Comparing the combination of Ribociclib plus goserelin acetate with hormonal therapy versus combination chemotherapy in premenopausal or perimenopausal patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Malignant neoplasm of breast,
Registration Number
CTRI/2019/09/021333
Lead Sponsor
Novartis Healthcare Pvt Ltd
Brief Summary

Purpose of the trial: Recent phase III clinical trials demonstrated that CDK4/6 inhibitor plus endocrine therapy could generate a tumor response rate higher than 50% (in measurable lesions), which is higher than what has been reported by

most of the chemotherapy regimens in phase III studies. The purpose of this trial is to compare the two treatment modalities in the patients with aggressive disease in HR+/HER2- metastatic pre/peri-menopausal breast

cancer setting.

  • Patients must have not received any prior hormonal therapy and chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer, except LHRH agonist.
  • Patients who received less than 14 days of tamoxifen or a NSAI (letrozole or anastrozole) with or without LHRH agonist for advanced breast cancer prior to randomization are eligible.
  • Patient must have measurable disease, i.e., at least one measurable lesion as per RECIST 1.1 criteria (a lesion at a previously irradiated site may only be counted as a target lesion if there is a clear sign of progression since the irradiation).
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patient has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy (including hormonal therapy and chemotherapy, or any CDK4 6 inhibitor for advanced breast cancer.
  • Patients who received (neo) adjuvant therapy for breast cancer are eligible.
  • If the prior neo (adjuvant) therapy included aromatase inhibitors, the disease free interval must be greater than 12 months from the completion of aromatase inhibitor treatment until randomization.
  • Patients who are receiving less than 14 days of tamoxifen or NSAI or LHRH agonists less than 28 days for advanced breast cancer prior to randomization are eligible.

  • Patient from whom more than 25 percent of the bone marrow has been previously irradiated are also excluded.
  • Patient has a concurrent malignancy or malignancy within 3 years of randomization, with the exception of adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma non melanomatous skin cancer or curatively resected cervical cancer.
  • Note CNS involvement must be ruled out by assessments if a patient has any signs or symptoms indicating potential central nervous system metastases.
