NCT ID: NCT01368263

Last Updated: 2015-04-03

Results Overview

* In patients with Ki67 \>10% and \<= 15 pg/ml at 4 weeks. * The pCR rate for neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is defined as 100 times the number of eligible patients with no histologic evidence of invasive tumor cells in the surgical breast specimen and the axillary or sentinel lymph nodes divided by the total number of eligible patients who received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.

Measure
Group 1 (Ki67 <10%, E2 <= 15 pg/ml)
Patients receive 1 cycle (28 days) of endocrine therapy consisting of goserelin acetate SC on day 1 and letrozole or anastrozole PO QD. Neoadjuvant treatment repeats every 28 days for a total of 16-18 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo the appropriate standard surgical procedure to remove the cancer. Recommendations for postsurgical treatment will be based on PEPI score and physician discretion.
Group 2 (Ki67 >= 10%, E2 <= 15 pg/ml)
Patients receive 1 cycle (28 days) of endocrine therapy consisting of goserelin acetate SC on day 1 and letrozole or anastrozole PO QD. Patients receive standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo the appropriate standard surgical procedure to remove the cancer. Postsurgical treatment at physician discretion.
Group 3 (E2 > 15 pg/ml)
Patients receive 1 cycle (28 days) of endocrine therapy consisting of goserelin acetate SC on day 1 and letrozole or anastrozole PO QD. Patients receive standard neoadjuvant therapy at the discretion of the physician. Patients then undergo the appropriate standard surgical procedure to remove the cancer. Postsurgical treatment at physician discretion.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 month

Population: There were no evaluable participants to analyze in Group 1, 2, or 3. No participants met the criteria for Ki67 \>10% and estradiol levels of \<= 15 pg/ml at 4 weeks.

* In patients with Ki67 \>10% and \<= 15 pg/ml at 4 weeks. * The pCR rate for neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is defined as 100 times the number of eligible patients with no histologic evidence of invasive tumor cells in the surgical breast specimen and the axillary or sentinel lymph nodes divided by the total number of eligible patients who received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months post neoadjuvant endocrine therapy and surgery

Population: None of the participants had a PEPI score and 0 and pathological stage 1.

Proportion of patients with a PEPI score of 0 and pathological stage 1 who choose to forego chemotherapy.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 4 weeks post-treatment

Population: This outcome was not analyzed due to funding issues.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At time of definitive surgery

Population: 2 participants in Group 1 did not have a PEPI score at time of surgery as (1) participant did not have nodal dissection and (1) did not have surgery. Both participants in Group 2 and Group 3 did not have surgery study tissue collected

To obtain the PEPI score, risk points for relapse-free survival (RFS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) are assigned depending on the hazard ratio (HR) from the multivariable analysis. The total PEPI score assigned to each patient is the sum of the risk points derived from the pT stage, pN stage, Ki67 level, and estrogen receptor status of the surgical specimen. A HR in the range of 1 to 2 receives one risk point; a HR in the 2 to 2.5 range, two risk points; a HR greater than 2.5, three risk points. The total risk point score for each patient is the sum of all the risk points accumulated from the four factors in the model, ranges from 0 (best possible outcome) to 12 (worst possible outcome).

Patients receive 1 cycle (28 days) of endocrine therapy consisting of goserelin acetate SC on day 1 and letrozole or anastrozole PO QD. Neoadjuvant treatment repeats every 28 days for a total of 16-18 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo the appropriate standard surgical procedure to remove the cancer. Recommendations for postsurgical treatment will be based on PEPI score and physician discretion.

Patients receive 1 cycle (28 days) of endocrine therapy consisting of goserelin acetate SC on day 1 and letrozole or anastrozole PO QD. Patients receive standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo the appropriate standard surgical procedure to remove the cancer. Postsurgical treatment at physician discretion.
Group 3 (E2 > 15 pg/ml)
Patients receive 1 cycle (28 days) of endocrine therapy consisting of goserelin acetate SC on day 1 and letrozole or anastrozole PO QD. Patients receive standard neoadjuvant therapy at the discretion of the physician. Patients then undergo the appropriate standard surgical procedure to remove the cancer.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 16 weeks

Population: (1) of the participants in Group 1 had an inconclusive PEPI score at week 16 and was not evaluable. (1) of the participants in Group 1 did not have surgery and was not evaluable. Participants in Group 2 and Group 3 were not evaluable for this outcome as the estradiol and Ki67 levels were above outcome specified levels.
