What this study is about

View original scientific description
The purpose of this study to assess the safety and efficacy of elacestrant, a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) and dual biologic therapy, trastuzumab and pertuzumab, in patients with triple-positive breast cancer with and without an ESR1 mutation.
Interventions
DRUG
Elacestrant
Elacestrant will be administered orally once daily at a dose of 345 mg daily.
DRUG
Trastuzumab
Initial dose of trastuzumab is 8 mg/kg administered as a 90-minute intravenous infusion, followed every 3 weeks thereafter by a dose of 6 mg/kg administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 to 90 minutes.
DRUG
Pertuzumab
The initial dose of PERJETA is 840 mg administered as a 60-minute intravenous infusion, followed every 3 weeks thereafter by a dose of 420 mg administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 to 60 minutes.
Primary outcome measures
Median progression-free survival
Time frame: From the date of first dose to the date of first radiological documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first (up to 2 years)
Progression-free survival will be measured as the time from the date of first dose to the date of first radiological documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Female patients aged 18 years or older.
- Should be able to provide the informed consent.
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of triple-positive breast cancer (ER+, PR+, HER2+). In the study, ER status will be considered positive if ≥10% of tumor cells demonstrate positive nuclear staining by immunohistochemistry, with PR\>1%. Patients may be considered to be enrolled on study with prior approval of study PI if ER \>10% and without PGR positivity HER2 status will be considered positive with the score of 3+ with immunohistochemistry staining or 2+ by immunohistochemistry and FISH -amplified as per ASCO CAP guidelines (2023)"
- Disease progression on or after at least one line of NCCN recommended prior therapy
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2.
- Patient has adequate organ function, as defined by the following laboratory values:
- Hematologic Value:
- Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL, without transfusion or growth factors within 1 week
- Neutrophils ≥1.5×103/μL or ≥1.0×103/μL for participants with benign ethnic neutropenia
- Platelets ≥100×103/μL
- Patient must have a baseline LVEF ≥50 % or ≥ institutional LLN within 28 days prior to the study treatment.
- Sex and Contraceptive/Barrier Requirements
- While on study treatment a participant must not breastfeed or be pregnant
- Have a negative highly sensitive (eg, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin \[β-hCG\]) pregnancy test at screening and agree to further pregnancy tests per the protocol.
- Practice at least 1 highly effective method of contraception; if oral contraceptives are used, a barrier method of contraception must also be used.
- Female participants (pre- or perimenopausal) must use the appropriate highly effective, non-hormonal contraception method within 28 days of the first dose of study treatment, until 7 months after the last dose of study treatment (or longer based on companion drug). Highly effective methods of contraception are those methods that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly are considered as highly effective birth control methods. Such methods include: i. intrauterine device (IUD) ii. bilateral tubal occlusion iii. vasectomized partner iv. sexual abstinence (i.e., refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the study treatment and 120 days after the last dose of study treatment). e. Unacceptable contraception methods: Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhoea methods are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female condom and male condom should not be used together.
Exclusion criteria
- Prior treatment with a SERD.
- Prior treatment with more than two lines of chemotherapy for metastatic disease, including antibody drug conjugates.
- Untreated and/or active CNS metastases.
- History of other malignancies within the past 5 years (except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix).
- Inability to take oral medications, refractory or chronic nausea, gastrointestinal conditions (including significant gastric or bowel resection), history of malabsorption syndrome, or any other uncontrolled gastrointestinal condition that impact the absorption of the study drug
- Known intolerance to elacestrant or any of its excipients
- Uncontrolled active infection or intercurrent illness.
- Patients with known HBV and/or HCV infection must have undetectable viral load during screening (See Appendix B).
- Patients known to be HIV+ are allowed if they have undetectable viral load at baseline.
- Patients who are on any of the prohibited medications listed in sections 7.6 and 7.4.
- Male participants will not be included because Male breast cancer is rare and may differ biologically and hormonally, which would introduce heterogeneity difficult to address in a small, single arm phase II trial.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
