Preoperative Fulvestrant With or Without Enzalutamide in ER+/Her2- Breast Cancer

May 23, 2023 updated by: University of Colorado, Denver

Randomized Phase II Trial of Preoperative Fulvestrant With or Without Enzalutamide in ER+/Her2- Breast Cancer

This is a randomized two arm phase II study to further evaluate the efficacy of fulvestrant plus enza compared to single agent fulvestrant in postmenopausal women with locally advanced AR+/ER+/Her2- BC who will have local surgery after ~4 months on treatment.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized two arm phase II study to further evaluate the efficacy of fulvestrant plus enza compared to single agent fulvestrant in postmenopausal women with locally advanced AR+/ER+/Her2- BC who will have local surgery after ~4 months on treatment. After consent, all patients will get a tissue biopsy, and than half the patients will get fulvestrant alone (standard dosing) and the other half of the patients will get fulvestrant plus enzalutamide. At ~4 weeks, a biopsy will be done and therapy will be continued. Hormone therapy will continue for ~4 months at which point the patients will undergo surgical resection.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Patients With a PEPI Score Equal to Zero at Post Treatment
Time Frame: 16 Weeks

The preoperative endocrine prognostic index (PEPI) is a validated measure of pathologic response to endocrine therapy. It is a model that combines estrogen receptor (ER) level, pathologic tumor site, nodal status, and Ki67 score at the time of surgery to predict subsequent risk of cancer recurrence.

PEPI scoring is typically discretized into three risk groups: 0 (low risk of recurrence and best outcome), 1-3 (intermediate risk), and >= 4 (high risk). This study was concerned only with the distinction between zero and non-zero PEPI scores. Zero is the minimum score, and there is no maximum score. Lower scores are better.

16 Weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease-free Survival
Time Frame: 15 months
Disease-free survival is defined as the time in months from the start of fulvestrant until documented disease progression or death. Complete and partial response for the single drug arm and combination of enzalutamide/fulvestrant arm separately.
15 months
Correlation Between PEPI Score and Disease-free Survival, Clinical Benefit Rate, and Overall Response Rate
Time Frame: 4 years
To assess the association between PEPI score and the clinical, outcomes such as DFS, ORR, clinical benefit for all subjects.
4 years
Androgen Receptor (AR) Expression
Time Frame: 16 Weeks
The strength of AR signaling was measured by the percentage of downstream AR-regulated genes that were expressed.
