Brief Summary:
This randomized Phase III trial studies how well the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus together or the combination of anastrozole, fulvestrant and everolimus together, improve progression-free survival (PFS) versus fulvestrant alone.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Breast Cancer | Drug: Fulvestrant Drug: Anastrozole Drug: Everolimus Drug: Placebo - Anastrozole Drug: Placebo - Everolimus | Phase 3 |
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To test the benefit of interfering with the function of the estrogen receptor (ER) and providing downstream target inhibition (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) with a combination of optimal dose fulvestrant and everolimus (Arm 2) to improve progression-free survival compared to the optimal dose fulvestrant alone (Arm 1).
- To test the benefit of adding the non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor anastrozole to optimal dose fulvestrant and everolimus (Arm 3) in order to improve progression free survival over optimal dose fulvestrant (Arm 1).
Secondary
- To compare progression-free survival among those receiving fulvestrant + everolimus + anastrozole (Arm 3) versus fulvestrant + everolimus (Arm 2).
- To compare overall survival among the treatment arms in post-menopausal patients with hormone-receptor positive (HR+) Stage IV breast cancer.
- To assess and compare toxicities, feasibility and compliance among the study regimens.
- To compare response rates and clinical benefit rates among the study regimens.
-
To test molecular determinants of response to endocrine therapy and everolimus in circulating tumor cells:
- CTC-Endocrine Therapy Index (CTC ETI) on the CellSearch® platform.
- CTC-Next Generation Sequencing Analysis (CTC-NGS) of single cells captured on the HD-CTC® platform.
OUTLINE:
This is a multicenter study. Patients will be stratified according to the following factors:
- Measurable versus evaluable non-measurable disease
- Prior adjuvant hormonal therapy completed more than 5 years ago vs. prior adjuvant hormonal therapy completed 1-5 years ago vs. de novo presentation of metastatic disease or no prior adjuvant hormonal therapy.
ARMS:
- Arm 1: fulvestrant + placebo (everolimus) + placebo (anastrozole)
- Arm 2: fulvestrant + everolimus + placebo (anastrozole)
- Arm 3: fulvestrant + everolimus + anastrozole
Blood and tissue samples are collected for correlative science studies.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 2 years and then yearly thereafter for 5 years.

Participants last known to be alive without report of progression are censored at date of last contact.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]From date of registration to date of death due to any cause. Participants last known to be alive without report of progression are censored at date of last contact.
- Number of Patients With Gr 3 Through 5 Adverse Events That Are Related to Study Drugs [ Time Frame: Duration of treatment and follow up until death or 5 years post registration ]Adverse Events (AEs) are reported by CTCAE Version 4.0. Only adverse events that are possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug are reported.
- Response Rate [ Time Frame: assessed every 12 weeks, up to 5 years ]Proportion of participants who have confirmed or unconfirmed partial or complete response to therapy
- Clinical Benefit Rate [ Time Frame: assessed every 12 weeks, up to 5 years ]Proportion of participants who have confirmed and unconfirmed partial response, complete response or stable disease.
- Molecular Determinants of Response in Circulating Tumor Cells: CTC-ETI [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 29, time of progression (Day 29 to be collected only if Day 1 CTC was elevated.) ]CTC-Endocrine Therapy Index (CTC-ETI) on the CellSearch® platform. Based on enumeration of CTC/7.5 mL of whole blood, with >= 5 being elevated. (Due to limited samples collected, full analysis was not able to be performed as planned, so outcome measure reported here is number with elevated Day 1 CTC.)

Criteria
- Patients must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of invasive breast carcinoma with positive estrogen and/or progesterone receptor status, and negative human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER-2), for whom endocrine therapy is planned.
-
The HER-2 test result is negative (and should be reported as such), if a single test (or all tests)performed in a tumor specimen show:
- Immunohistochemistries (IHC) 1+ negative or IHC 0 negative or
- in situ hybridization (ISH) negative using a single probe ISH or dual probe ISH.
- Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) positivity must be assessed according to American Society of Clinial Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Physicians (CAP) guidelines as either ER or PR ≥ 1% positive nuclear staining. If HER2 IHC is 2+, an evaluation for gene amplification must be performed and the gene must not be amplified. Gene amplification evaluation is not required if evaluation by IHC is 0 or 1+ by institutional standards.
-
Patients must be post-menopausal women with a confirmed diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer (M1). Pathologic confirmation of histology is preferable.
