Brief Summary:
Evaluation of the potential incremental efficacy and safety of inavolisib in the neoadjuvant endocrine treatment of early-stage HER2-positive, HR-positive, PIK3CA mutant breast cancer.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
HER2-positive Breast Cancer Drug: Inavolisib Drug: PHESGO Drug: Endocrine therapy Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, phase II study to evaluate the potential incremental efficacy and safety of inavolisib in the neoadjuvant treatment of early-stage HER2-positive, HR-positive, PIK3CA mutant breast cancer.

170 patients with confirmed eligibility criteria and PIK3CA mutant breast cancer will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive: Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy in combination with dual anti-HER2 blockade consisting of ready-to-use fixed-dose combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab as subcutaneous (PH-FDC SC) formulation q3w for 6 cycles (18 weeks) with (6cycles) or without inavolisib. Endocrine therapy consists of either tamoxifen 20mg or an aromatase inhibitor +/- GnRH analogue for premenopausal women and men.

In both study arms, treatment will be given until surgery/core-biopsy, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent of the patient.

All patients will undergo surgery or biopsy after completing study therapy to assess pCR rate.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Pathologic complete response in the breast and axillary lymph nodes (ypT0/is ypN0) [ Time Frame: 21 weeks (time window + 3 weeks) ]
    Pathological complete response (ypT0/is ypN0) is defined as no microscopic evidence of residual invasive tumor cells in all resected specimens of the breast and axilla.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rates of ypT0 ypN0; ypT0 ypN0/+; ypT0/is ypN0/+; ypT(any) ypN0 [ Time Frame: 21 weeks (time window + 3 weeks) ]
    ypT0 ypN0 is defined as no microscopic evidence of residual invasive or non-invasive viable tumor cells in all resected specimens of the breast and axilla; ypT0 ypN0/+ is defined as no microscopic evidence of residual invasive or non-invasive viable tumor cells in all resected specimens of the breast; ypT0/Tis ypN0/+ is defined as no microscopic evidence of residual invasive viable tumor cells in all resected specimens of the breast

  2. pCR rates per arm separately for the stratified subpopulations [ Time Frame: 21 weeks (time window + 3 weeks) ]
    Pathological complete response (ypT0/is ypN0) is defined as no microscopic evidence of residual invasive tumor cells in all resected specimens of the breast and axilla.

  3. Response rates of the breast tumor and axillary nodes based on physical examination and imaging tests (sonography, mammography, or MRI) after study treatment in both arms [ Time Frame: 21 weeks (time window + 3 weeks) ]

    Clinical (c) and imaging (i) response will be assessed every 2nd cycle and before surgery by physical examination and imaging tests. Sonography is the preferred examination.

    The response categories of the breast are:

    • Complete response (CR): complete disappearance of all tumor signs in the breast
    • Partial response (PR): reduction in the product of the two largest perpendicular diameters of the primary tumor size by 50% or more
    • Stable disease (NC): no significant change in tumor size during treatment which means an estimated reduction of the tumor area by less than 50%, or an estimated increase in the size of the tumor area lesions of less than 25%
    • Progressive disease (PD): development of new, previously undetected lesions, or an estimated increase in the size of pre-existing lesions by 25% or more after at least two cycles of therapy

  4. Percentage of patients receiving additional neoadjuvant chemotherapy after residual disease was confirmed by core biopsy at the end of study treatment [ Time Frame: 21 weeks (time window + 3 weeks) ]
    In case of ycT0 and no tumor residuals in the biopsy, it is recommended to undergo surgery. Further neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy and HER2-therapy will be administered at the discretion of the investigator and according to standard of care.

  5. Breast conservation rate after treatment [ Time Frame: 21 weeks (time window + 3 weeks) ]
    Breast conservation is defined as tumorectomy, segmentectomy or quadrantectomy as a most radical surgery.

  6. Safety and tolerability profile (haematological and non-haematological adverse events) after the first 20 and the first 40 patients who started therapy and have completed two cycles of therapy [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Tolerability and safety analyses include assessment of patients whose treatment had to be dose reduced, delayed or permanently stopped. The reason for treatment discontinuation includes aspects of efficacy (e.g. discontinuation due to tumor progression), safety (e.g. discontinuation due to haematological and non-haematological adverse events) and compliance (e.g. discontinuation due to withdrawal of consent). Safety by toxicity grades are defined by the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0

  7. Overall safety and tolerability and treatment compliance in the two arms [ Time Frame: 21 weeks (time window + 3 weeks) ]
    Descriptive statistics for the 2 treatment arms will be given on the number of patients whose treatment had to be dose reduced, delayed or permanently stopped. Reasons for premature discontinuation will be categorized according to the main reason and will be presented in frequency tables. Safety by toxicity grades are defined by the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0, laboratory parameters will be converted in CTC-grades and reported together with other adverse events.

  8. Invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) and overall survival (OS) in both arms and according to stratified subpopulations (data collected within a registry). [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]
    Survival endpoints are defined as the time period between randomization and first event and will be analyzed after the end of the study by referring to data from GBG´s registries

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Written informed consent for all study procedures according to local regulatory requirements prior to beginning specific protocol procedures.
  2. Untreated, unilateral primary carcinoma of the breast, confirmed histologically by core biopsy. Fine-needle aspiration alone is not sufficient. Incisional biopsy is not allowed.
  3. Tumor lesion in the breast with a palpable size of ≥ 2 cm or a sonographical size of ≥ 1 cm in maximum diameter. The lesion has to be measurable in two dimensions, preferably by sonography.
  4. Patients must be in the following stages of disease:

    • cT1c - cT3 In patients with multifocal or multicentric breast cancer the largest lesion (target lesion) should be measured.

  5. HR+/HER2+ disease with centrally confirmed ER-status, PR-status, HER2-status, PIK3CA mutation (tumor), Ki-67 value and TILs on core biopsy (target lesion). ER/PgR positive and HER2-positive is defined according to current ASCO/CAP guidelines. PIK3CA mutational status will be determined by NGS. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) breast tissue from core biopsy has therefore to be sent to the GBG central pathology laboratory prior to randomization.
  6. Age >=18 years, female and male.
  7. ECOG Performance status 0-1.

  11. For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for least 7 months after the last dose of PH-FDC SC. Examples of non hormonal contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year include: bilateral tubal ligation; male partner sterilization; intrauterine devices. For men: men must remain abstinent or use a condom with a spermicidal product during the treatment period and for 7 months after the last dose of PH-FDC therapy to avoid exposing the embryo. Men and women must refrain from donating sperm/eggs during this same period.
