Prospective, open label, multicenter, group sequential response adaptive randomized phase 2 study, comparing two treatments for locally advanced or metastatic luminal breast cancer:
- Arm A: concomitant cyclin-dependent Kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor (palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib) plus endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor [AI] or fulvestrant)
- Arm B: chemotherapy plus endocrine therapy (AI or fulvestrant, administered either concomitantly from the beginning of chemotherapy or sequentially after 4-6 months of chemotherapy) Treatments will continue until disease progression or toxicity or patient refusal.

Group sequential response adaptive randomized clinical trial of concomitant chemotherapy plus endocrine therapy versus cyclin-dependent Kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor plus endocrine therapy for advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer Primary Objective: To compare the efficacy of concomitant CDK4/6 inhibitor plus endocrine therapy versus chemotherapy plus endocrine therapy (administered either concomitantly from the beginning or sequentially) in terms of progression-free survival (PFS).
Secondary objectives: To compare between treatment arms:
- quality of life (EORTC quality of life questionnaire(QLQ) QLQ -C30 and QLQ-BR23)
- toxicity (CTCAE version 5.0)
- time to treatment failure
- best response rate
- duration of response
- clinical benefit rate
- overall survival (OS)
- PFS and clinical benefit with the subsequent line of treatment after cross-over: CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine therapy in patients treated with chemotherapy plus endocrine therapy, chemotherapy (with or without endocrine therapy) in patients treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine therapy
-
correlative biomarkers of response to CDK4/6 inhibitors and chemotherapy:
- tissue markers (on the primary tumor and / or metastatic tissue)
- circulating markers (e.g. CTCs, ctDNA)
The patients will be allocated according to block randomization until two events are observed in each arm, and then according to the time-to-event adaptation of the group sequential Doubly-adaptive Biased Coin Design (DBCD) whose allocation probabilities are computed at the end of the block randomization and after around 70% and 85% of the 150 maximum patients are enrolled during a 23 month period. At these last two (i.e. after 105 and 128 patients, respectively), interim analysis on efficacy will be carried out allowing for early stopping. At the end of the 16-month follow up, administrative censoring is introduced. Therefore, the total study duration is 39 months.
Previous results on palbociclib and fulvestrant combination in second line and the characteristics of our target population lead us to assume a median PFS of 8 and 12 months for arm A and B, respectively. Under this scenario, for a sample size of at the most 150 patients, the proposed design strategy has led to a simulated power of 0.911 compared with a 0.717 one for the Complete Randomisation design.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histological diagnosis of HR-positive (ER ≥10% of tumor cells), HER2-negative breast cancer, determined by local laboratory on most recent available tumor tissue.
- Locally advanced (not susceptible to locoregional therapy) or metastatic disease (herein globally defined as "advanced breast cancer (ABC)").
-
At least one of the following signs of disease aggressiveness:
- The main criteria are a low expression of ER (10% ≤ ER < 50%) and/or a relapse while on the first 2 years of adjuvant endocrine therapy or disease progression (PD) within the first 6 months of first-line endocrine therapy for ABC
- Other tumor characteristics of aggressiveness that make the patient potentially candidate to chemotherapy, according to the guidelines of the Italian Association of Medical Oncology [AIOM guidelines 2017], such as: elevated Ki67 (preferably documented, if available, on a metastatic biopsy), low expression of hormone receptors (e.g. progesterone receptor <20%), extended visceral involvement or visceral involvement at risk for organ failure, uncontrolled symptoms; these patients are eligible if chemotherapy is considered a suitable option by the treating physician.
- Postmenopausal women, or premenopausal women undergoing treatment with LHRH analog, or men (either receiving treatment with LHRH analog or not).
- Measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, or not measurable but evaluable disease.
- Any prior adjuvant chemotherapy or endocrine therapy
- No prior chemotherapy for advanced disease.
- Up to one prior line of endocrine therapy for ABC.

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Prior history of non-breast malignancy (except for adequately controlled basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, in situ carcinoma of the bladder), unless treated with curative intent and disease free for at least 3 years.
