Brief summary

This is a randomised, open-label, parallel-group, pre-surgical study aimed to investigate the biological effects, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of different doses of oral AZD9833 in post-menopausal women with primary breast cancer

Detailed description

The study will be conducted in approximately 20 study centers across 3 countries and will be conducted in three stages (stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3). After the screening visit and confirmation of eligibility, evaluable participants will be enrolled across treatment groups. In stage 1, up to 24 evaluable participants across two treatment groups will be enrolled. A Safety and Data Monitoring Committee will convene to review stage 1 data and decide whether further treatment groups are required in stage 2. Stage 2 will include participants across up to 3 treatment groups. Stage 3 will include two treatment groups: Stage 1 Group 1: AZD9833 Dose A once daily Group 2: AZD9833 Dose B once daily Stage 2 Group 1: AZD9833 Dose A once daily Group 2: AZD9833 Dose B once daily Group 3: AZD9833 Dose C once daily Stage 3 Group 1: AZD9833 Dose A once daily Group 2: AZD9833 Dose B once daily Adverse events and concomitant medications information will be collected throughout the study. Thereafter there will be 28-day follow-up visit after discontinuation of study treatment

Interventions

AZD9833 tablets will be administered orally.

Intervention model description

This is a randomised, open-label, parallel-group study. The study is divided into three stages as follows: 1. Stage 1: In this stage post-menopausal participants will be randomised in 2 cohorts in 1:1 ratio to receive AZD9833 with 12 evaluable participants in each cohort. 2. Stage 2: In this stage post-menopausal participants may be randomised in up to 3 cohorts, which may include up to 3 doses of AZD9833. 3. Stage 3 : In this stage post-menopausal participants may be randomised in up to 2 cohorts in 1:1 ratio, which may include up to 2 doses of AZD9833.

Recruitment details

The study was conducted at 13 sites in 3 countries between November 2, 2020 and June 19, 2023.

Pre-assignment details

Patients were enrolled according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria, with a 21 day screening period. Assessments were performed as per schedule. The study consists of 3 stages with different patients in each stage. Results pool data from the 75mg and 150mg arms of stages 1 and 2. This is per the predefined statistical analysis plan, which describes the combination of identical treatments in terms of dose and treatment duration. Stage 3 explored a different duration so is reported separately.

Percentage Change From Baseline in ER Expression Between Pre- and On-treatment Tumour Samples (Sensitivity Analysis)

The PD effect of AZD9833 on ER expression comparing pre- and on-treatment tumour samples in women with early breast cancer after 5 to 7 days and 12 to 15 days of AZD9833 treatment was assessed. The assessment was done by IHC method. The sensitivity analysis excluded any patients who were HER2-positive patient by central assessment as well as patients with baseline ER H-score \< 10. The percentage change was calculated from ANCVOA model adjusting for baseline ER score and day of on-treatment biopsy.

Time frame: Baseline (Screening Day -21 to 1) to Biopsy Day (Days 5-7 [Stage 1 and 2] or Days 12-15 [Stage 3])

Population: PD analysis set included: all the patient who had taken at least 5 consecutive daily doses (Stage 1 and 2) or at least 12 consecutive daily doses (Stage 3) of AZD9833. The patient received last AZD9833 dose within 12 hours of the on-treatment biopsy, diagnostic and on-treatment biopsy pair was considered evaluable by central pathology assessment (\>100 tumor cells per FFPE biopsy, and minimum of 2 slides for ER measurement), with no protocol deviations affecting the biomarker analysis.

Percentage Change From Baseline in Ki-67 Labelling Index Between Pre- and On-treatment Tumour Samples (Primary Analysis)

The PD effect of AZD9833 on antigen Ki-67 expression comparing pre- and on-treatment tumour samples in women with early breast cancer after 5 to 7 days and 12 to 15 days of AZD9833 treatment was assessed. The assessment was done by IHC method. The percentage change was calculated from an ANCOVA model adjusting for log baseline Ki67 index and day of on-treatment biopsy. The Ki-67 index data were log transformed prior to analysis, with results back-transformed to represent percentage change.

Time frame: Baseline (Screening Day -21 to 1) to Biopsy day (Days 5-7 [Stage 1 and 2] or Days 12-15 [Stage 3])

Population: PD analysis set included: all the patient who had taken at least 5 consecutive daily doses (Stage 1 and 2) or at least 12 consecutive daily doses (Stage 3) of AZD9833. The patient received last AZD9833 dose within 12 hours of the on-treatment biopsy, diagnostic and on-treatment biopsy pair was considered evaluable by central pathology assessment (\>100 tumor cells per FFPE biopsy, and minimum of 2 slides for Ki-67 measurement), with no protocol deviations affecting the biomarker analysis.

Percentage Change From Baseline in Ki-67 Labelling Index Between Pre- and On-treatment Tumour Samples (Sensitivity Analysis)

The PD effect of AZD9833 on antigen Ki-67 expression comparing pre- and on-treatment tumour samples in women with early breast cancer after 5 to 7 days and 12 to 15 days of AZD9833 treatment was assessed. The assessment was done by IHC method. The sensitivity analysis excluded any patients who were HER2-positive patient by central assessment as well as patients with baseline Ki67 labelling index \<5%. The percentage change was calculated from an ANCOVA model adjusting for log baseline Ki67 index and day of on-treatment biopsy. The Ki-67 index data were log transformed prior to analysis, with results back-transformed to represent percentage change.

Percentage Change From Baseline in PgR Expression Between Pre- and On-treatment Tumour Samples (Sensitivity Analysis)

The PD effects of AZD9833 on PgR expression comparing pre- and on-treatment tumour samples in women with early breast cancer after 5 to 7 days and 12 to 15 days of AZD9833 treatment was assessed. The assessment was done by IHC method. The sensitivity analysis excluded any patients who were HER2-positive patient by central assessment as well as patients with baseline PgR H-score \< 10. The percentage change was calculated from an ANCOVA model adjusting for baseline PgR score and day of on-treatment biopsy.
