Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Age >=18 years • Postmenopausal status, being defined as: - Age >=60 years - Age =1 year ago when not treated with chemotherapy and/or endocrine treatment in the meantime - Age 10% of the tumor cells ER-positive), HER2-negative disease (1+ staining or 2+ non-amplified), preferentially of the primary tumor, but otherwise of a biopsied metastatic/recurrent site • Radiologically evaluable disease according to RECIST version 1.1 • Willingness and capacity to follow the protocol specified visits for blood sampling for the total duration of the study • Capacity of understanding and signing the informed consent brochure prior to the blood samplin
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Prior treatment in the metastatic setting with any AI • For the second part of blood sampling during everolimus/exemestane: other hormonal treatment in between the AI and combination everolimus/exemestane line. Chemotherapy to contain rapidly progressing before starting everolimus/exemestane is allowed. • A secondary malignancy currently present or curatively treated within the last five years before registration, except for non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, or bladder cancer in situ.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary end point is to detect a difference in progression-free survival (PFS) between patients with and without detectable ESR1 mutations in their plasma. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary, exploratory end points are to identify mutations emerging in ctDNA during treatment and associated with progression to AI and/or everolimus and exemestane treatment, to identify genetic markers in ctDNA explaining how initially responding tumors escape drug sensitivity, and to compare the DNA mutational landscape between primary tumors, metastatic lesions, if available, and matching ctDNA at start and during treatment for metastatic disease. | — |
