Study Summary

This trial will help researchers learn more about how effective and safe two investigational agents are in treating ER+ breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for postmenopausal women with advanced ER+/HER2- breast cancer who haven't had systemic treatment in the advanced setting, except possibly letrozole for up to one month. They can have had (neo)adjuvant therapy if they've been disease-free for over a year since completion. Exclusions include recent major surgery, other cancers within 3 years, heart issues, active brain metastases, and certain diabetes conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests two drugs: LEE011 (a CDK4/6 inhibitor) and BYL719 (a PI3K-alpha inhibitor), both combined with letrozole. It's an open-label Phase Ib trial aiming to find the maximum tolerated doses of these combinations and their preliminary effectiveness against breast cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to hormone changes due to letrozole use, as well as possible organ-specific inflammation or dysfunction from LEE011 or BYL719. The exact side effects will be further characterized during the trial.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How is LEE011 most commonly employed?

"LEE011 is most often used to treat different types of cancer. However, it can also be given to patients with anovulatory cycles, advanced hr+ her2- breast cancer, and those that are tamoxifen resistant."

Answered by AI

Is LEE011 a new medication or has it been studied before?

"LEE011 was first studied over 25 years ago at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. To date, there have been 240 completed studies with 226 more currently underway. A large number of these ongoing trials are based in Boston, Massachusetts."

Answered by AI

What are the objectives of this clinical research?

"The primary outcome of this medical trial, which will be assessed over an 18-month period, is the PK profiles of LEE011 and letrozole. Additionally, secondary outcomes being evaluated include Plasma concentration-time profiles of LEE011, BYL719 and letrozole, ORR (Overall Response Rate), and PFS (Progression Free Survival)."

Answered by AI

Are there still open slots for this research project?

"No, this particular clinical trial is not currently enrolling patients. The original posting date was October 22nd, 2013 with the most recent update on October 3rd, 2022. There are 2924 other medical studies that are actively recruiting right now."
