Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Ribociclib (LEE011) in Combination With Letrozole for the Treatment of Men and Pre/Postmenopausal Women With HR+ HER2- aBC (COMPLEEMENT-1)

October 23, 2023 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

COMPLEEMENT-1: An Open-label, Multicenter, Phase IIIb Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Ribociclib (LEE011) in Combination With Letrozole for the Treatment of Men and Pre/Postmenopausal Women With Hormone Receptor-positive (HR+) HER2-negative (HER2-) Advanced Breast Cancer (aBC) With no Prior Hormonal Therapy for Advanced Disease

The purpose of this study is to collect additional safety and efficacy data for the combination of ribociclib + letrozole in men and pre/postmenopausal women with HR+HER2- advanced breast cancer and no prior hormonal treatment for advanced disease..

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This was an open-label, single arm, multi-center Phase IIIb study. The study was composed of 2 phases: Core Phase and Extension Phase. In the Core Phase, safety and efficacy data was collected. The study treatment during the Core Phase was provided until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicities, physician's decision, subject/guardian's decision, protocol deviation, study termination by sponsor, lost to follow-up, technical problems or up to 18 months after LPFV.

In the event that patients were still deriving benefit at the end of the Core phase and ribociclib was not approved or available and reimbursed, patients were transitioned to the Extension Phase and continued to receive study treatment until progression, intolerance, death or physician/patient decision. Only safety and clinical benefit (as assessed by investigator) data was collected in the Extension Phase. During the Extension Phase, if ribociclib became locally approved and reimbursed, patients were to be transitioned to prescription. Patients who completed the Extension Phase and continued to derive clinical benefit from the treatment based on the investigator's evaluation received ribociclib from prescription (if approved and reimbursed), another post-trial access program, or other drug access/support program(s).

Canadian sub-study: this sub-study was a multicenter Canadian exploratory correlative sample collection sub-study that aimed to better understand mechanisms of response and resistance to ribociclib in combination with letrozole therapy. This sub-study was available for all Canadian subjects enrolled on the main study and did not alter the planned treatment.

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female advanced (locoregionally recurrent or metastatic) breast cancer not amenable to curative therapy.
  • In the case of women, both pre/perimenopausal and postmenopausal patients were allowed to be included in this study; menopausal status was relevant for the requirement of goserelin to be used concomitantly with ribociclib and letrozole.

    1. Postmenopausal status was defined either by: I).Prior bilateral oophorectomy OR ii). Age ≥ 60 OR iii). Age < 60 and amenorrhea for 12 or more months (in the absence of chemotherapy, tamoxifen, toremifen, or ovarian suppression) and FSH and estradiol in the postmenopausal range per local normal range. If patient was taking tamoxifen or toremifene and age < 60, then FSH and plasma estradiol levels would be in post-menopausal range per local normal range (NCCN Guidelines version 2.2017).

      Note: For women with therapy-induced amenorrhea, serial measurements of FSH and/or estradiol were needed to ensure menopausal status.

    2. Premenopausal status was defined as either: I).Patient had last menstrual period within the last 12 months OR ii). If on tamoxifen or toremifene within the past 14 days, plasma estradiol and FSH must be in the premenopausal range per local normal range OR iii). In case of therapy induced amenorrhea, plasma estradiol and/or FSH must be in the premenopausal range per local normal range.
    3. Perimenopausal status was define as neither premenopausal nor postmenopausal
  • Patient had a histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of estrogen-receptor positive and/or progesterone receptor positive breast cancer by local laboratory.
  • Patient had HER2-negative breast cancer defined as a negative in situ hybridization test or an IHC status of 0, 1+ or 2+. If IHC is 2+, a negative in situ hybridization (FISH, CISH, or SISH) test was required by local laboratory testing.
  • Patient had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤2
  • Patient had adequate bone marrow and organ function as defined by ALL of the following laboratory values (as assessed by local laboratory):

Letrozole was procured locally and administered orally once a day on a continuous daily schedule at a dose of 2.5 mg
Goserelin was procured locally and administered in men and premenopausal women as an injectable subcutaneous implant administered on day 1 starting at Cycle 1 and then every 28 days at a dose of 3.6 mg (cycle = 28 days)
Leuprolide was procured locally and administered in men and premenopausal women as an injectable intramuscular depot administered on day 1 starting at Cycle 1 and then every 28 days at a dose of 7.5 mg (cycle= 28 days)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs) During Treatment With Ribociclib + Letrozole in the Core Phase
Time Frame: From start of treatment up to 30 days after last treatment (for participants who did not enter to the Extension phase) or up to last treatment in the Core phase (for participants who entered the Extension phase), assessed up to approximately 33 months.

AEs were defined as the appearance of (or worsening of any pre-existing) undesirable sign(s), symptom(s), or medical condition(s).

SAEs were defined as meeting at least 1 of the following criteria: is fatal or life-threatening, Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, constitutes a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is medically significant, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. A SAE which caused death of the participant was considered as fatal SAE.

