Overview

A Open Study of Metronomic Oral Vinorelbine in Combination With Aromatase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Postmenopausal Women With Hormone Receptor Positive,HER2-negative, Advanced Breast Cancer Who Received no Prior Therapy for Advanced Disease

Status:
Terminated
Trial end date:
2020-03-23
Target enrollment:

Participant gender:
All
Summary
This study is designed to evaluate the clinical effects of the addition of metronomic oral vinorelbine to letrozole and anastrozole. The study will compare the efficacy and tolerability of oral metronomic vinorelbine administered in combination with letrozole or anastrozole, as treatment for hormone receptor-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer without resistance to Aromatase Inhibitors (AI).
Phase:

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Patient has signed informed consent before any trial related activities and according
to local guidelines

- Women with advanced (inoperable loco regionally recurrent or metastatic) breast cancer

- No prior systemic anti-cancer therapy for advanced disease.

- Patient is postmenopausal. Postmenopausal status is defined either by:

- Prior bilateral oophorectomy

- Age > 60

- Age <60 and amenorrhea for 12 or more months (in the absence of chemotherapy,
tamoxifen, or ovarian suppression) and/or FSH and estradiol in the postmenopausal
range per local normal range

- Patient has a histological and/or cytological confirmed diagnosis of estrogen-receptor
positive and/or progesterone receptor positive breast cancer by local laboratory (
determined by >10% positive stained cells for estrogen receptor by IHC on the primary
tumor or on metastatic site whichever the value of progesterone receptor).

- Patient has HER2-negative breast cancer defined as a negative in situ hybridization
test or an IHC status of 0, 1+ or 2+. If IHC is 2+, a negative in situ hybridization
(FISH, CISH, or SISH) test is required by local laboratory testing.

- Patient must have either:

- Measurable disease, i.e., at least one measurable lesion as per RECIST 1.1
criteria or,

- At least one lytic bone lesion or . Non measurable disease

- Patient has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status <2

- Patient has adequate bone marrow and organ function as defined by the following
laboratory values:

- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L

- Platelets ≥ 100 × 109/L

- Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL

- Normal calcium (corrected for serum albumin)

- Serum creatinine should be below 2 x ULN

- In absence of liver metastases, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate
aminotransferase (AST) should be below 2.5 × ULN. If the patient has liver
metastases, ALT and AST should be < 5 × ULN.

- Total serum bilirubin < ULN; or total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 × ULN with direct bilirubin
within normal range of the central laboratory in patients with well documented
Gilbert's Syndrome

- Life expectancy > 16 weeks

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patient who received vinorelbine in adjuvant setting.

- Patient with a known hypersensitivity to oral vinorelbine, létrozole, Anastrozole or
any of the excipients or others vinca-alcaloïdes. 3. Patient who received any prior
anti-cancer therapy (including chemotherapy) for advanced disease with the exception
of surgery.

Note:

• Patients who received (neo) adjuvant therapy for breast cancer are eligible. Prior
therapy with letrozole or anastrozole in the (neo) adjuvant setting is permitted if the
disease free interval is greater than 24 months from the completion of treatment.

- Patient has a concurrent malignancy or malignancy within 5 years of randomization,
with the exception of adequately treated, basal or squamous cell carcinoma,
non-melanomatous skin cancer or curatively resected cervix cancer.

- Patient with known CNS metastases.

- Patient with impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may
significantly alter the absorption of the study drugs (e.g., ulcerative diseases,
uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel
resection)

- Patient with a known history of HIV infection (testing not mandatory)

- Patient who any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that
would, in the investigator's judgment, contraindicate patient participation in the
clinical study (e.g. chronic pancreatitis, chronic active hepatitis, etc.)

- Patient with active cardiac disease or a history of cardiac dysfunction including any
of the following:

History of angina pectoris, symptomatic pericarditis, or myocardial infarction within 6
months prior to study entry History of documented congestive heart failure (New York Heart
Association functional classification III-IV) Documented cardiomyopathy

- Patient with peripheral neuropathy>grade 2 CTCAE version 4.0

- Patient who had major surgery within 14 days prior to starting study drug or has not
recovered from major side effects

- Patient who concurrently using other antineoplastic agents.

- Patient who has received radiotherapy for palliation ≤ 2 weeks prior to randomization,
and who has not recovered to grade 1 or better from related side effects of such
therapy (with the exception of alopecia) and/or from whom ≥ 30% of the bone marrow was
irradiated.

- Participation in another clinical trial with any investigational drug within 30 days
prior to randomization and/or during the study.

- Pregnancy or lactating patients

- Patient with history of surgical resection extended to the stomach or small intestine

- Patient with a severe infection current or recent (within 2 weeks)

- Patient needs long-term oxygen therapy

- Patient with rare hereditary problems of fructose intolerance

- In combination with the vaccine against yellow fever
