Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient has signed the informed consent before all study specific activities areconducted.

  2. Women or men aged ≥18 years (or the minimum age of consent as per local law), at thetime of informed consent signature. Female patients may be either postmenopausal orpremenopausal/perimenopausal.

  3. Premenopausal or perimenopausal women and men must be concurrently given aluteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist starting at least 4 weeksbefore the start of trial therapy and is planning to continue LHRH during thestudy.

  4. For perimenopausal women to be considered of non-childbearing potential,follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels must be >40 milli-international unitsper milliliter (mIU/mL).

  5. Documentation of histopathologically or cytologically confirmed ER+, HER2-breastcancer, per local laboratory, as per the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines. Note: In the context ofthis trial, ER status will be considered positive if ≥10% of tumor cells demonstratepositive nuclear staining by immunohistochemistry.

  6. Radiological disease progression during or after the most recent therapy in theadvanced/metastatic setting

  7. Patient has received at least one (and up to two) prior hormonal therapy in theadvanced/metastatic setting.

  8. Patients with disease relapse while on adjuvant endocrine therapy after the 2 firstyears, or with disease relapse within 12 months of completing adjuvant endocrinetherapy are allowed (i.e., patients with secondary-resistant breast cancer accordingto the 5th European School of Oncology (ESO)-European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) international consensus guidelines for advanced breast cancer, Cardoso et al 2020). This therapy will be considered as first line treatment for eligibilitypurposes.

  14. Hemoglobin ≥9.0 grams(g)/deciliter(dL)

  15. Potassium, sodium, calcium (corrected for serum albumin) and magnesium, CommonTerminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 grade ≤1. Note: Correctedcalcium for serum albumin must be calculated manually by the site using thePayne formula: Corrected calcium (milligrams [mg]/dL) = measured total calcium (mg/dL) + 0.8 (Normal albumin [g/dL] - serum albumin [g/dL]), where normalalbumin is usually defaulted to 4.0 g/dL.

  16. Cockcroft-Gault based creatinine clearance ≥50 milliliters per minute (mL/min).Note: Creatinine clearance (male) = ([140-age in years] × weight in kilograms [kg])/ ([serum creatinine in mg/dL] × 72) Creatinine clearance (female) = (0.85 × [140-age in years] × weight in kg)/ ([serum creatinine in mg/dL] × 72)

  17. Serum albumin ≥3.0 g/dL (≥30 g/L)

  18. In absence of liver metastases, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartateaminotransferase (AST) ≤3.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN). If the patient hasliver metastases, ALT and AST ≤5 × ULN

  19. If the patient has liver metastases, ALT, and AST ≤5.0 × ULN

  20. Total serum bilirubin <1.5 × ULN except for patients with Gilbert's syndromewho may be included if the total serum bilirubin is ≤3.0 × ULN or directbilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN. Note: Laboratory assessments may be repeated during theScreening Phase after supplementation or transfusions (a single red blood cellstransfusion is allowed once during the screening period).

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Active or newly diagnosed central nervous system (CNS) metastases, includingmeningeal carcinomatosis.

  2. Patients with advanced, symptomatic visceral crisis who are at risk oflife-threatening complications in the short term, including massive uncontrolledeffusions (peritoneal, pleural, pericardial) and liver involvement of >50%.

  3. Prior chemotherapy, elacestrant, or CDK4/6i in the advanced/metastatic setting.

  4. Patients with only disease relapse while on the first 2 years of adjuvant endocrinetherapy i.e., patients with primary endocrine resistance, are not eligible.

  5. Patient has a concurrent malignancy or history of invasive malignancy within 3 yearsof enrollment, with the exception of basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficialbladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix that has completed curativetreatment.

  6. Uncontrolled significant active infections.

  7. Patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infectionmust have undetectable viral load during screening.

  8. Patients known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)+ are allowed as long asthey have undetectable viral load at baseline.

Study Description

This is a Phase 2 trial evaluating the efficacy of elacestrant in patients with ER+/HER2- advanced/metastatic breast cancer who received one or two prior hormonal therapies and no prior CDK4/6i in the metastatic setting.

The study duration for each patient is estimated to be:

  • Screening Phase: Up to 28 days prior to Cycle 1, Day 1 (C1D1);

  • Treatment Phase: From C1D1 until the date of radiologically documented progression, or treatment discontinuation due to other reasons.

  • Survival Follow-Up Phase: All patients will be followed for survival approximately every 3 months up to 24 months after enrollment of the last patient.

Patients will be followed for adverse events (AEs) for 28 days after the last treatment administration.
