Phase 3, open-label, randomized study comparing 3-monthly with monthly goserelin in pre-menopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive advanced breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Monthly goserelin 3.6 mg dosing suppresses estradiol (E2) production and has proven efficacy in pre-menopausal women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. This non-inferiority study evaluated the efficacy and safety of 3-monthly goserelin 10.8 mg compared with monthly goserelin 3.6 mg.

Methods

This was a Phase 3, open-label, multicenter trial. Pre-menopausal women with ER-positive advanced breast cancer were randomized to 3-monthly goserelin 10.8 mg or monthly goserelin 3.6 mg; all patients received concomitant tamoxifen (20 mg daily). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 24 weeks; non-inferiority was to be confirmed if the entire 95 % confidence interval (CI) for the treatment difference was above -17.5 %. Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), serum E2 levels, safety, and tolerability.

Results

In total, 222 patients were randomized (goserelin 10.8 mg, n = 109; goserelin 3.6 mg, n = 113). PFS rate at week 24 was 61.5 % (goserelin 10.8 mg) and 60.2 % (goserelin 3.6 mg); treatment difference (95 % CI) was 1.3 % (-11.4, 13.9), confirming non-inferiority of goserelin 10.8 mg compared with goserelin 3.6 mg. ORR was 23.9 % (goserelin 10.8 mg) and 26.9 % (goserelin 3.6 mg); treatment difference (95 % CI) was -3.0 % (-15.5, 9.7). At week 24, mean serum E2 concentrations were similar in the goserelin 10.8 mg and goserelin 3.6 mg groups (20.3 pg/mL and 24.8 pg/mL, respectively).

Conclusion

A regimen of 3-monthly goserelin 10.8 mg demonstrated non-inferiority compared with monthly goserelin 3.6 mg for PFS rate at 24 weeks, with similar pharmacodynamic and safety profiles, in pre-menopausal women with ER-positive breast cancer.

Project description:In this study, we aimed to evaluate axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) rates and prognosis in neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) compare with neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-), lymph node (LN)-positive, premenopausal breast cancer patients (NCT01622361). The multicenter, phase 3, randomized clinical trial enrolled 187 women from July 5, 2012, to May 30, 2017. The patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either 24 weeks of NCT including adriamycin plus cyclophosphamide followed by intravenous docetaxel, or NET involving goserelin acetate and daily tamoxifen. ALND was performed based on the surgeon's decision. The primary endpoint was ALND rate and surgical outcome after preoperative treatment. The secondary endpoint was long-term survival. Among the 187 randomized patients, pre- and post- neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) assessments were available for 170 patients. After NST, 49.4% of NCT patients and 55.4% of NET patients underwent mastectomy after treatment completion. The rate of ALND was significantly lower in the NCT group than in the NET group (55.2% vs. 69.9%, P=.046). Following surgery, the NET group showed a significantly higher mean number of removed LNs (14.96 vs. 11.74, P=.003) and positive LNs (4.84 vs. 2.92, P=.000) than the NCT group. The axillary pathologic complete response (pCR) rate was significantly higher in the NCT group (13.8% vs. 4.8%, P=.045) than in the NET group. During a median follow-up of 67.3 months, 19 patients in the NCT group and 12 patients in the NET group reported recurrence. The 5-year ARFS (97.5%vs. 100%, P=.077), DFS (77.2% vs. 84.8%, P=.166), and OS (97.5% vs. 94.7%, P=.304) rates did not differ significantly between the groups. In conclusion, although survival did not differ significantly, more NCT patients might able to avoid ALND, with fewer LNs removed with lower LN positivity.Clinical trial registrationhttps://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01622361, identifier NCT01622361.

Project description:Background[18F]2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18FDG-PET/CT) has high sensitivity for detecting recurrences of colorectal cancer (CRC). Our objective was to determine whether adding routine 6-monthly 18FDG-PET/CT to our usual monitoring strategy improved patient outcomes and to assess the effect on costs.Patients and methodsIn this open-label multicentre trial, patients in remission of CRC (stage II perforated, stage III, or stage IV) after curative surgery were randomly assigned (1 : 1) to usual monitoring alone (3-monthly physical and tumour marker assays, 6-monthly liver ultrasound and chest radiograph, and 6-monthly whole-body computed tomography) or with 6-monthly 18FDG-PET/CT, for 3 years. A multidisciplinary committee reviewed each patient's data every 3 months and classified the recurrence status as yes/no/doubtful. Recurrences were treated with curative surgery alone if feasible and with chemotherapy otherwise. The primary end point was treatment failure defined as unresectable recurrence or death. Relative risks were estimated, and survival was analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and Cox models. Direct costs were compared.ResultsOf the 239 enrolled patients, 120 were in the intervention arm and 119 in the control arm. The failure rate was 29.2% (31 unresectable recurrences and 4 deaths) in the intervention group and 23.7% (27 unresectable recurrences and 1 death) in the control group (relative risk = 1.23; 95% confidence interval, 0.80-1.88; P = 0.34). The multivariate analysis also showed no significant difference (hazards ratio, 1.33; 95% confidence interval, 0.8-2.19; P = 0.27). Median time to diagnosis of unresectable recurrence (months) was significantly shorter in the intervention group [7 (3-20) versus 14.3 (7.3-27), P = 0.016]. Mean cost/patient was higher in the intervention group (18 192 ± 27 679 € versus 11 131 ± 13 €, P < 0.033).Conclusion18FDG-PET/CT, when added every 6 months, increased costs without decreasing treatment failure rates in patients in remission of CRC. The control group had very close follow-up, and any additional improvement (if present) would be small and hard to detect.Clinicaltrials.gov identifierNCT00624260.

