Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the efficacy –as determined by the clinical benefit rate (CBR)– of niraparib in combination with AIs in unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer patients harboring either gBRCAms or gBRCAwt and HRD.;Secondary Objective: Secondary Objectives: • To assess the efficacy –as determined by the Progression-free Survival (PFS), Objective Response Rate (ORR), time to response (TTR), duration of response (DoR), overall survival (OS), and maximum tumor reduction– of niraparib in combination with AIs in these patients. • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of niraparib in combination with AIs in these patients. Exploratory Objectives: • To assess the prevalence of gBRCAms and HRD in these patients. • To evaluate predictive and/or prognostic biomarkers associated with disease activity status or patient outcomes for the combination of niraparib and AIs in these patients. • To identify possible mechanisms of resistance to the combination of niraparib and AIs through the comparative analysis of potential biomarkers from paired pre-treatment and post-progression tumor biopsies and/or blood samples in these patients.;Primary end point(s): Primary Endpoint: • CBR defined as the percentage of patients who experience a complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) for at least 24 weeks. CBR will be assessed locally by the Investigator through the use of RECIST v.1.1 criteria.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Time from randomization to disease progression.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary Endpoints: • The efficacy will be evaluated by PFS, ORR, TTR, DoR, OS, and maximum tumor reduction. PFS, ORR, TTR, DoR, and maximum tumor reduction will be assessed locally by the Investigator through the use of RECIST v.1.1 criteria. • The safety and tolerability will be evaluated by incidence of adverse events (AEs), prespecified AEs, change from baseline in targeted vital signs, and change from baseline in targeted clinical laboratory test results according to the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.5.0. Exploratory Endpoints: • The number of patients harboring either gBRCAms (distinguishing between deleterious or suspected deleterious mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes), or gBRCAwt and HRD (distinguishing among different genomic signatures) divided by the total number of patients in the analysis set. • The number of patients harboring either gBRCAms (distinguishing between deleterious or suspected deleterious mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes), or gBRCAwt and HRD (distinguishing among different genomic signatures) who obtain clinical benefit divided by the total number of patients in the analysis set. • Association of prognostic and/or predictive, tumor- and/or immune-related biomarkers in tumor biopsies and/or blood samples with CBR, PFS, ORR, TTR, DoR, OS, and maximum tumor reduction. • Association of biomarkers indicators of drug resistance in paired pre-treatment and post-progression tumor biopsies and/or blood samples with CBR, PFS, ORR, TTR, DoR, OS, and maximum tumor reduction.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Time from randomization to disease progression.
