About this trial

This is a pragmatic phase 2 study to determine the proportion of patients with ER+ (≥10%)/HER2- EBC in whom neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be replaced by NET plus abemaciclib based on the results of the ODX RS obtained in the initial diagnostic biopsy and according to the MDT decision and to evaluate the proportion of patients undergoing breast conservative surgery and/or sentinel node biopsy

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

female aged 18 years or older

primary, histologically confirmed diagnosis of invasive breast carcinoma,

estrogen receptor (ER)-positive tumor, defined as ≥10% by immunohistochemistry and measured as per ASCO/CAP guidelines (Allison et al.2020). Any progesterone receptor expression is acceptable (as per local assessment)

documented human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative tumor as per ASCO/CAP guidelines, assessed locally,

Disqualifiers

presence of distant metastases (stage IV) or stage IIIC disease,

inflammatory or locally-advanced, inoperable breast cancer

previous invasive ipsilateral breast cancer at any time,

basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin,

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

determine the proportion of patients with ER+ (≥10%)/HER2- EBC in whom neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be replaced by NET plus abemaciclib based on the results of the ODX RS obtained in the initial diagnostic biopsy and according to the MDT decision

the proportion of patients with ER+/HER2- EBC who avoid (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy according to the MDT decision based on the ODX RS assessment in the tumor biopsy specimen and the availability of abemaciclib/ET option for the lower RS group

Time frame
From the date of the enrollment up to 24 months
2

evaluate the proportion of patients undergoing breast conservative surgery and/or sentinel node biopsy

the proportion of patients who de-escalate surgery after neoadjuvant therapy comparing the baseline surgical indication of the MDT to the effective surgery (at least one of: "from mastectomy to breast conservative surgery" OR "from lymph node dissection to sentinel node biopsy").

Time frame
up to 24 months
