Purpose

To assess longitudinal changes in allele frequency of ESR1 mutation in plasma in patients treated with Fulvestrant plus palbociclib compared to tamoxifen plus palbociclib

Detailed Description

      The primary objectives are to assess longitudinal changes in allele frequency of ESR1
      mutation in plasma in patients treated with Fulvestrant plus palbociclib compared to
      tamoxifen plus palbociclib.

      Patients with ER+ breast cancer who had 1 to 3 prior lines of endocrine therapy and up to one
      line of chemotherapy for MBC, excluding fulvestrant and tamoxifen, will be randomized in a
      1:1 ratio to receive fulvestrant 500mg IM Q28 days with one extra dose on Day15 of the first
      cycle (as a loading dose) plus palbociclib 125mg/day PO on a 21 days on/7 days off schedule
      or tamoxifen 20mg PO daily plus palbociclib 125mg/day PO on a 21 days on/7 days off schedule.

Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:All
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Changes in allele frequency of ESR1 mutation
Time Frame:Up to 6 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Assessment of longitudinal changes in allele frequency of ESR1 mutation (mt) in plasma in treated patients. ESR1 status will be assessed using ddPCR. Allelic frequency is quantified as compared to wild-type allele, independent of plasma volume. The range will be 0-100, with increased values indicating worse prognosis or disease progression.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The duration of time from time of randomization to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first. Disease progression (PD) as defined by RECIST v1.1: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The progression of non-target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression. PFS for a subject without an event will be censored on the date of last tumor assessment. If an interval of 6 months passes without a tumor assessment, PFS will be censored at the time of the earlier tumor assessment, even if an event (progressive disease or death) is later observed.
Measure:Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The proportion of patients with tumor size reduction per RECIST v1.1 ((Complete Response + Partial Response (PR) / all patients assessed for response). Per RECIST v1.1, CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
Measure:Clinical benefit rate (CBR)
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Clinical Benefit Rate is defined as the number of patients with Completed Response (CR)+Partial Response (PR)+ Stable Disease (SD) / all patients assessed for response per RECIST v1.1 . Per RECIST v1.1, CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. SD: Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.
Measure:Assessment ESR1 status
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Assessment of ESR1 status in plasma and biopsy samples. ESR1 status will be assessed using ddPCR. ESR1 status is quantified as compared to wild-type allele, independent of plasma volume. The range will be 0-100, with increased values indicating worse prognosis or disease progression.
Measure:Changes in circulating levels of ESR1-mt
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Assessment of longitudinal changes in circulating levels of ESR1-mt. The range will be 0-100, with increased values indicating worse prognosis or disease progression.
Measure:Gene expression via cfRNA
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Use of cfRNA to determine gene expression in AI resistant mutant ESR1 MBC.
