Special Category: CTSU trial

Objectives

Primary

  1. To compare the progression-free survival of letrozole therapy plus placebo with the combination of letrozole therapy plus bevacizumab as first-line treatment in women with estrogen- and/or progesterone-receptor-positive stage IIIB-IV breast cancer.

Secondary

  1. To compare the proportion of patients receiving letrozole plus placebo and receiving letrozole plus bevacizumab who remain progression-free at 6 and 12 months.
  2. To compare the incidence of objective response (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]), in patients receiving letrozole with and without bevacizumab, as determined by RECIST criteria, excluding patients with non-measurable disease.
  3. To compare the incidence of clinical benefit (CR + PR + stable disease ≥ 6 months) in patients receiving letrozole with and without bevacizumab.
  4. To compare the duration of objective response in patients receiving letrozole with and without bevacizumab.
  5. To compare the time to treatment failure, defined as the interval from randomization until progression, toxicity, withdrawn consent, or going onto nonprotocol therapy, in patients receiving letrozole with and without bevacizumab.
  6. To compare the overall survival of patients receiving letrozole with and without bevacizumab, including the probability of survival until 36 months.
  7. To compare toxicity levels between placebo and bevacizumab in both the letrozole treated patients and in the tamoxifen-treated patients.
  8. To compare progression-free survival and overall survival of all patients receiving endocrine therapy with and without bevacizumab (by combining both letrozole and tamoxifen patient subgroups).

  • At least 28 days since surgical castration with bilateral oophorectomy
  • At least two weeks prior radiotherapy and all toxicities resolved
  • At least 12 months since the completion of prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy and all toxicities must have resolved
  • No prior anti-VEGF or VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy
  • No prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease
  • More than 28 days since prior major surgical procedure or open biopsy and fully recovered from any such procedure
  • No core biopsy or other minor surgical procedure (except placement of a vascular access device) within 7 days prior to study registration
  • Prior palliative irradiation of a symptomatic lesion, or one that may produce disability (e.g., unstable femur) prior to study initiation, provided other measurable or non-measurable disease is present, is allowed
  • Palliative radiotherapy may not be administered during protocol therapy
  • Must not have anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study
  • Concurrent full dose anticoagulation therapy is allowed for the treatment of prior conditions such as venous thromboses or atrial fibrillation, but not for the treatment of prior arterial thrombotic events
    • Patients on full dose anticoagulants must be on a stable dose of warfarin and have an in-range INR (usually between 2 and 3) or be on a stable dose of low molecular weight heparin
  • Concurrent antiplatelet agents, daily prophylactic aspirin, or anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation allowed
  • Concurrent treatment with bisphosphonates is allowed and recommended
  • No concurrent hormones or other chemotherapeutic agents except for steroids given for adrenal failure or chronic non-cancer related diseases, hormones administered for non-disease-related conditions (e.g., insulin for diabetes), and intermittent use of dexamethasone as an antiemetic in solid tumor protocols

Patient Characteristics:

  • Menopausal status: pre- or postmenopausal, meeting 1 of the following criteria:
    • Age ≥ 55 years and one year or more of amenorrhea
    • Age < 55 years and one year or more of amenorrhea, with an estradiol assay < 20 pg/ml
    • Age < 55 with prior hysterectomy but intact ovaries, with an estradiol assay < 20 pg/ml
    • Surgical menopause with bilateral oophorectomy
    • Ovarian suppression on a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist (goserelin acetate or leuprolide acetate)

Outline

This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to planned endocrine therapy (letrozole vs tamoxifen), disease measurability (no vs yes), and disease-free interval from initial diagnosis to first progression (≤ 24 months vs > 24 months). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive oral endocrine therapy (tamoxifen citrate or letrozole) once daily and bevacizumab IV every 21 days. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


  • Arm II: Patients receive oral endocrine therapy (tamoxifen citrate or letrozole) once daily and a placebo IV every 21 days. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 6 months for the first 2 years, then annually for up to 3 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
