研究概览
简要总结
The primary objective is to determine if letrozole is superior to standard chemotherapy in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced low-grade serous epithelial ovarian carcinoma positive for estrogen and/or progesterone receptors.

入选标准
- •Age ≥ 18 years.
- •Newly diagnosed, low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary including cancer of fallopian tube and peritoneum (invasive micropapillary serous carcinoma or invasive grade 1 serous carcinoma). This is to be confirmed via nuclear p53 immunohistochemistry testing by a central pathology review performed at the Coordinating Centre.
- •Immunohistochemically determined positivity (≥ 10%) for PgR and/or ER expression. This is to be confirmed by centralized review.
- •Patients must have undergone an upfront surgery with maximal cytoreductive effort, with either optimal or suboptimal residual disease status.
- •Stage III-IV according to 2018 FIGO classification. Furthermore, for a proper baseline evaluation patients must have undergone contrast-enhanced CT-scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis within 28 days prior to randomization. If CT-scan is not recommended (e.g. for allergy to contrast agent) MRI or 18F-FDG PET/CT-scan are allowed. The imaging evaluation must be accompanied by an anamnestic and physical examination within 14 days prior to randomization.
- •Postmenopausal, defined as any of the following criteria: - Patients who underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy; - Monolateral salpingo-oophorectomy, amenorrhea for 12 or more consecutive months and age ≥60 years; - Monolateral salpingo-oophorectomy, amenorrhea for 12 or more consecutive months, age <60 years and plus FSH and serum estradiol levels within the laboratory’s reference ranges for postmenopausal women.
- •Randomization must take place within 90 days (preferably within 60 days) of primary cytoreductive surgery.
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group - performance status (ECOG-PS) 0-
- •To be able to take oral medications
- •Adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal functions as defined below: - Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm3 - Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3 - Hemoglobin ≥ 10.0 g/dL - Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) - ALT and AST ≤ 3.0 x ULN - Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x ULN - Albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dL - Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN.
- •Written informed consent obtained prior to any study-specific procedure.
排除标准
- •Other malignancy within the last 5 years, except for non-melanoma skin cancer adequately treated.
- •Neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy for the treatment of this disease.
- •Previous hormonal therapy for the treatment of this disease.
- •Known hypersensitivity to letrozole or known hypersensitivity/intolerance to carboplatin/paclitaxel therapy.
- •Active or uncontrolled systemic infection.
- •Known central nervous system metastases.
- •Severe cardiac disease, such as myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months prior to randomization.
- •New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or greater congestive heart failure.
- •Neuropathy grade 2 or higher.
- •History of fractures of the spine or femur not properly treated.
- •Known osteoporosis (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) of the femoral neck T score of −2.5 or lower) not adequately treated with bisphosphonates or RANKL inhibitors.
- •Concomitant use of inducers of CYP3A4 (e.g. phenytoin, rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and St. John’s Wort) which may reduce exposure to letrozole. Concomitant use of medicinal products with a narrow therapeutic index that are substrates for CYP2C19 (e.g. phenytoin, clopidrogel) that may have their systemic serum concentrations altered by letrozole.
- •Concurrent severe medical problems or any condition that would significantly limit full compliance with the study.
结局指标
主要结局
