Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This is a phase 3 treatment trial for individuals with a specific type of breast cancer known as Hormone Receptor Positive (HR+) and HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of adding an experimental drug, Palbociclib, to the current treatment regimen of anti-HER2 therapy and endocrine therapy. The goal is to understand if Palbociclib can delay the onset of therapeutic resistance and prolong the survival of patients. This study focuses on those with HER2+ disease who are also hormone receptor positive (HR+), as it's believed that Palbociclib may help overcome endocrine resistance in these patients and enhance the benefits of anti-HER2 therapy. Participants in this trial will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive Palbociclib along with their current anti-HER2 therapy and endocrine therapy, while the other group will continue with only the anti-HER2 therapy. The primary outcome measured in this study is Progression-free Survival (PFS), which is the time from the start of the study until the disease worsens or the participant passes away. The study also includes a detailed molecular examination of the disease at the start, allowing researchers to explore the benefits of Palbociclib in specific subsets of HER2+/HR+ disease, such as those with PIK3CA mutant.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

518 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Treatment Study

These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.

Criteria

1 inclusion criteria required to participate
Patients must have received an acceptable, standard, chemotherapy containing anti-HER2 based induction therapy for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer prior to study enrollment. For this study, chemotherapy is limited to a taxane or vinorelbine (only for trastuzumab-based regimen). Eligible patients are expected to have completed 6 cycles of chemotherapy containing anti-HER2-therapy treatment. A minimum of 4 cycles of treatment is acceptable for patients experiencing significant toxicity associated with treatment as long as they are without evidence of disease progression (i.e. CR, PR or SD). The maximum number of cycles is 8. Patients can randomize immediately following completion of their induction therapy, or for those who have already completed induction, a gap of 12 weeks between their last infusion/dose of induction therapy and the C1D1 visit is permitted. Patients are eligible provided they are without evidence of disease progression by local assessment (i.e. CR, PR or SD).

1 exclusion criteria prevent from participating
Uncontrolled current illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, diabetes, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. Ability to comply with study requirements is to be assessed by each investigator at the time of screening for study participation.
