Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the impact on objective tumor response rate (using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] criteria) with the addition of fulvestrant to alisertib in women with endocrine resistant, advanced estrogen receptor positive breast cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety profile of each treatment regimen. II. To assess the impact on median progression-free survival with the addition of fulvestrant to alisertib.
III. To obtain estimated tumor response rate and the median progression-free survival time during alisertib and fulvestrant treatment in the cohort of patients who progress during alisertib monotherapy, and crossover to receive the combination of alisertib and fulvestrant.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the changes in aurora A kinase, SMAD5 and SOX2 expression and phosphorylation in tumor tissue after first cycle of assigned treatment.
II. To assess the changes in estrogen receptor (ER) expression and function in tumor tissue after the first cycle of assigned treatment.
III. To generate patient derived xenografts (PDX) from tumors collected at baseline and progression of disease (PD) in order to identify mechanisms associated with both de novo and acquired alisertib resistance.
IV. After the first cycle of treatment, to assess changes in aurora A kinase, phosphorylated (p)~SOX2 and ER expression on circulating tumor cells (CTCs), and to assess concordance between change in expression with tumor tissue and CTCs.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive alisertib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-3, 8-10, and 15-17. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with disease progression, may cross-over to Arm II.
ARM II: Patients receive fulvestrant intramuscularly (IM) over 1-2 minutes on days 1 and 15 of course 1 and on day 1 of all subsequent courses. Patients also receive alisertib PO BID on days 1-3, 8-10, and 15-17. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for up to 5 years.

For arm I, tumor response rate is defined as 100% times the number of patients who meet the criteria for CR or PR on 2 consecutive evaluations approximately 8 weeks apart during treatment with alisertib monotherapy divided by the number of patients who started alisertib monotherapy.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Biomarkers and ER alpha expression assessed using tumor tissue
Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks
|
Spearman rank correlation coefficient will be used to examine the association between ER alpha expression and the biomarkers: CD44, CD24, total and phosphorylated expression of AURKA, SMAD5, and SOX2.
A two sample test of the difference in proportions will be used to examine whether weak or no phosphorylated expression of AURKA, SMAD5, and SOX2 after one cycle of alisertib is associated with clinical benefit (CR + PR + stable disease on treatment for at least 6 months).
|
Up to 4 weeks
|
Change in blood biomarker levels
Time Frame: Baseline to 28 days
|
Percent change in CTC expression of aurora A kinase, ER, and phospho- SOX2 expression from pre-treatment levels will be determined for each patient.
Bland-Altman plots and weighted kappa statistics will be used to examine the concordance between the percent change in aurora A kinase, ER, and phospho-SOX2 expression from pre-treatment levels in CTC and in tumor tissue.
|
Baseline to 28 days
|
Change in tumor biomarker levels
Time Frame: Baseline to 28 days
|
Spearman rank correlation coefficient will be used to examine the association of maximum percentage of tumor shrinkage during treatment with the percent change after 1 cycle of treatment in aurora A Kinase (AAK) expressing cells, as well as percent changes after 1 cycle of treatment in tissue ER alpha, SMAD5, SOX2 expression and phosphorylation.
|
Baseline to 28 days
|
Clinical benefit rate (CBR) during initial treatment defined as proportion of patients who completed 6 courses of treatment without documentation of disease progression
Time Frame: At 24 weeks
|
For initial treatment in each arm, the CBR at 24 weeks will be defined as the proportion of patients who completed 6 cycles of treatment without documentation of disease progression.
A 90% confidence interval for the CBR will be constructed using the Duffy-Santner approach to take into account the sequential nature of the study design.
|
At 24 weeks
|
Duration of response defined as time from randomization to disease progression among those patients whose disease meets the RECIST criteria for CR or PR on 2 consecutive evaluations approximately 8 weeks apart during initial treatment
Time Frame: Up to 5 years

Up to 5 years
|
Incidence of adverse events graded by Common Terminology Criteria-Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0
Time Frame: Up to 30 days after last administration of study drug
|
The CTCAE version 4.0 will be used to grade and assign attribution to each adverse event reported during initial treatment and crossover treatment separately.
