About

This is a multicenter, international, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase II trial. Participants with advanced breast cancer (ABC) or Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) who have experienced recurrence or progression of their disease while receiving aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy or who have relapsed within 6 months after completing adjuvant AI therapy will be enrolled in Part I of this study. Participants with ABC or MBC who have received prior AI therapy and who have PIK3CA-mutant tumors will be enrolled in Part II of this study. Part I of the study will assess the effect of the addition of GDC-0941 to fulvestrant (Arm A) and of GDC-0980 to fulvestrant (Arm B) on progression free survival (PFS) compared with fulvestrant + placebo (Arm C). Part II of the study will examine the safety and tolerability and to estimate the effect of GDC-0941 in combination with fulvestrant (Arm D) on PFS versus fulvestrant + placebo (Arm E) in participants who received prior treatment with an AI and whose tumors contain a PIK3CA mutation.

Enrollment: 318 patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1
• As per national or local treatment guidelines, endocrine therapy (i.e., fulvestrant) is recommended and treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy is not necessary for participants, at time of entry into the study.
• Part I: Postmenopausal women with locally ABC or MBC whose disease relapsed during treatment with (or within 6 months after discontinuation of) an AI in the adjuvant setting or progressed during treatment with an AI in the metastatic setting.
• Part II: Postmenopausal women with locally ABC or MBC whose disease has progressed during or after treatment with an AI. Participants who discontinued the AI for toxicity rather than completion of regimen or for disease progression are not eligible
• Estrogen receptor (ER)-positive disease and human epidermal receptor 2 (HER2)-negative disease
• Participants must have measurable disease by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1 or bone-only disease with radiologic scans
• Adequate hematologic and end-organ function

Exclusion criteria

• Prior treatment with fulvestrant, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, or mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor for ABC or MBC
• Prior anti-cancer therapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1
• Prior treatment with greater than (>) one cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens or experienced recurrent or progressive disease on > two endocrine therapies for MBC
• Participants requiring anti-hyperglycemic therapy
• Clinically significant cardiac or pulmonary dysfunction
• History of malabsorption syndrome or other condition that would interfere with enteral absorption
• Clinically significant history of liver disease
• Active uncontrolled autoimmune disease or active inflammatory disease
• Immunocompromised status
• Need for current chronic corticosteroid therapy
• Pregnancy, lactation, or breastfeeding
• Current severe, uncontrolled systemic disease
• Symptomatic hypercalcemia
• Known untreated or active central nervous system (CNS) metastases
• History of other malignancy within the previous 5 years, except for appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, Stage I uterine cancer, or patients who have undergone potentially curative therapy with no evidence of disease and are deemed by the treating physician to be at low risk for recurrence

Trial design

318 participants in 5 patient groups, including a placebo group

Placebo Comparator group

Description:

Participants with PIK3CA mutation will receive fulvestrant 500 mg as 2 IM injections of 250 mg on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle and GDC-0941 matching placebo QD orally starting on Day 1 of Cycle 1, each cycle of 28 days. Study treatment will continue until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, elective withdrawal from the study, study completion or termination.

Treatment:

Drug: Fulvestrant

Drug: GDC-0941 Matching Placebo

GDC-0941-260 mg + Fulvestrant (Arm D)

Experimental group

Description:

Participants with PIK3CA mutation will receive fulvestrant 500 mg as 2 IM injections of 250 mg on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle and GDC-0941 260 mg QD orally starting on Day 1 of Cycle 1, each cycle of 28 days. Study treatment will continue until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, elective withdrawal from the study, study completion or termination.
