Preoperative Study With Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab and Letrozole in Breast Cancer Patients Sensitive to Hormonal Therapy

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Endocrine Sensitive HER2+/HR+ Breast Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02411344
Lead Sponsor
Istituto Oncologico Veneto IRCCS
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of molecular response in endocrine sensitive breast cancer HER2+/HR+ patients treated with Pertuzumab-trastuzumab plus Ietrozole.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is:

* to evaluate the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR), as defined as complete disappearance of invasive tumor in breast and axillary nodes.

* to estimate the percentage of clinical objective responses (cOR) (complete plus partial) in the breast, as assessed by ultrasonography (US)

* to estimate the percentage of breast conservative surgery

* to evaluate the safety profile

* To perform correlative biomarker analyses

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of pathologic complete responseAt time of surgery, within 3 weeks from the last i.v. therapy

A pathologic complete response (pCR) is defined the complete absence of infiltrating tumor cells in the breast and in lymph nodes. Residual in situ disease (DCIS) will be included in the pCR category.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of clinical objective response.At time of surgery, within 3 weeks from the last i.v. therapy

The Clinical Response will be defined according to RECIST criteria comparing the tumor size (largest tumor diameter) before and after treatment, as assessed by ultrasound examination.

Safety profile assessed by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) To version 4.0 will be usedEvery 21-day cycles
Occurrence of mutations in the PIK3CA geneWithin 4 weeks prior to first dose treatment
Rate of Conservative SurgeryAt time of surgery, within 3 weeks from the last i.v. therapy
