Locoregional Treatment and Palbociclib in de Novo, Treatment Naive, Stage IV ER+, HER2- Breast Cancer Patients

NCT03870919

Description:

Approximately 3.5% to 6% of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients are stage IV metastatic. De novo metastatic breast cancer accounts for 20% to 25% of these cases. Despite a decrease in mortality in Europe and North America due to early detection and access to treatment, breast cancer remains the 2ⁿᵈ leading cause of cancer deaths in developed countries after lung cancer and the world's leading cause. In the ESME French national retrospective cohort (NCT03275311), the newly diagnosed estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and HER2-negative (luminal) metastatic patients had a 59.1 months overall survival (OS) for pre-menopausal women and 44.7 months for postmenopausal women. In the same cohort, the median OS was 47.4 months for de novo metastatic patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive / HER2-negative breast cancer. The most important current treatment for metastatic breast cancer remains systemic therapy. Surgery and radiation are mainly used to treat symptoms. However, more than 15 retrospective studies have assessed the impact of locoregional treatment on relapse and OS. These studies suggested an improvement of the OS in patients with de novo metastatic breast cancer thanks to the addition of locoregional treatment to systemic therapy. Recent data from the ESME cohort suggest that patients with de novo luminal or HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer may benefit from local treatment of the primary tumor. Several prospective trials have attempted to demonstrate the benefit of locoregional treatment with mixed results. This can be explained by a limited power of statistical analysis, on the recruitment of patients with breast cancer of all types, and on a limited access to effective systemic therapies in some cases and all before the area of anti CD4/6 which is the current standard treatment in patients with HR-positive / HER2-negative luminal metastatic disease. However, guidelines indicate that a "multimodal approach, including curative locoregional treatments, should be considered". As a result, many clinicians offer locoregional treatment of the primary tumor, especially if there is a good response to the first line of systematic treatment. Taken together, these data underscore the need for an evaluation of the value of combined therapy - endocrine therapy - CDK4/6 inhibitor and locoregional treatment - in this population of patients with newly diagnosed HR-positive / HER2-negative breast cancer.

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Palbociclib + locoregional treatmentOtherAll patients will receive the standard of care treatment ie Palbociclib + letrozole for 24-26 weeks. After this period, patient will have the most adapted locoregional treatment ie surgery (conservative or mastectomy) with or without radiotherapy, or radiotherapy. The palbociclib will be continued until progression

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Women with newly diagnosed and histologically proven de novo adenocarcinoma of the
             breast, Any T, any N, with at least one metastatic site measurable and/or

               -  Visceral crisis is defined as severe organ dysfunction as assessed by signs and
                  symptoms, laboratory studies and rapid progression of disease. Visceral crisis is
                  not the mere presence of visceral metastases but implies important visceral
                  compromise leading to a clinical indication for a more rapidly efficacious
                  therapy, particularly since another treatment option at progression will probably
                  not be possible.
