Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a multi-site, global, open label study which includes a Phase 1b evaluation of elacestrant in combination with abemaciclib in women and men with with or without brain metastases from ER positive, HER-2 negative breast cancer.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. The number of patients in the Phase 1b part of the study with any adverse events (AE). [1 year]

      To determine the safety and tolerability of the abemaciclib and elacestrant combination the number of patients with adverse events (AE) that occur on or after C1D1 of therapy, AE severities will be classified using the CTCAE v5.0.

    2. Assess the efficacy of the drug combination of abemaciclib and elacestrant in the Phase 2 part of the study [3 years]

      Determine the objective response rate (ORR; the proportion of patients with a best overall response of either a complete response or partial response) per blinded independent central review

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Intracranial Response Rate per blinded independent central review (RECIST 1.1) [3 years]

      defined as the proportion of patients achieving a best overall response of confirmed partial response + complete response, based on intracranial lesions (per RECIST version 1.1).

    2. Intracranial Response Rate per blinded independent central review (RANO) [3 years]

      defined as the proportion of patients achieving a best overall response of confirmed partial response plus complete response, based on intracranial lesions (per RANO criteria).

    3. Duration of Tumor Response [3 years]

      Measured as the time from the date of enrollment until the first date of documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    4. Clinical Benefit Rate [3 years]

      Defined as the proportion of patients who have the best overall response a complete response, a partial response, or stable disease.

    5. Duration of Progression Free Survival [3 years]

      Defined as the time elapsing between the start of treatment and the date of the earliest evidence of objective disease progression or death of any cause before documented disease-progression assessed through study completion.
