Zusammenfassung der Studie

The usual treatment for premenopausal women with early-stage hormone-sensitive breast cancer that is HER2-negative is surgery followed by hormone therapy to reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence. However, hormone therapy can have significant side effects, and younger women often discontinue hormone therapy early because the side effects are unacceptable to them. The PREcoopERA study is a study for premenopausal women with hormone-sensitive, HER2-negative early-stage breast cancer that has tested positive for the biomarker Ki-67. Ki-67 is a protein produced by cells – including cancer cells – when they divide. The Ki-67 value is used in breast cancer treatment as a biomarker to measure how quickly the disease is growing. Breast cancers with a higher Ki-67 value grow faster and have a worse prognosis. The aim of the study is not to directly test whether a new study drug is effective in treating early-stage breast cancer. Rather, the doctors want to find out which of the study drugs best stops the division and growth of cancer cells. To do this, the Ki-67 value is determined in a tissue sample taken for the diagnosis of your breast cancer. The Ki-67 biomarker will then be measured a second time in a sample taken during the breast surgery at the end of the study treatment. The study treatment consists of either Giredestrant alone, Giredestrant together with Triptorelin, or Anastrozole together with Triptorelin. This study will be conducted within a short time window that begins shortly after the breast cancer diagnosis and ends at the time of breast surgery. A total of 220 participants from about 50 hospitals in 8 countries (Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, Hungary, and Australia) will take part in the study.

Untersuchte Intervention

In the PREcoopERA study, participants are randomly assigned to three groups. Each group receives a different treatment:

- Group A: Giredestrant, a 30 mg capsule, to be taken orally once daily (to be swallowed).

- Group B: Giredestrant, a 30 mg capsule, to be taken orally once daily (to be swallowed), plus Triptorelin, administered by injection (syringe) at a dose of 3.75 mg during the study visit on Day 1.

- Group C: Anastrozole, a 1 mg tablet, to be taken orally once daily (to be swallowed), plus Triptorelin, administered by injection (syringe) at a dose of 3.75 mg during the study visit on Day 1.

Ein-/Ausschlusskriterien
Inclusion Criteria:

- Premenopausal women age =18 years, premenopausal status defined as:

Estradiol (E2) in the premenopausal range (according to institution parameters) or
Patient has been menstruating regularly during the 6 months prior to screening and has
not used any form of hormonal contraception or any other hormonal treatments during this
time.

- Histologically confirmed, operable invasive breast carcinoma.

- Eligible for upfront breast conservative surgery or upfront mastectomy: stage I,
stage II or operable stage III (excludes T4) (AJCC Cancer Staging Manual 8th edition
2017).46 Tumor size must be =1.0 cm Multicentric and multifocal tumors and bilateral
breast cancers are allowed but investigators must ensure the same tumor foci is
biopsied pre-treatment and post-treatment (e.g., via clipping of the biopsied tumor
foci).

- Documented estrogen receptor (ER)-positive tumor in accordance to ASCO/CAP
guidelines (Allison et al. 2020),47 assessed locally and defined as =1% of tumor
