Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a two-arm, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, pre-operative study to evaluate the effect of combining letrozole and GDC-0032 (also known as taselisib) versus letrozole and placebo in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) untreated, Stage I-III operable breast cancer. Participants will be randomized into one of the two treatment arms with a 1:1 randomization ratio. Letrozole at 2.5 milligrams (mg) will be dosed once daily plus either Taselisib at 4 mg (two 2-mg tablets) or placebo on a 5 days-on/ 2 days-off schedule for a total of 16 weeks.

      Objective response rate (ORR) was defined as proportion of participants achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).

    9. Central Assessments of Changes in Ki67 Levels [From Baseline to Week 3 and Surgery (Weeks 17-18); and Week 3 to Surgery (Weeks 17-18)]

      Ki67 is a prognostic marker and is used to evaluate the proliferative activity of breast cancer.

    10. Preoperative Endocrine Prognostic Index (PEPI ) Score [Week 16]

      To obtain the PEPI score, risk points for relapse-free survival (RFS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) are assigned depending on the hazard ratio (HR) from the multivariable analysis. The total PEPI score assigned to each participant is the sum of the risk points derived from the primary tumor (pT) stage, regional lymph nodes (pN) stage, Ki67 level, and estrogen receptor status of the surgical specimen. A HR in the range of 1 to 2 receives one risk point; a HR in the 2 to 2.5 range, two risk points; a HR greater than 2.5, three risk points. The total risk point score for each participant is the sum of all the risk points accumulated from the four factors in the model, ranges from 0 (best possible outcome) to 12 (worst possible outcome).

    11. Percent Change From Baseline to Surgery in Enhancing Tumor Volume as Measured by Breast MRI [From Baseline to Surgery (Weeks 17-18)]

    12. Mean Score for Health-Related Quality of Life Measured by the European Organization for Research C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) [Weeks 1, 5, 9, 13, 16, 4-week Post-Surgery]

      EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer-specific instrument with 30 questions used to assess the overall quality of life (QOL) in cancer participants. The first 28 questions used a 4-point scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much) for evaluating 5 functional scales (physical, role, social, cognitive, emotional), 8 symptom scales/items (diarrhea, fatigue, dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, nausea and vomiting [N/V], constipation, and pain) and a single item (financial difficulties). The last 2 questions represented the participant's assessment of overall health and quality of life, used 7-point scale (1=very poor to 7=excellent). EORTC QLQ-C30 global scores were linearly transformed on a scale of 0 to 100, with a high score indicating better QOL. Negative change from Baseline values indicated deterioration in QOL or functioning and positive values indicated improvement. Here, Post surgery= PS.

    13. Mean Score for Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire BR23 (QLQ-BR23) [Weeks 1, 5, 9, 13, 16, 4-week Post-Surgery]

      EORTC-QLQ-BR23 is a 23-item breast cancer-specific companion module to the EORTC-QLQ-C30 and consists of four functional scales (body image, sexual enjoyment, sexual functioning, future perspective [FP]) and four symptom scales (systemic side effects [SE], upset by hair loss, arm symptoms, breast symptoms). Questions used 4-point scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). Scores were averaged and transformed to 0-100 scale. High score for functional scale indicated high/better level of functioning/healthy functioning. Negative change from Baseline indicated deterioration in QOL and positive change from Baseline indicated an improvement in QOL. Here, Post surgery= PS.

    14. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events [Baseline up to 22 weeks]

      An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR) by Centrally Assessed Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Via Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) Version 1.1
    Description Objective response rate (ORR) was defined as proportion of participants achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). As per modified RECIST v1.1, CR: disappearance of all target lesions, PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.
    Time Frame From Baseline to 16 weeks

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    ITT population includes all randomized participants regardless of whether they received any study drug (taselisib or placebo).
    Arm/Group Title Experimental: Taselisib + Letrozole Placebo Comparator: Placebo + Letrozole
    Arm/Group Description Participants received 2.5 milligrams (mg) letrozole tablets orally once daily (QD) along with taselisib tablets at 4 mg (two 2 mg tablets) orally on a 5 days-on/2 days-off schedule for a total of 16 weeks. Participants received 2.5 mg letrozole tablets orally QD along with placebo on a 5-days-on/2-days-off schedule for a total of 16 weeks.

    14. Secondary Outcome
    Title Preoperative Endocrine Prognostic Index (PEPI ) Score
    Description To obtain the PEPI score, risk points for relapse-free survival (RFS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) are assigned depending on the hazard ratio (HR) from the multivariable analysis. The total PEPI score assigned to each participant is the sum of the risk points derived from the primary tumor (pT) stage, regional lymph nodes (pN) stage, Ki67 level, and estrogen receptor status of the surgical specimen. A HR in the range of 1 to 2 receives one risk point; a HR in the 2 to 2.5 range, two risk points; a HR greater than 2.5, three risk points. The total risk point score for each participant is the sum of all the risk points accumulated from the four factors in the model, ranges from 0 (best possible outcome) to 12 (worst possible outcome).

    16. Secondary Outcome
    Title Mean Score for Health-Related Quality of Life Measured by the European Organization for Research C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)
    Description EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer-specific instrument with 30 questions used to assess the overall quality of life (QOL) in cancer participants. The first 28 questions used a 4-point scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much) for evaluating 5 functional scales (physical, role, social, cognitive, emotional), 8 symptom scales/items (diarrhea, fatigue, dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, nausea and vomiting [N/V], constipation, and pain) and a single item (financial difficulties). The last 2 questions represented the participant's assessment of overall health and quality of life, used 7-point scale (1=very poor to 7=excellent). EORTC QLQ-C30 global scores were linearly transformed on a scale of 0 to 100, with a high score indicating better QOL. Negative change from Baseline values indicated deterioration in QOL or functioning and positive values indicated improvement. Here, Post surgery= PS.

    Description EORTC-QLQ-BR23 is a 23-item breast cancer-specific companion module to the EORTC-QLQ-C30 and consists of four functional scales (body image, sexual enjoyment, sexual functioning, future perspective [FP]) and four symptom scales (systemic side effects [SE], upset by hair loss, arm symptoms, breast symptoms). Questions used 4-point scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). Scores were averaged and transformed to 0-100 scale. High score for functional scale indicated high/better level of functioning/healthy functioning. Negative change from Baseline indicated deterioration in QOL and positive change from Baseline indicated an improvement in QOL. Here, Post surgery= PS.