AEs were assessed and graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. Grade 1 to 5 were used to characterize the severity of the Adverse Event. Grade 1: mild; Grade 2: moderate; Grade 3: severe; Grade 4: life-threatening and Grade 5: death related to AE.

A participant with multiple severity grades for an AE is only counted under the maximum grade.

From start of treatment up to 30 days after last treatment (for participants who did not enter to the Extension phase) or up to last treatment in the Core phase (for participants who entered the Extension phase), assessed up to approximately 33 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time-to-Progression (TTP) Based on Investigator's Assessment (Core Phase)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 33 months

Time to progression (TTP) is defined as time from date of start of treatment to the date of first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer. Participants with symptoms of rapidly progressing disease without radiologic evidence were classified as progression only when clear evidence of clinical deterioration was documented and/or patient discontinued due to 'Disease progression' or death due to study indication. When there was no documentation of radiologic evidence of progression, and the patient discontinued for 'Disease progression' due to documented clinical deterioration of disease, the date of discontinuation was used as date of progression.

TTP was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. 95% CI of median was calculated according to Brookmeyer and Crowley method.

Up to approximately 33 months
Overall Response Rate (ORR) Based on Investigator's Assessment (Core Phase)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 33 months

Overall response rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of participants with best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1 based on investigator's assessment.

CR: Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.

95% CI was calculated using the exact binomial method.

Up to approximately 33 months
Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) Based on Investigator's Assessment (Core Phase)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 33 months

Clinical benefit rate (CBR) is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR), or partial response (PR) or an overall lesion response of stable disease (SD), lasting as per local review, for a duration of at least 24 weeks. CR, PR and SD are defined according to RECIST 1.1 based on investigator's assessment.

CR: Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.

SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for progressive disease.

95% CI was calculated using the exact binomial method.

Up to approximately 33 months
Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Breast (FACT-B) Score (Core Phase)
Time Frame: On Day 1 of Cycle 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and after that every 3 cycles, and End of treatment, assessed up to 33 months. Cycle=28 days

Change from baseline in FACT-B scores was assessed. FACT-B is a self-report instrument that measures multidimensional quality of life (QOL) in patients with breast cancer. The FACT-B consists of 37 questions that address physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being, with specific questions relevant to women with breast cancer. Each item has a score range of 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much), with a total score ranging from 0-148. The higher the score, the better the QOL reported by the participant. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement in QoL.

Due to the nature of the questionnaire, only females were asked to complete this questionnaire.

On Day 1 of Cycle 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and after that every 3 cycles, and End of treatment, assessed up to 33 months. Cycle=28 days
Number of Participants With AEs and SAEs in the Extension Phase
Time Frame: From first dose of treatment in the Extension phase up to 30 days after last dose of treatment, assessed up approximately 37.6 months

AEs were defined as the appearance of (or worsening of any pre-existing) undesirable sign(s), symptom(s), or medical condition(s).

SAEs were defined as meeting at least 1 of the following criteria: is fatal or life-threatening, Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, constitutes a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is medically significant, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization.

AEs were assessed and graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. Grade 1 to 5 were used to characterize the severity of the Adverse Event. Grade 1: mild; Grade 2: moderate; Grade 3: severe; Grade 4: life-threatening and Grade 5: death related to AE.

A participant with multiple severity grades for an AE is only counted under the maximum grade.

From first dose of treatment in the Extension phase up to 30 days after last dose of treatment, assessed up approximately 37.6 months
Number of Participants With Clinical Benefit (Extension Phase)
Time Frame: On Day 1 of every 3 cycles, starting from Cycle 1 of the Extension phase until end of treatment, assessed up to 37.4 months. Cycle= 28 days
Clinical benefit as assessed by the Investigator during Extension phase
On Day 1 of every 3 cycles, starting from Cycle 1 of the Extension phase until end of treatment, assessed up to 37.4 months. Cycle= 28 days

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Canadian Sub-study: Proteomic Analysis of Ribociclib and Letrozole Cohort Not Achieving Clinical Benefit Compared to a Cohort Sensitive to Treatment With Ribociclib and Letrozole
Time Frame: Screening (up to 28 days before first dose of study treatment)
Exploratory analysis performed in archival tumor samples collected during screening in the main study. Protein expression levels of the ribociclib plus letrozole cohort that did not achieve clinical benefit (progression within 3 months of treatment) and the cohort sensitive to ribociclib and letrozole (cohort with a time to progression of 22 months or more) were determined using using Single-Pot, Solid-Phase-enhanced, Sample Preparation-Clinical Tissue Proteomics (SP3-CTP). For normalization purposes a pooled internal standard sample, comprised of aliquots of every sample included in the study, was included in each experimental batch. Protein abundances were calculated as the log2 transformed abundances relative to the pooled internal standard. Positive values represent higher protein expression levels compared to the pooled internal standard. Expression levels of proteins that showed association to predicting response to study treatment are presented.
