About this study
Official title: Elacestrant for Treating ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer Patients With ctDNA Relapse
This is an international, multi-center, randomised, open label, superiority phase III trial of elacestrant vs standard endocrine therapy in patients with ER+/HER2- breast cancer and ctDNA relapse.
During the ctDNA screening phase, patients will be tested at different timepoints to detect the presence of ctDNA in their blood.
Patients who are found to be ctDNA-positive and have no evidence of distant metastasis, will be randomised 1:1 between standard endocrine treatment (the same they were receiving when tested ctDNA positive) versus elacestrant, provided they meet all eligibility criteria. After completion of the protocol treatment period, treatment will be left at the discretion of the treating physician.
Read the detailed description
International, multi-center, randomised, open label, superiority phase III trial of elacestrant vs standard endocrine therapy in patients with ER+/HER2- breast cancer and ctDNA relapse.
- ctDNA screening phase: After verification of the eligibility criteria for screening, patients will enter the ctDNA screening phase of the study in which plasma samples will be collected and tested with ctDNA assay to detect the presence of ctDNA. The test will be performed every 6 months from study entry until the end of accrual (approximately 5.7 years). During the screening phase, patients will be treated with standard adjuvant endocrine therapy [either tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor (exemestane, anastrozole or letrozole)] and followed-up as per standard of care. The outcome of the serial ctDNA assessments performed during the screening phase will be disclosed to investigators. Patients who are found to be ctDNA-negative at the end of the screening period will not be followed further in this study. Patients who are found to be ctDNA-positive at one of the screening time points will undergo an imaging work-up to assess the presence of distant metastases. Patients for whom the imaging work-up confirms no evidence of distant metastases or locoregional recurrence will be eligible for the randomised phase of the study provided they meet all other eligibility criteria. Patients for whom the imaging work-up shows evidence of distant metastases or locoregional recurrence will be excluded.
- Randomised trial:
Patients will be randomised 1:1 within 4 weeks from the date of ctDNA detection (i.e., the date on which the results of the test are received) between standard endocrine treatment (the same they were receiving when tested ctDNA positive) versus elacestrant.
In the absence of a withdrawal criteria, treatment in both arms will be administered for:
- For patients on ET between 1 to 5 years (12 to 60 months) at the time of randomisation: 2 to 6 years (allowing for 7 years of ET at the end of the study treatment).
- For patients on ET between 5 to 7.5 years (60 to 90 months) at the time of randomisation: 2 years.
After completion of the protocol treatment period, treatment will be left at the discretion of the treating physician.
Patients in both arms will undergo intensive follow-up with ctDNA tests at week 4 and week 16 after randomisation and every 16 weeks thereafter for a maximum of 3 years (36 months or 156 weeks) to assess ctDNA kinetics. In addition, the occurrence of distant metastases, locoregional recurrences and second cancers will be assessed via yearly mammograms and bone scans and 16-weekly CT scans thorax/abdomen for a maximum of 3 years after randomisation. Afterwards, follow-up will continue as per standard of care. All randomised patients will be followed-up until 3 years after the enrolment of the last patient.
End of study:
End of study occurs when all the following criteria have been satisfied:
All patients have completed their end of study visit. If a patient discontinues the follow-up due to withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or death, the end of study participation is defined as the time point when one of these events occurred The trial is mature for all analyses defined in the protocol and the database has been cleaned and frozen for these analyses.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Distant metastasis free survival (DMFS)
Distant metastasis free survival (DMFS) defined as the time from randomisation until first distant metastatic recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first
Measured: Final DFMS will be 6.25 years after the first patient randomised.
Secondary outcomes (7)
Invasive disease-free survival (iDFS)
According to the STEEP criteria, it's defined as the time between the date of randomisation and the date of the first occurrence of one of the following events: loco-regional disease recurrence, distant metastasis, invasive contralateral breast cancer, invasive non-breast second cancer, or date of death from any cause
Measured: Through study completion, up to 11.7 years
Relapse-free survival (RFS)
Relapse-free survival (RFS) rate according to the STEEP criteria, including locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis, deaths from any cause as events
Measured: Through study completion, up to 11.7 years
Overall survival rate
Overall survival rate
- Safety including but not limited to all adverse events, serious adverse events, laboratory abnormalities graded according to CTCAE version 5.0
Measured: Through study completion, up to 11.7 years
Adverse events
Safety including but not limited to all adverse events, serious adverse events, laboratory abnormalities graded according to CTCAE version 5.0
Measured: as of randomization until 30 days after administration of the last dose of protocol treatment.
Health Related Quality of Life QLQ-C30
European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (QLQ-C30). This is a patient-reported questionnaire composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. These include five functional scales, three symptom scales, a global health status / QoL scale, and six single items. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100.A high scale score represents a higher response level. Thus a high score for a functional scale represents a high / healthy level of functioning, a high score for the global health status / QoL represents a high QoL, but a high score for a symptom scale / item represents a high level of symptomatology / problems.
Assessments will be performed at 21 days before randomisation, 4 weeks, 16 weeks, 32 weeks, 48 weeks, 64 weeks, and 80 weeks after randomisation using the following measures: QLQ-C30
Measured: weeks 4, 16, 32, 48, 64 and 80
Health Related Quality of Life EORTC IL146
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a secondary endpoint in this trial. HRQoL assessment aims at
- establishing the patient-reported tolerability profile in each treatment arm.
- comparing the patient-reported benefit between the two treatment arms.
Assessments will be performed at 21 days before randomisation, 4 weeks, 16 weeks, 32 weeks, 48 weeks, 64 weeks, and 80 weeks after randomisation using the following measures: EORTC IL146.
Measured: weeks 4, 16, 32, 48, 64 and 80
Health Related Quality of Life QLQ-BR42

- establishing the patient-reported tolerability profile in each treatment arm.
- comparing the patient-reported benefit between the two treatment arms.
