Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it can help treat early stage breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for premenopausal women over 18 with early-stage ER+ HER2- breast cancer, who have not received prior treatment for this cancer. They must be willing to use contraception and have a life expectancy over 4 months. Participants need adequate organ function and no history of certain cancers or conditions that would interfere with the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests if PD0332991 combined with anastrozole improves response rates in breast cancer compared to aromatase inhibitors alone. It also checks if fewer patients have high levels of Ki67, indicating cell proliferation, after treatment. The study includes surgery as standard care and tumor biopsies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include issues related to organ inflammation, reactions specific to drug components (allergic), gastrointestinal disturbances due to oral medication intake, possible heart rhythm problems (QT interval changes), and general risks associated with taking hormonal therapies.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm 3: Endocrine Resistant CohortExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Tumor biopsy for testing/research at baseline and Cycle 1 Day 15 Cycles 1-5: PD 0332991 combined with anastrozole (and goserelin if premenopausal) is to be (4) 28-day cycles followed by a 5th cycle of 10-12 days duration consisting of daily PD 0332991 and anastrozole (last dose day before surgery) Standard surgery will be performed per institutional standards 2-4 weeks following the completion of Cycle 4 in those who did not receive Cycle 5. In patients who receive Cycle 5, surgery occurs on Day 11, 12, or 13 of Cycle 5. Patients who derived benefit from the therapy have the option of taking PD 0332991 in combination with endocrine therapy for 23 cycles after surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation if indicated. It should be re-started at least 4 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy and radiation therapy if these treatments were planned.
Group II: Arm 2: PIK3CA Mutant Type CohortExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Tumor biopsy for testing/research at baseline and Cycle 1 Day 15 Cycle 0 is 28 days of anastrozole PO daily and, if premenopausal, goserelin SC every 28 days. Cycles 1-5: PD 0332991 combined with anastrozole (and goserelin if premenopausal) is to be (4) 28-day cycles followed by a 5th cycle of 10-12 days duration consisting of daily PD 0332991 and anastrozole (last dose day before surgery) Standard surgery will be performed per institutional standards 2-4 weeks following the completion of Cycle 4 in those who did not receive Cycle 5. In patients who receive Cycle 5, surgery occurs on Day 11, 12, or 13 of Cycle 5. Patients who derived benefit from the therapy have the option of taking PD 0332991 in combination with endocrine therapy for 23 cycles after surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation if indicated. It should be re-started at least 4 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy and radiation therapy if these treatments were planned.
Group III: Arm 1: PIK3CA Wild Type CohortExperimental Treatment5 Interventions

How many different places are participating in this research project?

"Mayo Clinic - Rochester (Rochester, Minnesota), Washington University School of Medicine (Saint Louis, Missouri), and Mayo Clinic - Scottsdale (Scottsdale, Arizona) are a few of the many places where patients can enroll in this clinical trial."

Answered by AI

Are people with this medical condition able to sign up for the clinical trial at this time?

"The clinical trial isn't currently recruiting patients. The original posting was on April 10th, 2013, and the most recent edit was on September 22nd, 2022. However, there are 2624 other trials actively searching for participants right now."

Answered by AI

To your knowledge, has anything like this been tried before?

"PD0332991 has been under investigation since the year 2000. The first clinical trial was funded by AstraZeneca and took place in 2000 with a pool of 600 participants. After this initial study, PD0332991 received approval to enter Phase 3 drug trials. As of now, there are 252 active studies involving PD0332991 being conducted across 2046 cities and 68 countries worldwide."

Answered by AI

What are some of the potential risks associated with PD0332991?

"As this is a phase 2 trial, there is some data to support the safety of PD0332991; however, as there is not yet any evidence for efficacy, it received a score of 2."

Answered by AI

Could you please provide more information on other research projects that have studied PD0332991?

"PD0332991 was first trialled in 2000 at the Centre de Recherche Clinique du CHUS. To date, there have been a total of 268 clinical trials completed. Currently, 252 studies are actively recruiting patients, with many of these based out of Rochester, Minnesota."

Answered by AI

What indications has PD0332991 been shown to be effective for?

"PD0332991 is not only used to breast cancer, but also for other conditions like endometrial thinning, stage t2b carcinoma of the prostate, and as a radiation sensitizer."
