A Randomised, Multicentre, Double-Blind, Phase III study will evaluate the safety and
efficacy of AZD9833 (next generation oral SERD) in combination with palbociclib versus
anastrozole in combination with palbociclib for the treatment of patients with
ER-positive breast cancer. The goal of the study is to demonstrate superiority of AZD9833
over anastrozole in the context of combination with palbociclib in first line setting.
INFORMATION FOR TRIAL PARTICIPANTS
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat breast cancer.
In people with cancer, some cells have grown out of control to form tumours.
The trial drugs palbociclib, camizestrant, and anastrozole are designed to work by
blocking the cancer's ability to grow. Camizestrant is also called AZD9833. Palbociclib
and anastrozole are already available as treatments for people with certain type of
breast cancer.
In this trial, the researchers want to find out how well taking camizestrant with
palbociclib, or anastrozole with palbociclib, works in participants with breast cancer
that has ER proteins but does not have overexpression of HER2 protein.
The researchers will look at which trial treatments help the participants live longer
with cancer before it gets worse.
The trial will split participants into 2 groups:
- Participants in Group 1 will take camizestrant, palbociclib, and a placebo matched
with anastrazole.
- Participants in Group 2 will take anastrozole, palbociclib, , and a placebo matched
with camizestrant.
A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it.
A computer program will be used to randomly choose the treatments each participant gets.
This helps make sure the groups are chosen fairly. Researchers do this so that comparing
the results of each treatment will be as accurate as possible.
The participants will take their trial treatments in periods called "cycles". Each cycle
will last 28 days. During each cycle, the participants will take:
- camizestrant or anastrozole once daily by mouth
- palbociclib once daily by mouth for 21 days. Then, they will not take any
palbociclib for 7 days
Some participants will also get either goserelin or leuprorelin once every month.
Participants could get goserelin or leuprorelin if:
- They are medically determined yet to reach menopause status
- They are male
They will get this treatment as an injection under the skin or into a muscle. Goserelin
and leuprorelin work by decreasing the amount of sex hormones made by the body which will
lead to reduction of ER production. This can help stop breast cancer from growing.
Participants will take trial treatment until the cancer gets worse or they leave the
trial.
Participants will visit their trial site several times throughout the trial. At these
visits, the trial doctors will check the health of the participants. They will also take
blood samples and do scans of the participants' tumors.
