Bicalutamide Plus Aromatase Inhibitors in ER(+)/AR(+)/HER2(-) Metastatic Breast Cancer (BETTER)

December 21, 2017 updated by: Xu fei

A Phase II Study of the Efficacy and Tolerability of Bicalutamide Plus Aromatase Inhibitors in Estrogen Receptor(+)/Androgen Receptor(+)/HER2(-) Metastatic Breast Cancer

This study is aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bicalutamide and aromatase inhibitor in ER(+)/AR(+)/HER2(-) metastatic breast cancer patients who have disease progression after treatment of an aromatase inhibitor.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Conditions

Detailed Description

Androgen receptor(AR) is closely related to molecular type, treatment and prognosis in breast cancer. Over 70% of breast cancer expressed androgen receptor. And in some estrogen receptor positive breast cancer cells which are resistant to Aromatase inhibitors can change androgen receptor dependent. So AR may be a new target in the treatment of breast cancer. Bicalutamide is a selective androgen receptor inhibitor with a clinical benefit rate of 19% and median progression free survival of 12 weeks in the ER-/AR+ metastatic breast cancer. This study is aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bicalutamide and aromatase inhibitor in ER+/AR+/HER- metastatic breast cancer patients who have disease progression after treatment of an AI.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
clinical benefit rate(CBR)
Time Frame: 24 weeks
Response and progression will be evaluated using RECIST 1.1. Evaluation will occur every 2 months for the first 6 months and then every 3 months till progression or termination of the study.CBR is defined as ratio of participants who have stable disease for over 24 weeks.
24 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
progression free survival
Time Frame: baseline up to approximately 6 months
Time from to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause.
baseline up to approximately 6 months

Time Frame: 24 weeks
objective response rate includes complete response, partial response.
24 weeks
tolerability of bicalutamide plus an Aromatase inhibitor
Time Frame: 2 years
