Breast Cancer

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a new drug, Ipatasertib, can slow the growth of advanced breast cancer when added to standard therapy (Fulvestrant).

Detailed description

Patients enrolled in this study will receive either Ipatasertib plus Fulvestrant or placebo (a substance that looks like the study drug but does not have any active or medicinal ingredient) plus Fulvestant. The study will provide information about the ability of Ipatasertib plus Fulvestrant to control the cancer, the side effects and safety of the treatment, how patients feel while taking the treatment and associated costs.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Progression-free Survival (PFS) Using RECIST 1.14 yearsProgression-free survival (PFS) defined as time from randomization to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To Compare the Two Treatment Arms With Respect to Investigator Assessed PFS (Per RECIST 1.1) in the PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN Altered Cohort4 yearsThe PFS is tested in the PIK3CA/PTEN/AKT1 altered status subset under the same 0.05 significance level among the 111 subjects in the PIK3CA/PTEN/AKT1 altered status subset
Commencement of Subsequent Line of Systemic Therapy or Death (TSST)4 yearsNumber of patients with commencement of subsequent line of systemic therapy or death between enrollment and the end of study
