Summary

Analysis of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) found in a patient's peripheral blood can identify cancer progression and predict a patient's response to therapy. By using ctDNA analysis and imaging techniques, the FAIM trial aims to determine whether the addition of the experimental drug ipatasertib to a standard combination of the hormone treatment fulvestrant and the targeted agent palbociclib increases progression free survival (PFS) for patients with hormone-receptor positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer.

Other study objectives
Compare progression free survival (PFS) in patients with high ctDNA at C1D15 and genetic alterations identified in ctDNA sequencing.
Evaluate changes in ctDNA in patients with high ctDNA C1D15
Report progression free survival (PFS) in patients with undetectable ctDNA and those with detected ctDNA at C1D1 with and without suppression at C1D15.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Palbociclib + Fulvestrant + Ipatasertib (Interventional arm)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Where high ctDNA is detected in screening, patients to be randomised on a 1:1 basis to interventional arm or comparison arm. Patients randomised to interventional arm receive Palbociclib + Fulvestrant + Ipatasertib. n = 87.
Group II: Palbociclib + Fulvestrant (Comparison arm)Active Control2 Interventions
Where high ctDNA is detected in screening, patients to be randomised on a 1:1 basis to interventional arm or comparison arm. Patients randomised to Comparison arm receive Palbociclib + Fulvestrant. n = 87.
Group III: Standard of Care (No ctDNA observational arm)Active Control2 Interventions
Where no ctDNA is detected in screening, patients to be allocated to the observational arm and receive standard of care (Abemaciclib / Ribociclib / Palbociclib + fulvestrant). n = 50.
Group IV: Standard of Care (Low ctDNA observational arm)Active Control2 Interventions
Where low ctDNA is detected in screening, patients to be allocated to the observational arm and receive standard of care (Abemaciclib / Ribociclib / Palbociclib + fulvestrant). n = 100.
