Given the uncertain benefit in efficacy of adding CDK 4/6 to first rather than second line
endocrine treatment, the aim of this project is to evaluate whether the sequence of an
aromatase inhibitor plus CDK 4/6 in first line followed by fulvestrant in second line is
superior to the sequence of an aromatase inhibitor in first line followed by fulvestrant plus
CDK4/6 in second line.
Description
Combining cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK 4/6) inhibitors with endocrine therapies in
hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative
advanced breast cancer has shown to result in substantial improvements in progression-free
survival. There is however no evidence that this combination strategy leads to an improved
overall survival. Furthermore, no specific subgroups that will or will not benefit from the
combination of drugs have been identified yet. This means the optimal strategy for deploying
CDK 4/6 inhibitors in clinical practice is not yet known. Since CDK 4/6 inhibitors are costly
and can have toxic effects, it is important to determine the optimal treatment strategy to
avoid both over- and undertreatment.
The SONIA-trial is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, randomized phase III study. The
primary objective of this study is to evaluate if treatment with a non-steroidal aromatase
inhibitor combined with CDK 4/6 inhibition in first line followed at progression by
fulvestrant in second line (strategy A) improves progression-free survival compared to
treatment with a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor in first line followed at progression by
fulvestrant combined with CDK4/6 inhibition in second line (strategy B). The primary end
point is progression-free survival after two lines (PFS2), secondary end points include
overall survival, quality of life, safety and biomarker analyses.
If you are confirmed eligible after full screening, you will be required to understand and sign the informed consent if you decide to enroll in the study. Once enrolled you may be asked to make scheduled visits over a period of time.
