Adjuvant Ribociclib With Endocrine Therapy in Hormone Receptor+/HER2- Intermediate Risk Early Breast Cancer

Phase 3
Withdrawn
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Drug: Adjuvant endocrine therapy
Registration Number
NCT03081234
Lead Sponsor
Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

This is an international, multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of ribociclib with endocrine therapy as an adjuvant treatment in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, intermediate risk breast cancer.

Detailed Description

While adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) is effective in reducing risk of recurrence in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive early breast cancer (EBC), recurrences are still common, especially in patients with unfavorable clinical, pathological and/or molecular features. Ribociclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, demonstrated clinical efficacy with tolerable toxicity when added to ET in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of addition of ribociclib to standard adjuvant ET on invasive disease-free survival in patients with HR+, HER2- intermediate-risk EBC.

Key

Exclusion Criteria
  • Prior neoadjuvant therapy (endocrine therapy or chemotherapy) or CDK4/6 inhibitor
  • Prior treatment with tamoxifen, raloxifen or aromatase inhibitors for reduction in risk (chemoprevention) of breast cancer and/or treatment for osteoporosis within last 2 years
  • Patient with inflammatory breast cancer
  • Prior treatment with anthracyclines at cumulative doses of 450 mg/m² or more for doxorubicin or 900 mg/m² or more for epirubicin
  • Distant metastases of breast cancer beyond regional lymph nodes
  • Patient has not recovered from clinical and laboratory acute toxicities of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery
  • Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac repolarization abnormality, or clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias
  • Uncontrolled hypertension with systolic blood pressure >160 mmHg
  • Patient is currently receiving any of the prohibited substances that cannot be discontinued 7 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1: concomitant medications, herbal supplements, and/or fruits and their juices that are known as strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4/5; medications that have a narrow therapeutic window and are predominantly metabolized through CYP3A4/5; systemic corticosteroids ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug, or who have not fully recovered from side effects of such treatment; concomitant medications with a known risk to prolong the QT interval and/or known to cause torsades de points that cannot be discontinued or replaced by safe alternative medication.
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding (lactating) women or women who plan to become pregnant or breast-feed during the study
  • Women of child-bearing potential unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during the study treatment and for 21 days after stopping the study treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) using STEEP criteriaup to 90 months

iDFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first event of local invasive breast recurrence, regional invasive recurrence, distant recurrence, death, contralateral invasive breast cancer, or second primary non-breast invasive cancer, and is assessed locally by investigators.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Recurrence-free survival (RFS) using STEEP criteriaup to 90 months

RFS is defined as the time from date of randomization to date of first event of local invasive breast recurrence, regional invasive recurrence, distant recurrence, or death.

Distant disease-free survival (DDFS) using STEEP criteriaup to 90 months

DDFS is defined as the time from date of randomization to date of first event of distant recurrence, death, or second primary non-breast invasive cancer

Overall survival (OS)up to 90 months

OS is defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause.

Quality of Life (QOL)Baseline, 90 months

Change from baseline in the physical functioning sub-scale score and global health status/QOL scale score as assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30
