Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To estimate the efficacy of metronomic treatment with daily oral vinorelbine in terms of clinical benefit rate (CBR) based on local radiological assessment using RECIST 1.1 in patients with advanced/metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer resistant to endocrine therapy;Secondary Objective: - To further assess the efficacy of metronomic treatment with daily oral vinorelbine in terms of overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), duration of disease control (DoDC), duration of stable disease (DoSD), duration of response (DoR), pro- gression-free survival (PFS), time to treatment failure (TTF) and overall survival (OS) – To assess the safety and tolerability of metronomic treatment with daily oral vinorelbine – To assess the effect of metronomic treatment with daily oral vinorelbine on patient’s symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQoL);Primary end point(s): Determination of the CBR (SD+PR+CR) at 24 weeks after start of treatment;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 weeks after start of treatment | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): – Estimation of ORR, DCR (overall and at 12 weeks), DoDC, DoSD, DoR, PFS, TTF and OS – Determination of frequency and severity of (serious) adverse events and the number of laboratory values worsening from baseline based on the CTC grade; other safety data (e.g. vital signs and special tests) will be considered as appropriate – Evaluation of the Global Health Status/QoL on the basis of the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire – Exploratory: To analyse tumour tissue biomarkers before the start of the study treat-ment and upon progression: histopathological analyses including qualitative assessments of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) involving the evaluation of regulatory T cells (Treg), CD8, CD20 and immune checkpoint parameters (e.g. PD-L1); additionally, markers like vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and hypoxia inducible factor-1? (HIF-1?) will be evaluated – Exploratory: To analyse blood biomarkers before the start of study treatment, during the treatment period and upon progression: assessment of blood biomarkers, such as hypoxia inducible factor-1? (HIF-1?), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and to evaluate potential correlations of bio-marker expression and clinical out¬comes (response, PFS, OS) – Exploratory (associated separate project): To evaluate the number of non-users and users of the eHealth system CANKADO in the frame of this study and to analyse the absolute and relative dose intensities, the CBR at 24 weeks after start of treatment, the EORTC QLQ-C30 quality of life data and the frequency of (serious) adverse events in the non-user and user group ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Estimation of ORR, DCR (overall and at 12 weeks), DoDC, DoSD, DoR, PFS, TTF and OS | — |
