A Randomized Phase II Study of Fulvestrant vs. Fulvestrant in Combination With Bortezomib in Women With ER Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine if the addition of bortezomib to fulvestrant improves median progression
free survival (PFS) compared with fulvestrant alone in postmenopausal women with ER-positive
locally advanced inoperable or metastatic breast cancer who have disease that is resistant
to aromatase inhibitor therapy (Arms A vs. B).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine if the addition of bortezomib to fulvestrant improves the clinical benefit
rate (defined as objective response plus stable disease for at least 24 weeks from day+1).
II. To determine the percent of patients, treated with fulvestrant alone and fulvestrant
plus bortezomib, who remain progression-free 24 weeks from day+1 (Arms A vs. B).
III. To determine the overall survival of patients treated with fulvestrant alone and
fulvestrant plus bortezomib. (Arms A, B, C).
IV. To determine the adverse event profile in patients treated with fulvestrant alone and
fulvestrant plus bortezomib (Arms A, B, C).
V. To determine the clinical benefit rate at 12 and 24 weeks of fulvestrant plus bortezomib
in patients who have progressed on the fulvestrant alone arm and crossover to receive the
combination (Arm C).
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To perform an exploratory analysis of the effects of bortezomib (plus fulvestrant) in
intratumoral nuclear/cytoplasmic ER ratio, unfolded protein response (BiP), apoptotis
(cleaved caspase 3, Bcl-2 phospho JNK in patients with tumors accessible to biopsy who
consent to optional post-treatment biopsy.
II. To determine with cyclin D1 expression in pretreatment tumor specimens (from metastatic
disease or the primary tumor if the former is not available) is predictive of clinical
benefit with fulvestrant-bortezomib.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
Arm I: Patients receive fulvestrant intramuscularly on day 1 (days -14, 1, and 15 of course
1 only). Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity. Patients with progressive disease may crossover to arm II.
Arm II: Patients receive fulvestrant as in arm I and bortezomib IV on days 1, 8, and 15
(beginning in course 2). Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 3 months.
Interventional
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment
PFS
The PFS distributions of the two treatment arms will be estimated by Kaplan-Meier. PFS distributions will be compared by an unstratified log-rank test.
From first treatment day until objective or disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 4 years
