High Risk ER+HER2- T1-2N0-1 Early Breast Cancer With Palbociclib Plus Endocrine Therapy(HIPEx)

Single-arm Phase II Study of Palbociclib Plus Endocrine Therapy in Patients With High Risk ER-positive/HER2-negative T1-2N0-1 Early Breast Cancer Incorporating GenesWell™ BCT

This is a phase II, multi-center, single-arm, open-label trial to evaluate efficacy of palbociclib with endocrine therapy as adjuvant treatment in women with C-high/G-high risk ER-positive/HER2-negative T1-2N0-1 EBC(Early Breast Cancer)

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Breast Cancer
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Palbociclib

Detailed Description

The investigators hypothesized that the GenesWell™ BCT may help inform decision about whether or not to have adjuvant chemotherapy to patients with high-risk pN0-N1, ER+/HER2- breast cancer in Korea. While adjuvant therapy for ER-positive EBC is effective in reducing risk of recurrence and improving survival, recurrences are still common, especially in patients with unfavorable factors in terms of clinical, pathological and/or molecular perspectives.

Since the addition of CDK4/6 inhibitor, palbociclib, to endocrine therapy (ET) has proven clinical efficacy with tolerable toxicity profile in ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced BC, its use in the adjuvant setting may decrease risk of recurrences in patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative EBC after surgical resection of the primary tumor by enhancing primary endocrine responsiveness and preventing, or delaying the development of acquired resistance for endocrine therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of addition of palbociclib to standard adjuvant ET on event-free survival (EFS) in patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative EBC but unfavorable clinicopathological (clinical high risk, C-high) and molecular features (genomic high risk, G-high).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
3-year event-free survival	defined to be time from study entry to first event, where the first event is any type of recurrence	up to 3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
overall survival	defined to be time from study entry to the death from any cause. Patients who lost to follow-up or have withdrawn consent to be followed will be censored at their date of last contact or withdrawal of consent to be followed, whichever occurs first.	up to 5 years
Prognostic and predictive effects of BCT	BCT score (of GenesWell™ BCT) as a biomarker to determine the efficacy of palbociclib in combination with endocrine therapy in adjuvant setting in T1-2N0-1 high risk ER+ EBC. Performance analysis of BCT score (of GenesWell™ BCT) about predicting the effectiveness of IP.; BCT Score 0 - 4 (<4) :Low risk (G-low); BCT score 4 - 10 (≥4) High risk (G-high)	up to 5 years
Adverse Events	Toxicity (Adverse Events) will be collected and evaluated according to the NCI CTCAE ver. 5.0	up to 2 years
Quality of Life (QoL)	The QoL will be evaluated using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30, and B-23) -These two tools for measuring quality of life were evaluated on a scale of 100 in accordance with the formula. The higher the score, the better the quality of life, and the higher the score, the more appealing the symptom scale.	up to 5 years
