Current Primary Outcome Measures (submitted: March 21, 2022)

Invasive Disease Free Survival (iDFS) [ Time Frame: 4 years ]

Invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) for the combination of at least 5 years endocrine therapy and 2-year palbociclib treatment versus at least 5 years endocrine therapy alone in patients with histologically confirmed HR+/HER2- invasive early breast cancer (EBC) at 4 years. iDFS is defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first event: local/regional invasive ipsilateral recurrence, contralateral invasive breast cancer, distant recurrence, second primary invasive cancer of non-breast origin or death from any cause. Direct comparison between arms used time to iDFS events and Kaplan-Meier Log-rank analysis. Due to the medians not yet achieved, the percentage of patients considered iDFS at 4 years is reported.

Original Primary Outcome Measures (submitted: July 30, 2015)

Invasive Disease Free Survival (iDFS) [ Time Frame: The expected study duration to primary analysis of iDFS is 4.8 years ]

To compare invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) for the combination of at least 5 years endocrine therapy and 2-year palbociclib treatment versus at least 5 years endocrine therapy alone in patients with histologically confirmed HR+/HER2- invasive early breast cancer (EBC).

Current Secondary Outcome Measures (submitted: March 21, 2022)

• Invasive Disease Free Survival (iDFS) Excluding Second Primary Invasive Cancers of Non-breast Origin. [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
  Invasive disease-free survival (iDFS, excluding second primary invasive cancers of non-breast origin) for the combination of at least 5 years endocrine therapy and 2-year palbociclib treatment versus at least 5 years endocrine therapy alone in patients with histologically confirmed HR+/HER2- invasive early breast cancer (EBC) at 4 years. iDFS excluding second primary invasive cancers of non-breast origin is defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first event: local/regional invasive ipsilateral recurrence, contralateral invasive breast cancer, distant recurrence, or death from any cause. Second primary invasive cancers of non-breast origin will not be considered as events for this endpoint. Direct comparison between arms used time to iDFS events and Kaplan-Meier Log-rank analysis. Due to the medians not yet achieved, the percentage of patients considered iDFS at 4 years is reported.
• Distant Recurrence-free Survival (DRFS) [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
  Compare time to distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS). Distant recurrence is defined according to STEEP criteria as the time from randomization to the date of the first event: distant recurrence or death from any cause. Patients with a locoregional recurrence will continue to be followed for DRFS. Surviving patients who are event-free will be censored at: the date of last disease assessment, or withdrawal of consent to be followed, or death whichever came first. Direct comparison between arms used time to DRFS events and Kaplan-Meier Log-rank analysis. Due to the medians not yet achieved, the percentage of patients considered DRFS at 4 years is reported.
• Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
  Compare overall survival (OS). Overall survival is defined as the time period between randomization and death. Surviving patients classified as lost-to-follow up or having withdrawn consent to be followed will be censored at their date of last contact or withdrawal of consent to be followed, whichever occurs first.
• Locoregional Recurrences-free Survival (LRRFS) [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
  Compare locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS). LRRFS is defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first event: local/regional invasive ipsilateral recurrence, contralateral invasive breast cancer, or death from any cause. Patients with second primary invasive cancers of non-breast origin or distant recurrence will be censored at the date of diagnosis. Surviving patients who are event-free will be censored at: the date of last disease assessment, or withdrawal of consent to be followed, whichever occurs first.

Original Secondary Outcome Measures (submitted: July 30, 2015)

To compare the safety of 2 years of palbociclib with adjuvant endocrine therapy versus adjuvant endocrine therapy alone. (distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS), locoregional recurrences-free survival (LRRFS), and overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: The expected study duration to primary analysis of iDFS is 4.8 years ]

To compare the following endpoints: iDFS excluding second primary cancers of non-breast origin, distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS), locoregional recurrences-free survival (LRRFS), and overall survival (OS).

Descriptive Information

• Brief Title: PALbociclib CoLlaborative Adjuvant Study
• Official Title: PALbociclib CoLlaborative Adjuvant Study: A Randomized Phase III Trial of Palbociclib With Standard Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy Versus Standard Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy Alone for Hormone Receptor Positive (HR+) / Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-Negative Early Breast Cancer

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, two arm, international, multicenter, randomized, open-label Phase III study evaluating the addition of 2 years of palbociclib to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy for patients with HR+ / HER2- early breast cancer (EBC).

The purpose of the PALLAS study is to determine whether the addition of palbociclib to adjuvant endocrine therapy will improve outcomes over endocrine therapy alone for HR+/HER2- early breast cancer. Assessment of a variety of correlative analysis, including evaluation of the effect of palbociclib in genomically defined tumor subgroups, is planned.
