Phase III Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial Evaluating the Use of Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy +/- One Year of Everolimus in Patients With High-Risk, Hormone Receptor-Positive and HER2/Neu Negative Breast Cancer

Description

Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen citrate, goserelin acetate, leuprolide acetate, anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane, may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet know whether hormone therapy is more effective when given with or without everolimus in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial studies how well giving hormone therapy together with or without everolimus work in treating patients with breast cancer.


Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES: Primary - To compare whether the addition of one year of everolimus (10 mg daily) to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy improves invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) in patients with high-risk, hormone-receptor (HR)-positive, and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2-negative breast cancer. Secondary - To compare whether the addition of one year of everolimus to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy improves overall survival (OS) and distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) in this patient population. - To evaluate the safety, toxicities, and tolerability of one year of everolimus in combination with standard adjuvant endocrine therapy and to compare it with standard adjuvant endocrine therapy plus placebo in this patient population. - To determine whether the benefit of one year of everolimus use in addition to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy varies by recurrence score (RS), nodal status, or other commonly used prognostic factors. - To evaluate adherence to 1-year treatment of everolimus in comparison to placebo in addition to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy in this patient population. - To collect specimens in order to evaluate biomarkers of therapeutic efficacy. (exploratory) OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to risk level (node-negative and recurrence score [RS] > 25 in the primary tumor, and a tumor measuring ≥ 2 cm in greatest diameter treated with adjuvant therapy vs 1-3 positive lymph nodes and RS > 25 treated with adjuvant therapy vs ≥ 4 positive lymph nodes [any RS value] treated with adjuvant therapy vs ≥ 4 positive lymph nodes [any RS value] prior to or after neoadjuvant chemotherapy). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients receive an approved endocrine therapy comprising tamoxifen citrate*, goserelin acetate** or leuprolide acetate**, or aromatase inhibitor (anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane) for 2-5 years. Patients also receive a placebo orally (PO) daily for 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. - Arm II: Patients receive an approved endocrine therapy regimen as in arm I. Patients also receive everolimus PO daily for 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. NOTE: *Men receive tamoxifen citrate PO for 5 years. NOTE: **Goserelin acetate or leuprolide acetate is given if patient is or becomes postmenopausal. Blood and tissue samples are collected for biomarker studies. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 2 years and then yearly thereafter for 10 years.

Phase

N/A

Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria

  • - Patients must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of invasive breast carcinoma with positive estrogen (ER)- and/or progesterone-receptor (PR) status, and negative human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2, for whom standard adjuvant endocrine therapy is planned - ER and PR positivity must be assessed according to American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines as either ER or PR ≥ 1% positive nuclear staining - HER2 test result negativity must be assessed as per ASCO/CAP 2013 guidelines using IHC, ISH or both. HER2 is negative if a single test (or all tests) performed in a tumor specimen show:
  • IHC negative (0 or 1+)
  • ISH negative using single probe or dual probe. If IHC is 2+, evaluation for gene amplification (ISH) must be performed and the ISH must be negative; ISH is not required if IHC is 0 or 1+. HER2 equivocal is not eligible. - Patients must not have metastatic breast cancer (stage IV disease); patients with multifocal, multicentric, and synchronous bilateral, and primary inflammatory breast cancers are allowed - Multifocal disease is defined as more than one invasive cancer < 2 cm from the largest lesion within the same breast quadrant - Multicentric disease is defined as more than one invasive cancer ≥ 2 cm from the largest lesion within the same breast quadrant or more than one lesion in different quadrants - Synchronous bilateral disease is defined as invasive breast cancer with positive lymph nodes (axillary or intramammary) in at least one breast, diagnosed within 30 days of each other - Patients must be high risk by belonging to one of the following risk groups: - Completion of adjuvant chemotherapy and pathologically negative axillary nodes, and a tumor measuring ≥ 2 cm in greatest diameter, and an Oncotype DX
