression or death from any cause if progression did not occur. Subjects will also be considered to have progressed if they have treatment discontinuation with documented evidence of clinical deterioration due to breast cancer. If a patient has not an event, PFS will be censored at the date of the last adequate tumor assessment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:health-related quality of life using HRQoL QLQ-C30 and BR23
Time Frame:up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:using EORTC QLQ-C30 (targeted dimensions: Global Health, physical and Emotional Dimensions, Fatigue and pain) HRQoL will be considered as the first secondary endpoint in order to confirm clinical benefit for the patient since we need more follow up to observe an impact on overall survival (OS).
Measure:overall response rate (ORR)
Time Frame:up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:ORR and as defined by RECIST 1.1.
Measure:clinical benefit rate (CBR)
Time Frame:up to 5 years

Description:CBR, defined as percentage of patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR) per RECIST or stable disease (SD) lasting 24 weeks or longer
Measure:Safety assessed by NCI CTCAE version 4.0",
Time Frame:up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:using NCI CTCAE version 4.0
