About

The goal of this study is to evaluate the extended Overall Survival (OS) from PARSIFAL trial - NCT02491983 focused on the efficacy and safety of palbociclib in combination with fulvestrant or letrozole in patients with Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, Endocrine Receptor (ER)-positive metastatic breast cancer. It was designed to test the superiority of fulvestrant plus palbociclib compared with letrozole plus palbociclib first and then the non-inferiority of fulvestrant plus palbociclib compared with letrozole plus palbociclib if the superiority objective was not achieved.

Full description

This is an observational, international multi-center study with the objective to evaluate the extended overall survival from PARSIFAL trial (NCT02491983) analyzing the efficacy and safety of palbociclib in combination with fulvestrant or letrozole in patients with HER2-negative, ER-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The patients included in this trial were previously randomized in PARSIFAL trial and did not withdraw consent to participate in the PARSIFAL clinical trial. The primary objective is to compare the efficacy (in terms of OS) of palbociclib in combination with fulvestrant (interventional arm) versus palbociclib plus letrozole (control arm) during extended follow-up of PARSIFAL trial and the secondary objectives are to assess the extended efficacy, of palbociclib combined with fulvestrant or letrozole in terms of progression-free survival (PFS), to estimate the extended efficacy, of palbociclib combined with endocrine therapy (fulvestrant or letrozole) in terms of OS and PFS and to assess the subsequent antineoplastic therapies to palbociclib combined with fulvestrant or letrozole in this population. The PARSIFAL-LONG study is non-interventional. There are no protocol-mandated visits or procedures associated with the study. In this study the data required to document the defined study endpoints will be collected using the medical histories of patients accrued in the PARSIFAL study as data source. This additional data will be analyzed along with the database of PARSIFAL trial. The estimated study duration is 24 months and the expected period for data validation, analysis, and reporting is around 4 more months.

Patients randomized in PARSIFAL trial had to meet the following inclusion criteria:

1. Postmenopausal women, as defined by any of the following criteria:

   • Age 60 or over
   • Age 45 to 59 years and meets ≥1 of the following criteria: amenorrhea for ≥ 24 months or amenorrhea for < 24 months and follicle-stimulating hormone within the postmenopausal range (including patients with hysterectomy, prior hormone replacement therapy or chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea).
   • Over 18 years of age and bilateral oophorectomy

   OR:

   Premenopausal women provided they are being treated with LHRH analogues for at least 28 days prior to study entry.

2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score lower or equal to 2.

3. Histologically confirmed recurrent ER-positive (oestrogen and/or progesterone) HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic BC patients (Breast cancer that have at least 1% of cells staging positive for ER should be considered ER-positive according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guidelines.

4. Patients should not be candidates for a local treatment with a radical intention.

5. No prior hormonal or chemotherapy line in the metastatic setting.

6. Patient must have measurable (according to RECIST 1.1) or non-measurable disease with these exceptions:

   1. Patients with only blastic bone lesions are not eligible.
   2. Patients with only pleural, peritoneal, or cardiac effusion, or meningeal carcinomatosis are not eligible.

7. Life expectancy grater or equal to 12 weeks.

8. Adequate organ function:

   1. Hematological: White blood cell (WBC) count >3.0 x 109/L, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1.5 x 109/L, platelet count >75.0 x109/L, and hemoglobin >10.0 g/dL (>6.2 mmol/L)
   2. Hepatic: bilirubin < 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (x ULN); alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate transaminase (AST), and alanine transaminase (ALT) <2.5 times ULN. Patients with ALP ≥2.5 times ULN are eligible if ALP abnormalities are unequivocally related to bone lesions (radiological assessments performed within 4 weeks prior to randomization demonstrated bone metastatic disease).
   3. Renal: serum creatinine < 1.5 x ULN.

9. Exhibit patient compliance and geographic proximity that allow for adequate follow-up.

10. Patient has been informed about the nature of study, and has agreed to participate in the study, and signed the Informed Consent form prior to participation in any study-related activities.

11. No other malignancies within the past five years except adequate treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.

12. Resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior anti- cancer therapy or surgical procedures to NCI- CTCAE version 4.0 Grade ≤ 1 (except alopecia or other toxicities not considered a safety risk for the patient at investigator's discretion).

Exclusion criteria

Patients were excluded from the PARSIFAL trial if they met any of the following criteria:

1. ER or HER2 unknown disease.
2. HER2-positive disease based on local laboratory results (performed by immunohistochemistry/FISH)
3. Locally advanced breast cancer candidate for a radical treatment.
