An exploratory clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the new medicine TKI258 together with fulvestrant (a currently used medicinal product in the treatment of advanced breast cancer) compared to fulvestrant alone in postmenopausal women with specific kind of advanced breast cancer which has progressed after prior hormonal therapy.

A multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, phase II trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of TKI258 combined with fulvestrant, in postmenopausal patients with HER2- and HR+ breast cancer that have evidence of disease progression on or after prior endocrine therapy

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the treatment effect of TKI258 in combination with fulvestrant vs. fulvestrant plus placebo on Progression-Free Survival (PFS) per local investigator assessment in patients with HER2-, HR+, locally advanced or metatastic breast cancer (LA/mBC) that have evidence of disease progression on or after prior endocrine therapy for each of the 2 groups, namely, i) FGF pathway amplified and ii) regardless of FGF pathway amplification status.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate TKI258 in combination with fulvestrant vs. fulvestrant plus placebo with respect to Overall Response Rate (ORR) in patients with HER2-, HR+, LA/mBC that have evidence of disease progression on or after prior endocrine therapy for each of the 2 groups, namely, i) FGF pathway amplified and ii) regardless of FGF pathway amplification status. To evaluate TKI258 in combination with fulvestrant vs. fulvestrant plus placebo with respect to Duration of Response (DOR) for each of the 2 groups, namely, i) FGF pathway amplified and ii) regardless of FGF pathway amplification status To evaluate TKI258 in combination with fulvestrant vs. fulvestrant plus placebo with respect to Overall Survival (OS) for each of the 2 groups, namely, i) FGF pathway amplified and ii) regardless of FGF pathway amplification status. And other secondary objectives as per study protocol;Primary end point(s): Progression-Free Survival (PFS). PFS is defined as date of randomization to the date of the first radiologically documented disease progression or death due to any cause per local investigator assessment as defined in Appendix 1 (RECIST 1.1).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: This is an event driven trial and events will be monitored contineously. After at least 80 PFS events have occurred -including at least 50 events in patinets with FGF amplified breast cancer- data evaluation will take place. This is expected approximately 2 years after trial initiation nad is therfore projected for April 20

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Overall Response Rate (ORR) ORR is defined as percentage of patients with a best overall response of CR or PR as defined in Appendix 1 (RECIST 1.1). Duration Of Response (DOR) DOR is defined as time from the date of the first documented response (CR or PR) to the date of the first documented PD or death due to disease as defined in Appendix 1 (RECIST 1.1). If a patient does not have a progression event, DOR will be censored on the date of the last adequate tumor assessment. Overall Survival (OS) OS is defined as time from date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. If a patient is not known to have died at the date of analysis cut-off, the OS will be censored at the last date of contact. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: This is an event driven trial and events, duration of response etc. will be monitored contineously (see E.5.1.1)
