Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

A Phase II study to investigate the potential utility of PD 0332991 in the treatment of early stage ER+ Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)- breast cancer, to investigate whether the combination of PD 0332991 and anastrozole is able to: 1) improve the pathologic complete response rate when compared to the historical control of single agent aromatase inhibitors, 2) result in fewer patients with on therapy Ki67\>10% compared to historical control.

Treatment Details

Interventions

  • Anastrozole (Hormone Therapy)
  • PD 0332991 (CDK4/6 Inhibitor)
  • Surgery (Procedure)
  • Tumor biopsy (Procedure)
Trial OverviewThe trial tests if PD0332991 combined with anastrozole improves response rates in breast cancer compared to aromatase inhibitors alone. It also checks if fewer patients have high levels of Ki67, indicating cell proliferation, after treatment. The study includes surgery as standard care and tumor biopsies.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm 3: Endocrine Resistant CohortExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
* Tumor biopsy for testing/research at baseline and Cycle 1 Day 15 * Cycles 1-5: PD 0332991 combined with anastrozole (and goserelin if premenopausal) is to be (4) 28-day cycles followed by a 5th cycle of 10-12 days duration consisting of daily PD 0332991 and anastrozole (last dose day before surgery) * Standard surgery will be performed per institutional standards 2-4 weeks following the completion of Cycle 4 in those who did not receive Cycle 5. In patients who receive Cycle 5, surgery occurs on Day 11, 12, or 13 of Cycle 5. * Patients who derived benefit from the therapy have the option of taking PD 0332991 in combination with endocrine therapy for 23 cycles after surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation if indicated. It should be re-started at least 4 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy and radiation therapy if these treatments were planned.
Group II: Arm 2: PIK3CA Mutant Type CohortExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
* Tumor biopsy for testing/research at baseline and Cycle 1 Day 15 * Cycle 0 is 28 days of anastrozole PO daily and, if premenopausal, goserelin SC every 28 days. * Cycles 1-5: PD 0332991 combined with anastrozole (and goserelin if premenopausal) is to be (4) 28-day cycles followed by a 5th cycle of 10-12 days duration consisting of daily PD 0332991 and anastrozole (last dose day before surgery) * Standard surgery will be performed per institutional standards 2-4 weeks following the completion of Cycle 4 in those who did not receive Cycle 5. In patients who receive Cycle 5, surgery occurs on Day 11, 12, or 13 of Cycle 5. * Patients who derived benefit from the therapy have the option of taking PD 0332991 in combination with endocrine therapy for 23 cycles after surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation if indicated. It should be re-started at least 4 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy and radiation therapy if these treatments were planned.
Group III: Arm 1: PIK3CA Wild Type CohortExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
* Tumor biopsy for testing/research at baseline and Cycle 1 Day 15 * Cycle 0 is 28 days of anastrozole PO daily and, if premenopausal, goserelin SC every 28 days. * Cycles 1-5: PD 0332991 combined with anastrozole (and goserelin if premenopausal) is to be (4) 28-day cycles followed by a 5th cycle of 10-12 days duration consisting of daily PD 0332991 and anastrozole (last dose day before surgery) * Standard surgery will be performed per institutional standards 2-4 weeks following the completion of Cycle 4 in those who did not receive Cycle 5. In patients who receive Cycle 5, surgery occurs on Day 11, 12, or 13 of Cycle 5. * Patients who derived benefit from the therapy have the option of taking PD 0332991 in combination with endocrine therapy for 23 cycles after surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation if indicated. It should be re-started at least 4 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy and radiation therapy if these treatments were planned.
