Pyrotinib Maleate, CDK4/6 Inhibitor and Letrozole in Combination for Stage II-III TPBC: a Phase II Trial

NCT04486911

Description:

The emergence of CDK4/6 inhibitors has brought hope to breast cancer patients resistant to endocrine therapy. In the mouse model, pyrotinib maleate combined with CDK4/6 inhibitor exhibits higher anti-tumor activity than any anti-tumor drug alone. Moreover, the toxicity of the combined therapy does not increase compared with monotherapy. This provides a good preclinical model for the treatment of breast cancer by pyrotinib maleate combined with CDK4/6 inhibitor. Based on above, it is hypothesized that pyrotinib maleate, CDK4/6 inhibitor SHR6390 and aromatase inhibitor letrozole in combination can provide a better neoadjuvant strategy for stage II-III triple-positive breast cancer.

Purpose

The emergence of CDK4/6 inhibitors has brought hope to breast cancer patients resistant to endocrine therapy. In the mouse model, pyrotinib maleate combined with CDK4/6 inhibitor exhibits higher anti-tumor activity than any anti-tumor drug alone. Moreover, the toxicity of the combined therapy does not increase compared with monotherapy. This provides a good preclinical model for the treatment of breast cancer by pyrotinib maleate combined with CDK4/6 inhibitor. Based on above, it is hypothesized that pyrotinib maleate, CDK4/6 inhibitor SHR6390 and aromatase inhibitor letrozole in combination can provide a better neoadjuvant strategy for stage II-III triple-positive breast cancer.

Detailed Description

      This single-center, single-arm, open-label trial will include 89 patients with stage II-III
      triple-positive breast cancer (Simon's two-stage design). After providing written informed
      consent, the participants will undergo combined treatment of pyrotinib maleate, CDK4/6
      inhibitor SHR6390, and letrozole. The effectiveness of the combined treatment will be
      evaluated by MRI every two treatment cycles. If the disease progresses, the participant will
      withdraw from the trial. If the combined treatment has identified effectiveness, the
      participant will undergo surgical treatment within 4 weeks (over 2 weeks) after termination
      of the neoadjuvant treatment. The patients will be followed up for 5 years.
