ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of a medication called abemaciclib when combined with fulvestrant in women who have hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative advanced breast cancer. The main goal is to see if this combination can help women live longer without their cancer getting worse compared to those receiving fulvestrant alone. Women in the trial will be randomly assigned to receive either the combination treatment or a placebo (a treatment without active medication) in a ratio of 2 to 1. The study will last about 9 months for each person.

To participate in this trial, women must have advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative, and they should not have received certain prior treatments for their cancer. Eligible participants should also be postmenopausal, meaning they are no longer having menstrual periods. During the trial, participants can expect regular check-ups to monitor their health and the effects of the treatment. It’s important to know that this trial is currently active but not recruiting new participants.

Eligibility criteria

  • Inclusion Criteria
  • Have a diagnosis of HR+, HER2- breast cancer
  • * Have locally advanced disease not amenable to curative treatment by surgery or metastatic disease. In addition, participants must fulfill 1 of the following criteria:
  • relapsed with radiologic evidence of progression while receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant endocrine therapy, with no subsequent endocrine therapy received following progression
  • relapsed with radiologic evidence of progression within 1 year from completion of adjuvant endocrine therapy, with no subsequent endocrine therapy received following progression
  • relapsed with radiologic evidence of progression more than 1 year from completion of adjuvant endocrine therapy and then subsequently relapsed with radiologic evidence of progression after receiving treatment with either an antiestrogen or an aromatase inhibitor as first-line endocrine therapy for metastatic disease. Participants may not have received more than 1 line of endocrine therapy or any prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease
  • presented de novo with metastatic disease and then relapsed with radiologic evidence of progression after receiving treatment with either an antiestrogen or an aromatase inhibitor as first line endocrine therapy for metastatic disease. Participants may not have received more than 1 line of endocrine therapy or any prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease
  • for the endocrine naïve cohort: Must not have received prior endocrine therapy in current or prior disease setting
  • Have postmenopausal status due to either surgical/natural menopause or ovarian suppression (initiated at least 28 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1) with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist such as goserelin
  • Have a negative serum pregnancy test at baseline (within 14 days prior to randomization) and agree to use medically approved precautions to prevent pregnancy during the study and for 12 weeks following the last dose of abemaciclib if postmenopausal status is due to ovarian suppression with a GnRH agonist
  • Have either measurable disease or nonmeasurable bone only disease
  • Have a performance status ≤1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale
  • Have discontinued previous therapies for cancer (including specifically, aromatase inhibitors, anti-estrogens, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy) for at least 21 days for myelosuppressive agents or 14 days for nonmyelosuppressive agents prior to receiving study drug, and recovered from the acute effects of therapy (until the toxicity resolves to either baseline or at least Grade 1) except for residual alopecia or peripheral neuropathy
  • Exclusion Criteria
  • Are currently receiving an investigational drug in a clinical trial or participating in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study
  • Have visceral crisis, lymphangitic spread, or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis visceral crisis is not the mere presence of visceral metastases but implies severe organ dysfunction as assessed by symptoms and signs, laboratory studies, and rapid progression of the disease
  • Have clinical evidence or history of central nervous system metastasis
  • Have received prior treatment with chemotherapy (except for neoadjuvant/ adjuvant chemotherapy), fulvestrant, everolimus, or any CDK4/6 inhibitor. For the endocrine naïve cohort: In addition, have received treatment with any prior endocrine therapy
  • Have received treatment with a drug that has not received regulatory approval for any indication within 14 or 21 days prior to randomization of study drug for a nonmyelosuppressive or myelosuppressive agent, respectively
  • Have received recent (within 28 days prior to randomization) yellow fever vaccination
  • Have had major surgery within 14 days prior to randomization of study drug to allow for post-operative healing of the surgical wound and site(s)
  • Have a personal history within the last 12 months of any of the following conditions: syncope of cardiovascular etiology, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or sudden cardiac arrest
  • Have inflammatory breast cancer or a history of any other cancer (except nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in-situ of the cervix), unless in complete remission with no therapy for a minimum of 3 years
  • Have received an autologous or allogeneic stem-cell transplant
  • Have active bacterial or fungal infection, or detectable viral infection
  • Have initiated bisphosphonates or approved Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (RANK) ligand targeted agents \<7 days prior to randomization
