Official title
A Phase 3 Randomized, Open-Label Study of OP-1250 Monotherapy vs Standard of Care for the Treatment of ER+, HER2- Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Following Endocrine and CDK 4/6 Inhibitor Therapy (OPERA-01)
Overview
This phase 3 clinical trial compares the safety and efficacy of palazestrant (OP-1250) to the standard-of-care options of fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor in women and men with breast cancer whose disease has advanced on one endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Detailed description
This is an international, multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, phase 3 clinical trial. The purpose of this trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of palazestrant (OP-1250) as a single agent to the standard of care endocrine therapy: either fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor (anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane).
This trial is seeking adult participants with ER+, HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose disease has relapsed or progressed on 1 or 2 prior lines of standard-of-care endocrine therapy for metastatic breast cancer. Prior lines of therapy must include one line of endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor. In the dose-selection part of the trial, approximately 120 participants will be randomized to one of the two doses of palazestrant or to the standard-of-care endocrine therapy. Thereafter, approximately 390 participants will be randomized to palazestrant at the selected dose or to the standard-of-care endocrine therapy.
Interventions
- Drug Palazestrant
Participants will be treated with palazestrant once daily on a 4 week (28 day) cycle. Doses evaluated in the dose-selection part will be 120 mg once daily and 90 mg once daily. - Drug Fulvestrant
Participants will be treated with fulvestrant on C1D1, C1D15, and then on Day 1 of every subsequent 4 week (28 day) cycle - Drug Anastrozole
Participants will be treated with anastrozole once daily on a 4 week (28 day) cycle - Drug Letrozole
Participants will be treated with letrozole once daily on a 4 week (28 day) cycle - Drug Exemestane
Participants will be treated with exemestane once daily on a 4 week (28 day) cycle
Primary outcome measures
- Dose-Selection Part: Incidence of adverse events [Time frame: From Date of Randomization up to 16 weeks]
- Dose-Selection Part: Incidence of dose reduction [Time frame: From Date of Randomization up to 16 weeks]
- Dose-Selection Part: Incidence of drug discontinuation [Time frame: From Date of Randomization up to 16 weeks]
- Trial: Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [Time frame: From Date of Randomization until Disease Progression or Death Due to Any Cause (estimated as up to 2 years)]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Trial: Overall Survival (OS) [Time frame: From Date of Randomization until Death Due to Any Cause (estimated as up to 4 years)]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Adult female or male participants.
- ER+, HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that is not amenable to curative therapy.
- Evaluable disease (measurable disease or bone-only disease).
- Previously received a CDK4/6 inhibitor in combination with an endocrine therapy in the advanced setting. One additional line of ET as a monotherapy is allowed. Duration of the most recent prior ET must be at least 6 months.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
- Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal functions.
- Female participants can be pre-, peri- or postmenopausal.
- Male and pre- or peri-menopausal female participants must be willing to take a GnRH (or LHRH) agonist.
Exclusion criteria
- Symptomatic visceral disease, imminent organ failure, or any other reason that makes the participant ineligible for endocrine monotherapy.
- Previously received chemotherapy in the advanced/metastatic setting.
- Previously received treatment with elacestrant or an investigational estrogen receptor-directed therapy.
- History of allergic reactions to study treatment.
- Any contraindications to the selected standard-of-care endocrine therapy in the local prescribing information.
- Symptomatic central nervous system metastases, carcinomatous meningitis, leptomeningeal disease, or a spinal cord compression that require immediate treatment.
- Clinically significant comorbidities such as significant cardiac or cerebrovascular disease, gastrointestinal disorders that could affect absorption of study treatment.
