Purpose

This is an open label, randomized, multicenter, international phase II study for premenopausal patients with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive either palbociclib + exemestane + OFS (Arm 1) or exemestane +OFS (Arm 2). Treatment will be continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicities, or withdrawal of consent.

Detailed Description

      There is a strong in-vitro and clinical evidence suggesting that the dual inhibition of CDK
      4/6 and ER signaling is a highly effective therapeutic strategy in HR+ MBC. With the
      unprecedented success of palbociclib in PALOMA-1 trial, several phase 2 and 3 trials are
      underway to evaluate this agent (and other CDK4/6 inhibitors as well) in the different
      clinical scenarios of HR+ breast cancer [28].The vast majority of these trials -if not all-
      are testing these novel agents in postmenopausal patients, which would render the clinical
      experience of these agents restricted to postmenopausal women (median age was 62 years in
      PALOMA-1 trial) The scarcity of clinical trials addressing endocrinal therapy in
      premenopausal women with MBC is, at least in part, related to the fact that the majority of
      women in western countries are diagnosed with breast cancer during their postmenopausal life.
      However the situation is rather different in many countries, including those in the Middle
      East region, where the median age of women diagnosed with breast cancer is below 50 years,
      and where approximately 50% of these patients are still menstruating.

      This study will be the first to explore the therapeutic effects of palbociclib when combined
      with exemestane and ovarian function suppression (OFS) in premenopausal with hormone receptor
      positive and HER2 negative MBC, and how it will compare to the classic approach of using OFS
      plus an aromatase inhibitor.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Adult women (≥ 18 years of age) with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer

             consistent with local laboratory standards.

          3. HER2 negative breast cancer as confirmed by IHC, SISH or FISH.

          4. Premenopausal women : (definition of a real menopause is not a simple task in these
             relatively young women, owing to the potential effect of prior chemotherapy and /or
             endocrinal therapy particularly OFS) defined either by:

             i. Any age below 40 years , irrespective to E2 level or menstrual history ii. If the
             woman had a menstrual period any time within the last 12 months iii. If the woman has
             amenorrhea of more than 12 months (in the absence of chemotherapy or ovarian function
             suppression) that is associated with serum hormone levels that are NOT in the
             postmenopausal range (either estradiol (E2) < 30 pg/mL and follicle-stimulating
             hormone (FSH) < 20 mU/mL OR E2 ≥ 30 pg/mL and FSH ≥ 20 mU/mL) [30].

          5. Secondary hormonal resistance to tamoxifen or endocrinal sensitive metastatic disease
             i. Secondary hormonal resistance is defined as recurrence after 24 months from the
             start of adjuvant tamoxifen treatment or within 12 months from the end of the 5 years
             of adjuvant Tamoxifen ii. Endocrinal sensitive disease is defined as recurrence after
             12 months from the end of adjuvant tamoxifen treatment or de novo metastatic disease

          6. Measurable disease according to RECIST or bone-only metastases. Previously irradiated
             lesions are deemed measurable only if progression is documented at the site after
             completion of radiation.

             i. Patients must either have at least one lesion that can be accurately measured; OR
             ii. Patients have bone lesions: lytic or mixed (lytic + sclerotic) in the absence of