Project description:BackgroundEnsartinib, a potent second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that targets anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), MET and ROS1, was evaluated in a phase I clinical trial in patients with advanced, ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsPatients with advanced, ALK or ROS1-positive NSCLC were recruited from 2 centers in China. This study consisted of dose escalation and expansion stages. Patients were treated with oral ensartinib [dosage of escalation stage was from 150, 200, 225 to 250 mg per day, expansion stage was recommended phase II dose (RP2D)] in continuous 28-day cycles. The primary objectives were safety, dose limited toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and RP2D based on tolerability. Key secondary objectives included pharmacokinetic (PK) and anti-tumor activity.ResultsForty-eight patients were enrolled, 37 (77.1%) were ALK TKI-naïve, 11 (22.9%) patients had previously received crizotinib, ceritinib or alectinib. Ensartinib was well tolerated and common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) included rash (87.5%), transaminase elevation (60.4%), pruritus (45.8%) and creatinine elevation (35.4%). The top 3 grade 3-5 TRAEs were rash (14.6%), elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (12.5%) and aspartate transaminase (AST) (4.2%). Two DLTs were observed in 250 mg, so MTD and RP2D was 225 mg per day. Ensartinib was moderately absorbed (median Tmax: 3.00-4.00 h) and slowly eliminated (mean T1/2: 21.0-30.2 h). The area under the curve (AUC) of ensartinib reached saturation at 200 to 225 mg and no major accumulation after daily administration. For all patients, the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rates (DCR) were 64.6 % and 81.3%, median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 16.79 months. In subgroup analysis, the ORR and mPFS was 81.3% and 45.5%, 25.73 and 4.14 months in TKI-naïve and -treated ALK+ patients, respectively. The intra-cranial ORR and mPFS for patients with measurable brain metastases were 66.7% and 22.90 months. ALK abundance may predict the efficacy of ensartinib. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed specific signaling pathways enrichment in long and short progression-free survival (PFS) groups.ConclusionsEnsartinib was well tolerated under 225 mg (MTD) and demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity in ALK+ NSCLC patients, including those with CNS metastases and those previously TKI-treated.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT02959619.

Project description:BackgroundLow-grade serous and endometrioid ovarian cancers and adult-type granulosa cell tumors are rare ovarian malignancies that show high estrogen receptor positivity. Recurrences of these subtypes of ovarian cancer are often treated with conventional chemotherapy, although response rates are disappointing.Primary objectiveTo determine the overall response rate of the combination therapy of abemaciclib and letrozole in patients with estrogen receptor-positive rare ovarian cancers.Study hypothesisThe combination therapy of abemaciclib and letrozole will provide a clinically meaningful therapeutic benefit, with an overall response rate of >25%.Trial designThis is a phase II, international, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of abemaciclib and letrozole in patients with advanced, recurrent, and/or metastatic estrogen receptor-positive, rare ovarian cancer. The study will follow a tandem two-stage design.Major inclusion/exclusion criteriaPatients must have histologically confirmed low-grade serous/endometrioid ovarian cancer or adult-type granulosa cell tumor with estrogen receptor positivity on immunohistochemistry. Patients need to have recurrent and measurable disease according to Radiologic Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. A maximum of two prior lines of endocrine therapy are allowed, and patients cannot have previously received a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. Patients with platinum-refractory disease are not allowed in any stage of the study.Primary endpointInvestigator-assessed confirmed overall response rate, defined as the proportion of patients with a complete or partial response according to RECIST v1.1.Sample size40 to 100 patients will be included, depending on the results of the interim analysis. Patients will be included in Belgium, France and the Netherlands.Estimated dates for completing accrual and presenting resultsPatient recruitment will be completed by the end of 2025 and reporting of the final study results will be done by the end of 2027.Trial registration numberNCT05872204.
