Metastatic Breast Cancer | Drug: Elacestrant | Phase 2 |
This is a Phase 2 trial evaluating the efficacy of elacestrant in patients with estrogen receptor positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (HER2-) advanced/metastatic breast cancer who received one or two prior hormonal therapies and no prior cyclin-dependent kinase targeting enzymes CDK4 and CDK6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) in the metastatic setting.
The study duration for each patient is estimated to be:
- Screening Phase: Up to 21 days prior to Cycle 1, Day 1 (C1/D1);
- Treatment Phase: From C1/D1 until the date of radiologically documented progression, or treatment discontinuation due to other reasons.
- Survival Follow-Up Phase: All patients will be followed for survival approximately every 3 months up to 24 months after enrollment of the last patient.
Patients will be followed for AEs for 28 days after the last treatment administration.

- Duration of response [ Time Frame: 36 months ]Time from the date of first documented complete response or partial response until the first radiological documentation of disease progression or death, whichever comes first
- Clinical benefit rate [ Time Frame: 36 months ]Proportion of patients who achieve a best overall response of confirmed complete response or partial response or durable stable disease (duration at least 24 weeks from date of first dose)
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: 36 months ]Time from the date of the first dose to the date of the first radiological documentation of disease progression or death, whichever comes first
- Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: 36 months ]Time from the date of the first dose to the date of the first radiological documentation of disease progression or death, whichever comes first

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient has signed the informed consent before all study specific activities are conducted.
-
Women or men aged ≥18 years (or the minimum age of consent as per local law), at the time of informed consent signature. Female patients may be either postmenopausal or premenopausal or perimenopausal.
- Premenopausal or perimenopausal women and men must be concurrently given a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist starting at least 4 weeks before the start of trial therapy and is planning to continue LHRH during the study.
- For perimenopausal women to be considered of non-childbearing potential, FSH levels must be >40 mIU/mL.
- Documentation of histopathologically or cytologically confirmed ER+, HER2-breast cancer, per local laboratory, as per the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines (Allison et al, 2020, Wolff et al, 2018). Note: In the context of this trial, ER status will be considered positive if ≥10% of tumor cells demonstrate positive nuclear staining by immunohistochemistry.
- Patient has received at least one (and up to two) prior hormonal therapy in the advanced/metastatic setting.
- At least one measurable lesion as per RECIST version 1.1 or a mainly lytic bone lesion. Note: Patients with stable brain or subdural metastases are allowed if the patient has completed local therapy and was on a stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroids at baseline for management of brain metastasis for at least 4 weeks before starting treatment in this study. The dose must be ≤2.0 mg/day of dexamethasone or equivalent. Any signs (e.g., radiologic) or symptoms of brain metastases must be stable for at least 4 weeks before starting study treatment.
- ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
-
Patient has adequate bone marrow and organ function, as defined by the following laboratory values:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 × 109/L
- Platelets ≥100 × 109/L
- Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL
- Potassium, sodium, calcium (corrected for serum albumin) and magnesium CTCAE grade ≤1
- Cockcroft-Gault based creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min. Note: Creatinine clearance (male) = ([140-age in years] × weight in kg)/ ([serum creatinine in mg/dL] × 72) Creatinine clearance (female) = (0.85 × [140-age in years] × weight in kg)/ ([serum creatinine in mg/dL] × 72)
- Serum albumin ≥3.0 g/dL (≥30 g/L)
